Hi,

I would like to know if someone knows how to increase the number of decimals shown in the data window. For price I get 5 digits but for some of the indicator I use I only get 4. Can I increase this?

Thanks

Use the following:


void IndicatorDigits( int digits)

Sets precision format (the count of digits after decimal point) to visualize indicator values. The symbol price preicision is used by default, the indicator being attached to this symbol chart.

Parameters:
digits - Precision format, the count of digits after decimal point.

Sample:

int init()
{
//---- 2 additional buffers are used for counting.
IndicatorBuffers(3);
//---- setting of drawing parameters
SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_HISTOGRAM,STYLE_SOLID,3);
SetIndexDrawBegin(0,SignalSMA);
IndicatorDigits(Digits+2);
//---- 3 allocated buffers of an indicator
SetIndexBuffer(0,ind_buffer1);
SetIndexBuffer(1,ind_buffer2);
SetIndexBuffer(2,ind_buffer3);
//---- "short name" for DataWindow and indicator subwindow
IndicatorShortName("OsMA("+FastEMA+","+SlowEMA+","+SignalSMA+")");
//---- initialization done
return(0);
}

use this code:
PHP Code
double dXPoint=1;


//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| expert initialization function                                   |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int init()
  {

      if (Digits==3||Digits==5)
         {
            dXPoint=10;
         }

      if (Digits==3||Digits==5)
         {
            dXPoint=10;
            int SLIPPAGE=SLIPPAGE*dXPoint;
         } 
   
      return(0);

Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but I tried to follow the instructions on how to increase the display to 5 decimals for one of the indi in the data window but failed.

Can any kind soul pls help to edit the Keltner Indi so that it displays 5 decimals in the data window of MT4.

A million thanks in advance.

I am an amateur at coding and maybe there is a more elegant solution, but this will always give you five digits in DataWindow, regardless of whether digits for the Symbol is 2,3,4 or 5.

I hope this is what you seek.
