GET 5 DECIMAL

[[Deleted]]

Very good, 

Again I start learning to program in MQL. 

Now what I want is to calculate the average high and low price. 

First in a separate window, and 5 decimal places in the result. 

The problem is I know I have to use "DoubleToString". But I put it all the way and got the error.

buf_0[i]=HL;
string DoubleToStr(HL, 5);

   return(rates_total);
}

 How and where should I put "DoubleToStr"? 

thank you very much

burnssss:

 How and where should I put "DoubleToStr"? 

In a Print() or Comment() statement . . .  Doubles are more than 5 digits . . . you just can't see more than 4 when you Print or Comment unless you do something like DoubleToStr()

[qjol]

can you please explain again why do need of using "DoubleToString" ?

good, 

I want to use DoubleToStr. 

The problem is, that in calculating the average, the number contains 8 decimal. 

In my display 4 decimal is. 

I want to appear 5 decimal. 

DoubleToStr calculated change the format, the string, in order to limit the number of decimal number. 

DoubleToStr How should I use and where? 

Thank you very much

then use IndicatorDigits

Thank you very much qjol. 

You were right. Much easier that way. 

Thank you very much
