Hi,
I had many situations when I needed to cast / round a double variable to an int.
Could you add round function to Calculation Expression?
P.S.
I observed that dividing a double variable by an int variable casts it automatically to an int. This is not default Java behavior. This only happens in the JForex Tester, not in the Visual Tester.
This made my entry prices go mad. Example values 0, 1 or 2.
Regards,
mosu_d

Hi, I think this is partially replied in your previous post. For rounding matters, you need 2 blocks: https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english ... 40&t=53122Generally speaking if you need to eliminate all decimals from a Double variable, you can use the Assign block: you'll have 1.12325 assigned to an integer and the value will be 1. Same for any double variable. Cheers

Hi Amine, The solution you gave in ROUNDING_3 is very ingenious for dropping the trailing (last) X digits. But it does not act like a round, but a trunc. Example  For double 111.568 the round value should be 112 integer. Regarding my initial P.S. If double 111.568 is calculated like this, and used in a position, it will take value 111 in JForex tester. This is a real pain/bug. Regards, mosu_d

Hi, After updating Visual Forex platform, the following block stops the entire strategy without any errors:  Where loopCounter is an Integer and Comment is a String. It worked in the previous version of Visual Forex and the strategy still works if tested in JForex Historical Tester. Regards, mosu_d

Hi;
Thanks for reporting this issue. If it is related to the fact of inactive calculation block when you open the strategy (Red header instead of green) then this issue is currently handled and will be fixed asap. If it is another issue then please send your strategy in vfs format.
Cheers !

Hi,
Round function in VJF is unfortunately not planned as an enhancement due to the outstanding issues and new functionalities to be implemented.
How important is this for your strategy ? the trunk idea doesn't help at all ? alternatively, can you change your code manually to insert this function ?
Thanks
