Hi there,

I am trying to do the following calculate a range for price and store into a variable like follows:

if price is between 1.xx50-1.xx60 then action

and

if price is between 1.xx40-1.xx50 then action

how do I calculate that in visual jforex?

Hi,

You must use a trick to to that:
First you need to get the first 2 decimals and keep them for the next use ( x.yz40 etc ...), So the idea is to use calculation expression block to get the first "x.yz" number using a result that is defined as "integer" type because such variable type will disregard decimals. (1.12345 --> if set to integer will be --> 1) and then 100 that you see in the first calculation (A1/100/A2 is used to truncate and get the xyz in question.
Finally, you add your 0.0040 / 0.0050 / 0.0060 to the result.
