Hello everybody,

Can someone enlighten me as to how i might be able to round down from 6 to 2 decimal places.

I have tried prec, floor, int, ceiling but they all truncate the numbers.

Any help would be appreciated

Sorry everyone i should be more specific i would like to turn say 6.06825 into 6.07 and not down to 6.06. I am having some troubles where my trades arent exiting because of .001 cent.

As MS truncates number.... add a .x5 after the number of decimal places you want, then truncate:

If you want to round 6.06825 to two decimal places:
6.06825 + 0.005 = 6.07325 and truncate this at two decimal places = 6.07

6.04999 + 0.005 = 6.05499 => 6.05
etc

Hope this helps.

Check out the accurate rounding indicator code available from MetaStockTools.com : "Rounding - rounds off any numerical value to nearest specified decimal place or integer." jose '-)
