Re: [amibroker] Re: Rounding up the BuyPrice to the nearest 0.25 point

Hello,

Just for the reference, as far as integers are considered:
there is nicer method (single function call) to round UP to nearest integer:

ceil( number )  http://www.amibroker.com/f?ceil

and round DOWN to nearest integer:

floor( number ) http://www.amibroker.com/f?floor
