Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] Decimal places

Unfortunately MetaStock will always display all decimal places in 
indicator and exploration values.  There is a way to restrict decimal 
place output only in the Expert Commentary.

The best solution is to round-off decimal places.
Try this indicator example from
http://www.metastocktools.com/#metastock :


===================================
Round to nearest decimal or integer
===================================
---8<---------------------------------------

{ Rounds off data array to nearest specified
  decimal place [+x] or integer [-x].

{ Sample Data Array to be rounded }
val:=Mov(C,21,E);

{ User inputs }
x:=Input("Round to nearest  decimal [+x]  or integer [-x]",-10,10,1);
plot:=Input("Data output:  [1]Rounded,  [2]Original",1,2,1);

{ Rounding engine }
rounded:=Int(val*Exp(Log(10)*Int(x))+.5)
 /Exp(Log(10)*Int(x));

{ Plot in own window }
If(plot=1,rounded,val)
