Having a hard time getting this working. Looked at all the threads detailing converting a double value to an int, but I always get the 'Cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'int'. An explicit conversion exists.' error message int he Ninja compiler. There is no longer an error on my variable volTicks, but when I try to use volTicks in another variable's formula, I get the error on those lines.

Here is a code snippet:

volTicks = Convert.ToInt32((Position.AvgPrice - Instrument.MasterInstrument.Round2TickSize(Bollinger(1, 100).Upper[1])) / TickSize);

error is reported on these lines:
profitTarget1 = volTicks;
profitTarget2 = volTicks * 2.0;

All three variables are declared int. Really stuck on this, any help is appreciated!


Nevermind! Please delete thread... Missed a stupid error with the '2.0'.

Your line "profitTarget2 = volTicks * 2.0;" 2.0 is a double...
