TRADE struct encourages precision loss - 09/03/17 18:59
Hello.
Can you please change the member types of struct TRADE from float to double? The precision loss is a problem.
Here is an actual example where the conversion to float and back causes an issue. It became apparent when I tried to abuse a double to transfer a pointer to a TMF.

Code:
typedef struct TRADE { float fEntryPrice; // buy price, or premium without multiplicator float fExitPrice; // sell price per unit, without spread float fResult; // current profit of the trade float fEntryLimit; // buy entry limit float fProfitLimit; // profit limit price // ... } TRADE;

Code:
int callback(double v) { printf("ncallback v: %f", v); // v = 134550672.0 return 0; } void run() { if (Bar == StartBar) { enterLong(callback, 134550669.0); } }
