Converting Price to Ticks - is it a bug?

[jtrader]

Hi , is that could be some bug? - sometimes ( 2 - 3 times daily ) on my automation file when converting price to ticks it converted to 0 ticks which is not true . I'm on version v1.62.0_b3 .

You'll get a 0 if there is no price available
A numerical value needs to be used so it can't just be left blank at these times

Thank you for answer,Dallas!

What a blindness I've seen in logs that I've taken avgerage price to convert and that's why converting fails sometimes...

Just a thought while I'm sat in the sun, the devil is often in the detail, if you're using num ticks to measure a move you might also try the change in implied probability, or even make it an either/or with num ticks. Different methods work slightly differently on different parts of the ladder.

I always think back to the GB cycling success and Dave Brailsford's 'Marginal Gains' phylosophy, if you find enough small almost imperceptible improvements the combined effect is worth having.

It might help or might not but it's another angle anyway. There's not many things to measure in a market so how they're measured creates some new parameters to investigate.

That was the story at least...

Suspect the full team on asthma medication (c5% enhancement) & dodgy brown bags with "medicine" in them played a bigger role )

Thanks,Shaun! Excellent point

I think that was the road team, not aware of any issues in the velodrome.

Either way it's valid approach especially when trading margins are small.
