New comment
 

Hi there, What i want to do is getting numbers like 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 from OBJ_EDIT, but it seems to only return 0 and leaving everyother text after the 0. Any help rectifing this. thank in advance.

ObjectCreate(_Symbol, "LOTEDIT", OBJ_EDIT, 0,0,0);
        ObjectSetInteger(_Symbol, "LOTEDIT", OBJPROP_CORNER, 4);
       ObjectSetInteger(_Symbol, "LOTEDIT", OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 10);
       ObjectSetInteger(_Symbol, "LOTEDIT", OBJPROP_XSIZE, 90);
       ObjectSetInteger(_Symbol, "LOTEDIT", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 70);
       ObjectSetInteger(_Symbol, "LOTEDIT", OBJPROP_YSIZE, 30);
       ObjectSetString(_Symbol, "LOTEDIT", OBJPROP_TEXT, MinLot);

/////////////////function

 void OnChartEvent(const int id, const long &lparam, const double &dparam, const string &sparam){

         if( id == CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CLICK){
            if(sparam == "BUYBUTTON"){
                  int LOTTOBUY = ObjectGetString(_Symbol, "LOTEDIT", OBJPROP_TEXT);
                  if(NOOFTRADE >= 1){
                        ObjectSetString(0, "INFOTEXT", OBJPROP_TEXT, LOTTOBUY+ " BUY TRADE ENTERED");
                        buyTrade();
                        PlaySound("ok.wav");
                 }
}


whenever this code is been ran, any number above 0 is been accepted. Let say i want to open 0.01 lot size and i input 0.01 in the OBJ_EDIT ("LOTEDIT") it always return 0 leaving out the .01 hence making it an invaid lot size enty. hope my problem is been understood. any help please?

Show your code if you want some help otherwise we can’t see your errors 
And what numbers do you mean the text value, coordinates or what ?

Don’t use an integer variable to get a string
