NormalizeDouble found bug - or Ask or Digits / MarketInfo problem ?

[repxl]

Hello, first of all i have trouble to post on mq4 forum so i write here ... should be same anyways i found a bug.

 

(Test 1) 

double blue_0 = NormalizeDouble(iMA(NULL, 60, 5, 0, MODE_LWMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 0), Digits);

Print("first:",NormalizeDouble(blue_0 +(10 * Point), (int)MarketInfo(NULL, MODE_DIGITS)));

Print("sec",NormalizeDouble(Ask, (int)MarketInfo(NULL, MODE_DIGITS)));

 

(Test 2)

 double blue_0 = NormalizeDouble(iMA(NULL, 60, 5, 0, MODE_LWMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 0), Digits);

Print("first:",NormalizeDouble(blue_0 +(10 * Point), Digits));

Print("sec",NormalizeDouble(Ask, Digits));

 

here is the problem boys : http://oi65.tinypic.com/301ocox.jpg

somehow it gives abnormal digits from time to time ... happens not often but on many pairs you see it when u look for a minute on the expert window.

can anyone tell me how is that possible ? is it the Digits bugged or MarketInfo or Ask or iMA gives wrong digits ?

i hope someone can clear me out. a direct developer would be appreciated.

Please note that when output to Journal using the Print() function, a normalized number may contain a greater number of decimal places than you expect. For example, for:

double a=76.671;             // A normalized number with three decimal places    Print("Print(76.671)=",a);   // Output as is    Print("DoubleToString(a,8)=",DoubleToString(a,8)); // Output with a preset accuracy

you will have the following in the terminal:

DoubleToString(a,8)=76.67100000  Print(76.671)=76.67100000000001

i dont understand that means the double itself is correct just the "Print" function display more digits because it is converted to a string ? ...

Hi.

check this post. I had the same problem.

You can fix it by using this method:

DoubleToString(NormalizeDouble(dYourVariable,2), 2);

In all cases that's not a bug.
