Re: [amibroker] Rounder Lot Size

Sun, 30 Apr 2006 07:35:51 -0700

I should explain that the number of shares (aka the lot size) will be a
multiple of this rounding size.  So if you only set RoundLotSize to 100, you
will get 100 as the lowest unit, then all multiples above that: 200, 300,
400, 500, 600, 700, etc.  Using my code for rounding, you will still get
multiples of this rounding size, but when it reaches the next larger unit,
the rounding size goes up.  So the sequence would be 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50,
100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 1000, 2000, etc.  Hmm, I bet there is a simpler way
to code this as a single computation.
