cross trendline up/down alert in api value set to 2 decimal places

[mnewton]

value stored in trendline alert is to 2 dec places.

trendline is to 5 dec places would be good if they were both 5 dec places

[Mike Medved]

The "value" that is shown is the price of the stock at the time of the alert (I am not sure why the 0.41 is there when the cross down is below that though).

Was the value of the stock at the time the alert triggered NOT 2 dec places?

The alert shows on the chart with 4 decs.

and also when looking at the trend info.

not sure why it would store the current stocks price tho'

If that's the case then i have to unpack the $ amount from the title/text

The alert level shows with 4 decimals. BUT when the alert triggers the "value" that is passed to you in API is the price of the stock at the time the alert triggered.

Also - take a look at the new "Price Alerts" indicator. It shows the Price alerts that are set in the Alert system (not the trendline alerts, just the regular price alert system) on the chart. Since you are not using a slanted trendline for your alerts, maybe that's a simpler alternative.

the trend line is at 5.0864

but the value in the filed from the api is 5.09 

must be rounded to 2 dec

should be 5.0864

[Jerry Medved]

the "value" is the price that triggered, not the trendline value.  The price that triggered the alert was 5.09
