Post From: [ACSIL] float conversions

Folks, I'm trying draw a bar for every price tick between the highest high and lowest low on the chart. Is there an array of all the price ticks in the graph?

At first I tried incrementing the lowest low by the sc.TickSize, but the float data types lose their accuracy when I do anything to them.


//My original solution here fails because floats lose information when added.

float highestHigh = sc.BaseData[SC_HIGH][sc.Index];
float lowestLow = sc.BaseData[SC_LOW][sc.Index];

for(float price = lowestLow;
price <= highestHigh;
price += sc.TickSize)
{
//supposed to draw line for each tick, but 'price' float gets skewed.
myDrawFunction(price);
}
