The entry above did not display the pasted in  images, so I will try again:

----------------------------------

Hi,

1. If I set the default value of a parameter to 0 0.00015 value is shown in the parameter list as expected:

      [Parameter("Better entry ", DefaultValue = 0.00015, MinValue = 0)] // Try to get a better entry than the signal
      public double BetterEntry { get; set; }   

Note: This value is greater than one pip (AUDUSD)

But:

2. If I set the default value for the parameter to be less than 0.0001 like this:

      [Parameter("Better entry ", DefaultValue = 0.00005, MinValue = 0)] // Try to get a better entry than the signal
      public double BetterEntry { get; set; }   

the display shows the following:

Note: Trying to enter a value less than one pip (AUDUSD) fails.

3. Also if I use the parameter set in 1. above and enter 0.00005 by hand the 5E-05 is displayed as in 2:

This is awkward as I cannot enter a value in the interface to be less that one pip.

Why does this happen? Is this wanted behaviour?

Thanks,

TraderM

It will be adjusted not to display scientific format for this precision with the next release.
