NormalizeVolume in connect API
27 Jul 2017, 13:15

Hey Guys :)

Is there a function that normalize the volume like the one in the cAlgo API(NormalizeVolume(double, RoundingMode))?

If not, how can i create one? what is it a normal amount in each size?

 

Thanks!!!

Hi obaum1,

Connect API does not offer this function. However, normalization requires a simple function like the following

 normalizedVolume = ((int)(volume / step) * step);

The Symbol's step is provided by the Accounts API. You can get it using  the following request

Based on your needs you can replace (int) with Math.Floor() or Math.Ceiling(). You can also add conditions for minimum and maximum quantity.

Best Regards,
