I am having trouble getting decimal values out of ADX, PDM and MDM. They are all showing as integers.

Daniel, I have ADX in decimals for Metastock: Periods:=Input("Time Periods",1,100,14); PlusDM:=If(H>Ref(H,-1) AND L>=Ref(L,-1), H-Ref(H,-1),If(H>Ref(H,-1) AND L<Ref(L,-1) AND H-Ref(H,-1)>Ref(L,-1)-L, H-Ref(H,-1),0)); PlusDI:=100Wilders(PlusDM,Periods)/ATR(Periods); MinusDM:=If(L<Ref(L,-1) AND H<=Ref(H,-1), Ref(L,-1)-L,If(H>Ref(H,-1) AND L<Ref(L,-1) AND H-Ref(H,-1)<Ref(L,-1)-L, Ref(L,-1)-L,0)); MinusDI:=100Wilders(MinusDM,Periods)/ATR(Periods) ; DIDif:=Abs(PlusDI-MinusDI); DISum:=PlusDI+MinusDI; ADXFinal:=100*Wilders(DIDif/DISum,Periods); ADXFinal
