[GT] perl floating point great-equal bug?
Hello,
i'm new to this mailing list, i started using GT at the beginning
of this year but i didnt realize the project was going on, so i used the
older version and i modified it a little bit.
Now that i discoved the svn version im switching to it.
One of the things that i changed on the library that seems not corrected
in the svn version is a little bug using the >= and <= operators in
floating context.
The problem is that if you create the order using for the price
($order->price) a division like ($var/100)*100, the $order->price will
not be exactly $var but $var  0.000....01 (this is a known perl problem)
and the is_executed function could return false if the $order->price is
equal to the HIGH or the LOW of the bar.
In particular i created 2 functions in Tools.pm and changed all the <=
and >= with these functions in
Portfolio/Order.pm
is_executed function
lines 372 373 389 394 402 403 408 409
I dont know if this problem is present in other part of GT but i fixed
only in Order.pm
If someone is interested in the problem i can send the
Portfolio/Order.pm and Tools.pm modified.
I hope this is usefull.
