Bar volume in $ + help
Posted: Thu Jul 29, 2021 3:05 pm
Hey guys, I wrote a simple script to show the bar average price (high+low /2) and more importantly for me the volume of the bar in USD. For me, it's easier to understand. Here's the thing - I just get an astronomical number. 
. Is there a simple way to break it down and show it in a string, to 3 decimal places? I use this specifically on altcoin charts to see the actual BTC value in $.
e.g.
$1000
$1.000K
$123.000K
$1.000M
.... etc.
I'm especially interested in showing that value for the bar the cursor is focused on. Any help is much appreciated. And thanks.
