# Price Handling Patterns
> **Problem with this skill?** Run `kendex report` — it files to the owning repo automatically. Do not hand-file.
## The price type is `f64`
IEEE 754 double precision. No fixed-point, no decimal types.
Use `i64` fixed-point **only** for a matching engine (bit-exact required), a regulatory audit trail mandating reproducibility, or a settlement system with legal precision requirements. Hybrid: `i64` on the execution hot path, `f64` for display and analytics.
## Never `==` on prices
```rust
use float_cmp::{approx_eq, F64Margin};
pub const PRICE_EPSILON: f64 = 1e-10; // sub-pipette tolerance
pub fn prices_equal(a: f64, b: f64) -> bool {
approx_eq!(f64, a, b, epsilon = PRICE_EPSILON, ulps = 4)
}
pub fn price_gte(a: f64, b: f64) -> bool { a > b || prices_equal(a, b) }
pub fn price_lte(a: f64, b: f64) -> bool { a < b || prices_equal(a, b) }
```
## Round only at the boundaries
| Boundary | Rounding |
|---|---|
| Order submission (OrderRequest → broker API) | Round to tick, then validate alignment |
| Display formatting | Round to the symbol's `display_decimals` |
| Market data ingestion (ticks, bars, quotes) | **Never** — preserve full feed precision |
| P&L calculation | **Never** — use raw values |
```rust
pub fn round_to_tick(price: f64, tick_size: f64) -> f64 {
(price / tick_size).round() * tick_size
}
pub fn validate_tick_alignment(price: f64, tick_size: f64) -> bool {
prices_equal(price, round_to_tick(price, tick_size))
}
```
Order submission order: round to tick, validate alignment (on failure return an error — never re-round), then format for the broker API if it takes a string.
Format with the symbol's precision, never hardcoded decimals (EURUSD 5, AAPL 2, BTC 8):
```rust
format!("{:.1$}", price, symbol.display_decimals as usize)
```
## Symbol metadata owns precision
Tick size and display precision belong to the symbol, not to the price value. A `Price { value, decimals }` struct is the wrong shape.
```rust
#[derive(Clone, Copy)]
pub struct SymbolSpec {
pub symbol_id: u32,
pub tick_size: f64, // minimum price increment
pub display_decimals: u8, // decimal places for UI
pub lot_size: f64, // minimum quantity
}
impl SymbolSpec {
pub fn round_price(&self, price: f64) -> f64 {
round_to_tick(price, self.tick_size)
}
pub fn format_price(&self, price: f64) -> String {
format!("{:.1$}", price, self.display_decimals as usize)
}
}
```
The symbol table loads at subscription setup (cold path), is keyed by symbol ID, and re-syncs on reconnect or symbol list change.
## Price newtype
Optional: wrap `f64` in a `#[repr(transparent)]` newtype with `PartialOrd` but **no `PartialEq`**; equality goes through `prices_equal`. Constructor `debug_assert!`s `is_finite()`. Use for order types; skip on the market-data hot path.
## Normalize feeds to `f64` at ingest
Convert at the entry boundary; downstream code sees plain `f64` regardless of feed source.
```rust
// doubles (IB, dxFeed, Rithmic): pass through
fn ingest_double(value: f64) -> f64 { value }
// strings (Binance, Coinbase): parse
fn ingest_string(s: &str) -> Result<f64, ParseFloatError> { s.parse() }
// scaled integers (CME MDP): unscale
fn ingest_scaled(mantissa: i64, exponent: i8) -> f64 {
mantissa as f64 * 10f64.powi(exponent as i32)
}
```
