Hi Support,
I pasted in OnStart method the following lines:

        Set subscribedInstruments = context.getSubscribedInstruments();
        subscribedInstruments.add(Instrument.EURUSD);
        context.setSubscribedInstruments(subscribedInstruments);
 

the strategy compiles; then I tried to backtesting it and I received in Historical Tester the following
Exception:

21:44:51 Strategy tester: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException @ FrankStrategy_2011_05.onStart(FrankStrategy_2011_05.java:58)

the line 58 is

        subscribedInstruments.add(Instrument.EURUSD);
 

Best regards,
Frank

In Historical Tester you simply have to click the currencies that you're subscribing to. Hardcoded version will not work.

Hello support,

I get the same Exception, and i enderstand your explanation, but i still have another question,
Is it really needed to have the following code in the strategy for it works in the remote servers?

Set subscribedInstruments = context.getSubscribedInstruments();
subscribedInstruments.add(Instrument.EURUSD);
context.setSubscribedInstruments(subscribedInstruments);

Because i don't have this peace of code in the past and my strategy runs good in the remote servers.

Thanks,

Yes, for May you need to have this peace of code.

The Remote Server subscribes to the currencies from the platform. But in May you will you Dukascopy Forex Community web-site to run your strategy. You will upload the strategy right from the web-site and you need to indicate the subscribed currencies in the strategy code.

Hello again,

I have this peace of code, a litle diferent from yours, but this work with the Historical Tester, could i use it instead the other, or this one don´t work in the remote servers?

Set<Instrument> instSet = new HashSet<Instrument>();
instSet.add(Instrument.NZDUSD);
context.setSubscribedInstruments(instSet);

Thanks,

This is bit confusing dunno abut this and got stuck. The strategy is getting stopped by the remote server.

Yes, you can use this snippet. I think we might even recommend this snippet to everyone else because it does not give exception in the Historical Tester.
