Excuse me,

I was wondering whether you could tell me how to make use of @Configurable annotation in JForex-SDK.

It seems not easy to get access to these user defined parameters in JForex-SDK via user interface frame.

Would you please help me out?

Thank you so much!

Hi Backkettle:

Using the @Configurable annotation is very simple. You declare this annotation before the PUBLIC variable in variable area at the beginning of the strategy (the variable must be public). Some examples:

//Strategy configurable variables
    @Configurable("Instrument to use:")
    public Instrument myInstrument = Instrument.EURUSD;
    @Configurable("Period to use:")
    public Period myPeriod = Period.ONE_HOUR;
    @Configurable("Risk value (100/risk):")
    public double myRisk = 0.02;
    @Configurable("Take Profit:")
    public int myTakeProfit = 50;
    @Configurable("Stop Loss:")
    public int myStopLoss = 15;
    @Configurable("Difference Value in Pips:")
    public double myDifference = 10;
    // Time specifics (related to server time - GMT)
    @Configurable("Control time:")
    public boolean myControlTime = true;
    @Configurable("Trade weekends:")
    public boolean myTradeWeekends = false;
    @Configurable("Beggin Trade hour:")
    public int myBeginTime = 7;
    @Configurable("End trade hour")
    public int myEndTime = 21;
    // RSI Specifics
    @Configurable("RSI Min:")
    public double myRSIMin = 41.0;
    @Configurable("RSI Max:")
    public double myRSIMax = 59.0;
    @Configurable("RSI interval:")
    public int myRSIInterval = 14;
    @Configurable("Before trigger value:")
    public double myRSITrigger = -2;
    @Configurable("Order inverter")
    public boolean myOrderInverter = true;

The resulting window when strategy starts:

Thank you very much for your reply.

However, I meant to ask how to use @Configurable annotation in JForex-SDK, which I could use Java IDE like eclipse to import the project and start programming.

As a matter of fact, I already knew how to use @Configurable annotation in JForex client。

Thank you all the same.

Hi backkettle:

My apologies for the misunderstanding of your question. Using the API directly in our imlementation to show us the frame with the @Configurable parameters, i don't know if the implementation of this is builded on API itself or in JForex client itself. We can only be sure of this hacking the source code of the API or other solution is implementing a JFrame (separated window) or a JPanel (for the user interface) with the parameters we want to be available and call it to change them. Maybe Support can say anything about this.

Best regards

JL

Thank you so much, jlongo.

I am so appreciative of your help and support.
