To Dukascopy Support,

Could you plz tell me how to save the no. of times a market level has been breached in a variable?

For example, if the EURUSD goes above the value of 1.3200 once and then goes below it and then again goes above it, it means it has breached it twice. So the variable should store 2.

Thanks.

Jimmy.

Consider retrieving ticks by time interval and then checking their prices:
https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#History_ticks/Ticks_by_time_interval

I don't want to retrieve the value of ticks by time interval but since the time a particular trade was opened.
For example, if a EURUSD trade was opened at 1.3200, I want to check how many times the level of 1.3225 has been breached since then. Could you plz tell me how to do that?

then you need to retrieve the ticks in a way similar to this:

List<ITick> ticks = history.getTicks(Instrument.EURUSD, order.getFillTime(), lastTick.getTime());

When I try to define the value of ticks as

List<ITick> ticks = history.getTicks(Instrument.EURUSD, order.getFillTime(), lastTick.getTime());

it show the following errors :

List cannot be resolved to a type

and

lastTick cannot be resolved

Do I need to define something else before I define ticks?

Download the strategy which is attached to the wiki article and run it to see how it works. Then adjust it to work with your selected interval.

I want to know how many times a particular level has been breached since the opening of a trade and not as per the time interval. After that I want to store that number in a variable. How should I change the following code to do that?

private void getTicksByTimeInterval() throws JFException{            
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS") {{setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));}};
        ITick lastTick = history.getLastTick(Instrument.EURUSD);
        List<ITick> ticks = history.getTicks(Instrument.EURUSD, lastTick.getTime() - 10 * 1000, lastTick.getTime());
        int last = ticks.size() - 1;
        console.getOut().println(String.format(
            "Tick count=%s; Latest bid price=%.5f, time=%s; Oldest bid price=%.5f, time=%s", 
            ticks.size(), ticks.get(last).getBid(), sdf.format(ticks.get(last).getTime()), ticks.get(0).getBid(), sdf.format(ticks.get(last).getTime())));
    }

We added another wiki example, see:
https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#History_ticks/Follow_the_price_dynamic

An error is generated for

package jforex.data;

that it expects 'import' instead of 'package' and when I write

import jforex.data;

again an error is generated. Plz tell me what should I write instead of it?

Please provide full error message. Also see if this could help you with the strategy running:
https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Create_a_strategy

In the example that you provided in your last to last reply - https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#History_ ... ce_dynamic,
in the code it is

package jforex.data;

But when I write that in my strategy, an error is generated. Again, when I write

import jforex.data;

another error is generated.

Here is the full error message.

2012-10-18 13:53:17 The import jforex.data cannot be resolved

Can I substitute package jforex.data with something else?

you can compile the strategy also without the import, for avoiding such mistakes consider usage of some IDE like Eclipse or Netbeans which provide automatic assistance and tips for solving such issues, see:

https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Use_in_NetBeans

In case you still encounter such problems please provide attach to the post your example strategy.
