Maybe something like this. Create global variable, like counter. In function onBar for example use period object to generate "interrupt" for a given interval. In this example code I use One_hour period, it means strategy in every hour will execute the code in this conditional statement. And then you can reset the timer, counters etc in other period like DAILY. Next you can create function sendOrder and in body this function check value of counter. Something like that...
import java.util.Random; 
import com.dukascopy.api.IEngine.OrderCommand;

public class Strategy implements IStrategy {

    private int counter = 0; // global variable

    public void onBar(Instrument instrument, Period period, IBar askBar, IBar bidBar) throws JFException {
       
        // per one hour do something
        // https://www.dukascopy.com/client/javadoc3/com/dukascopy/api/Period.html
        if (period.equals(Perdiod.ONE_HOUR)) {
            // generate random value
            Random r = new Random();
            // if random value larger than 0.5 send BUY, if less than send SELL order
            sendOrder(instrument, (r.nextDouble() > 0.5 ? OrderCommand.BUY : OrderCommand>SELL));
            // increment counters, timers etc
            counter++;
        } else if (period.equals(Period.DAILY)) {
            // reset timer, coutners etc
            reset();
        }

    }
   
    public void sendOrder(Instrument instrument, OrderCommand orderCommand) throws JFException {
        if (counter > 0) return;
        IOrder order = engine.submitOrder(getLabel(instrument), instrument, orderCommand, 1);
        order.waitForUpdate(2000);
    }
   
    protected String getLabel(Instrument instrument) {
        String label = instrument.name();
        label = label.substring(0, 2) + label.substring(3, 5);
        label = label + (tagCounter++);
        label = label.toLowerCase();
        return label;
    }

    public void reset() {
        counter = 0;
    }

}


You can use onTick function to increment counter etc. For example in every 500 ticks counter has reset
public void onTick(Instrument instrument, ITick tick) throws JFException {
      if (counter >= 500) {
        counter = 0;
    }
    counter++;
}

Thank you goose_ for your answer.

I have experience in systems that count to a limit and reset.
Now I am looking for a system that makes an order and then checks if there is any open orders, and if there are no open orders, then it will open an order again.
I have poor coding skills.

OnBar:
>OPEN ORDER WITH SL/TP
>CHECK IF ORDER IS STILL OPEN
>IF NO OPEN ORDER THEN OPEN NEW ORDER

I am looking at https://www.dukascopy.com/client/javadoc/ and asking this forum for help.

Thank you.

To check if there is no open orders is method engine.getOrders() https://www.dukascopy.com/client/javado ... ngine.html
This is na array. Examples how to use arraylist https://beginnersbook.com/2013/12/java-arraylist/ how it works. If You send order then this IOrder object is store to this array. And You can read this array using .size() method to verified is there any orders opened, any object in there. If You put something to array, ten array's size increase. And this method is how to track if there's any order opened right know.

engine.getOrders() track current opened order, but there is also a method context.getHistory().getOrderHistory to get list of closed orders
https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/en/devel ... er-history

Hello goose_

You are amazing at coding!

Can you make this so that it goes

BUY, SELL, BUY, SELL... infinite ?

That would be super

...and if it is not too hard, make it please so that it has stop loss and take profit and a time out when the order gets closed.

Thanks you are the superb!

:)

Then I can close this as solved.
