Hello. I'm new to jForex and to Java (although I know C/C++). I'd like to implement a timer in my strategy so that from the moment I start it, a task is completed every x seconds. I googled a bit and tried to merge what I found with my strategy code. The result: https://paste.pocoo.org/show/278054/

Please, look only until

public void onStart

because the rest is not important right now. With this setup I get the following errors:

17:34:01 ----------
17:34:01 ReminderBeep cannot be resolved to a type
17:34:01 ^^^^^^^^^^^^
17:34:01 new ReminderBeep(2);
17:34:01 2. ERROR in /tmp/jfxide/tmp/Strategy.java (at line 44)
17:34:01 ----------
17:34:01 Return type for the method is missing
17:34:01 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
17:34:01 public ReminderBeep(int seconds) {
17:34:01 1. ERROR in /tmp/jfxide/tmp/Strategy.java (at line 27)
17:34:01 ----------

I guess it's something really simple I'm missing, nevertheless I kindly ask for help.

Hello,
we corrected your code:

   . . .
  @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
  class ReminderBeep implements Callable{ 
          //This one look like constructor, so we putted in a inner class
          //This class implements callable interface, because this class must be lunched in a separate thread - not in a strategy's thread
     public ReminderBeep(int seconds) {
   
       timer = new Timer();
       timer.schedule(new RemindTask(), seconds*200);
     }

   @Override
   public Object call() throws Exception {
      return null;
   }
  }
   . . .
   //timer is called in a separate thread 
   context.executeTask(new ReminderBeep(2));
    . . .
