Dear Support,

I am looking to change my auto-trading program to re-enter a position if it gets stopped out and the prices then reverses past the original re-entry point.

For example, I would like to place a trade for EUR/USD at 1.35000 with a stop-loss at 1.34500. If this trade then gets stopped out, I would like to re-enter if it goes above 1.35000 again.

My trading points are decided by looking at graphs, so I am fine entering the parameters manually. What would be the best way to implement this plan?

The problem I had is how to determine that the stop got triggered.

Thank you in advance.

You might consider checking in onTick method if the previous order has been closed. Consider the following strategy:

package jforex.strategies.oneorder;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.TimeZone;

import com.dukascopy.api.*;
import com.dukascopy.api.IEngine.OrderCommand;

public class OneOrderStopTrigger implements IStrategy {

   private IConsole console;
   private IEngine engine;
   private IHistory history;
   
   private IOrder order;
   
   private final String label = "OneOrder";
   private SimpleDateFormat dateFormat;
   
   @Override
   public void onStart(IContext context) throws JFException {
      engine = context.getEngine();
      console = context.getConsole();
      history = context.getHistory();
      console.getOut().println("Start");
      
      dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss"); 
      dateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT")); 
      
      //the first order
      submitOrder(history.getLastTick(Instrument.EURUSD));
   }

   @Override
   public void onTick(Instrument instrument, ITick tick) throws JFException {
      
      if(!instrument.equals(Instrument.EURUSD))
         return;
      
      if (!engine.getOrders().contains(order)){
         //order is likely to have been closed on SL - create a new order
         submitOrder(tick);
      }
   }
   
   private void submitOrder(ITick tick) throws JFException{
      order = engine.submitOrder(label, Instrument.EURUSD, OrderCommand.BUYSTOP,
            0.01, //amount
            tick.getAsk() + 0.0005, //price of Buy stop
            20, //slippage
            history.getLastTick(Instrument.EURUSD).getBid() - 0.0005, //SL
            0);//TP
   }

   @Override
   public void onBar(Instrument instrument, Period period, IBar askBar, IBar bidBar) throws JFException {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub

   }

   @Override
   public void onMessage(IMessage message) throws JFException {
      console.getOut().println(dateFormat.format(message.getCreationTime()) + " " + message.getContent());

   }

   @Override
   public void onAccount(IAccount account) throws JFException {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub

   }

   @Override
   public void onStop() throws JFException {
      if (engine.getOrder(label) != null)
         engine.getOrder(label).close();

   }
