Hi guys,

However, i am not sure what exactly i have to learn to be able to code my EA in jforex.

Whether you start with the particular book or with online tutorials like the one the official java site is up to you. After trying out the first examples without any IDE, we suggest you to use one afterwards. The most popular of them is Eclipse. Have a look at the following tutorial (The 3rd section for the beginning is rather optional):
https://www.vogella.de/articles/Eclipse/article.html
And then import the Standalone API project:

For examples consider using strategies and indicators from:
    JForex wiki
    Code base

Thank you for your response. For sure, i will use Wiki and code base. However, i have seen chapters in these books i have mentioned dealing with metamorphism, inheritance and some other concepts.. Are these really important to start coding my ATS.

My ATS logic does not contain any indicator. It is only quantitative based system. It acquires data --> do some heavy calculations---->put orders----> manage orders on real time.

Thanks

If you are developing only a strategy, you will need very little of these object-oriented concepts. At least at the beginning. First of all you should focus on functionality and once you will feel more comfortable with Java you can refactor your strategy to be more object-oriented.
