Hi all

I wish to incorporate encog in my strategy
My understanding is that I need to use @Library("......jar") but am unclear about two things

1) Am I right in understanding that a full path is required if you place the encog.jar file in the files folder

2) It is not clear to me which encog.jar file is the correct one to use

Thank you

The full path is always required.

The .jar files you're looking for depend where you obtained them.
For the latest Encog version 3.1.0 installations, you need the following jars

if you downloaded encog-core-3.1.0-release.zip

jar you want is encog-core-3.1.0.jar found in the <ENCOG_CORE_INSTALL>\lib directory

if you downloaded encog-examples-3.1.0.zip

jar you want is encog-core-3.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar found in the <ENCOG_EXAMPLES_INSTALL>\lib directory

Both jars are essentially the same.
Where ever any of these jar files reside, your strategy needs the full path to either.

Thank you so much for the responses............................
However when I compile my strategy I get the following single error message
**************************
Code is as follows:-

The compiler doesn't like those imports you placed after the @ constructs. Move the quantisan imports back up with the java.util ones.

Hi

did what you suggested.........

The compiler is still not happy

These types belong in the com.dukascopy.api package. If you haven't imported com.dukascopy.api.* the compiler won't know about them.

You can also:

import com.dukascopy.api.Library; https://www.dukascopy.com/client/javadoc/com/dukascopy/api/Library.html
import com.dukascopy.api.RequiresFullAccess; https://www.dukascopy.com/client/javadoc/com/dukascopy/api/RequiresFullAccess.html

However, If you're compilng outside of JForex, then perhaps the dukascopy client libraries are not on your classpath.

Hopefully your coming from some other programming language and are just getting used to Java. The type of programming you are considering doing
(AI/ML/NN) is going to give you headaches if you're not one for fine detail.

Every JForex strategy file you see has dukascopy imports - study the examples - compile the examples - play around with them.
The same goes for Encog. Study the examples, compile the examples and play around with them outside of JForex.
Then bring both experiences together seamlessly

All the best.

Thank you - so simple, when you know

Happy New Year to you all
