Hi,

I have a java program that uses the JForex API to control a number of accounts. DEMO and LIVE accounts. For the demo accounts however changing the StopLoss or TakeProfit levels always result in the following error message:

INFO: Message type ORDER_CHANGED_REJECTED VALIDATION_ERROR-Your order has been rejected due to validation failure. order amount is empty or zero related order ORDERLABEL state FILLED

The exactly same application works with no problems when connected to a live account.

Doe anyone have an idea what this is related to and how we can fix this?

Thanks for any clues

Moritz

Please provide an example strategy which replicates the problem. Also please provide all the relevant launch conditions.

Hi,

sorry for answering so late.

The problem appears on the live system since this morning. This is critical.

my Stand-Alone application starts a strategy which, in its onStart() method adds a barListener for EUR/USD just to get the timing right (handle trades every ten minutes when a 10min bar is finished).


@Override
public void onStart(IContext arg0) throws JFException
{
context = arg0;
HashSet<Instrument> iset = new HashSet<Instrument>(instruments);
arg0.setSubscribedInstruments(iset);
arg0.subscribeToBarsFeed(Instrument.EURUSD, Period.TEN_MINS,
OfferSide.ASK, listener);
}

context is stored statically in my application to access the dukascopy system from other parts of my application.
the onBar Method of that listener will then try to submit or close orders and possibly change StopLosses of existing orders. All from within the onBar method.

Could it be a problem with storing the context locally?

Thanks

Moritz

Please provide a full example strategy.

Hi,

I was able to generate a very small program to demonstrate this problem. See attached file.
In this example, the onBar method of the strategy takes the fist open order and tries to change its stoploss level. And this is the output I get.

I added some more output to my onBar method to see what amount the order has. The problem is still there.

I have the following dependencies in my pom.xml.

<dependency>
<groupId>com.dukascopy.dds2</groupId>

I think I found the problem. The maven dependency to jForexClient was causing the trouble.

<groupId>com.dukascopy.dds2</groupId>
<artifactId>JForexClientLibrary</artifactId>
<version>2.17.12</version>

Replacing it with

<dependency>
<groupId>com.dukascopy.dds2</groupId>
<artifactId>DDS2-jClient-JForex</artifactId>
<version>2.24</version>
</dependency>


seems to have helped.
