I would like to ask you if it is possible to start a strategy and then stop receiving rates as i want to use a different rate provider. I am trying

FeedDataProvider.getDefaultInstance().disconnected();

with no success and if i try a

FeedDataProvider.getDefaultInstance().close();

then i get several exceptions

We only support JForex-API methods. Moreover, please don't use any non-JForex-API classes from the JForex-SDK project, as they are subject to be changed or removed.

Is there a JForex-API method that i can do this? I dont think i have seen something like that in the wiki.

You have two options:

• Don't subscribe the particular instruments before the strategy start (i.e., don't call IClient.setSubscribedInstruments). But in this case you won't be able to trade that instrument, access its historical data and calculate indicators on its feed.
• Ignore the ticks which you receive and construct them from your own data. You can also , for example, calculate indicators on your own values, see https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Indicator_Calculation/Calculate_indicator_on_array

First of all thanks for your prompt replies! The think is that i dont want to get any ticks. I know that i can ignore them, but i wouldn't like to receive them but i want to be able to trade(so the first solution cannot be applied here).

The best you can do is ignoring them.
