This is my first attempt, I didn't run this on demo yet (just on tester).

here are some blocks:

public void onMessage(IMessage message) throws JFException {
        CurrentContext.getConsole().getNotif().println(message.getContent());  
        if (message.getType()==IMessage.Type.SENDING_ORDER)
          {
             CurrentContext.getConsole().getNotif().println("SENDING ORDER");   
          }
        
    } 

CurrentContext is defined as

private IContext CurrentContext = null; 

and receives value in OnStart:

CurrentContext = context; 

far down in the code there is:

        try { 
               CurrentContext.getConsole().getNotif().println("before try");
               IOrder order = CurrentContext.getEngine().submitOrder(commBuy, Instr, IEngine.OrderCommand.BUY, defaultAmount); 
               CurrentContext.getConsole().getNotif().println("tried");   }
         catch (JFException e) {e.printStackTrace();} 

What I get as message is just "before try". It doesn't reach "tried" and there is no SENDING ORDER or other kind of message. Why this?

Hi:

That seems some problem with your order parameters... is commBuy a string ? is instr assigned as instrument ? and default amount as double and a valid value ?

The order is created ?

Mmm, now I see the mistakes. commBuy had an invalid character in it. After I corrected, I saw orders sent and mistakes reported...

Solved it.

I have some questions:
1. Does this work in position-style (MT5) or order-style (MT4) ? How do I switch between styles? (I want order-style)
2. How do I set orders to have just stop loss, but no take profit ?
3. How do I delete pending orders?
4. How do I update stop loss/take profit?
5. The amount in millions is in millions of the first currency in the pair or in millions of the account currency?

Hi:

1 - Not know about mt4/5 but i think that is order style.
2 - you have two choices: at order creation with the correct parameters but you need to set a valid take profit also, or later with order.setStopLoss();
see - https://www.dukascopy.com/client/javadoc ... ang.String, com.dukascopy.api.Instrument, com.dukascopy.api.IEngine.OrderCommand, double, double, double, double, double)
and
https://www.dukascopy.com/client/javadoc ... ice(double)

3 - close the pending order - order.close();

4 - same as 2 (2ª choice) for stop loss or take profit

5 - Amount on primary currency - see https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Order_Amounts

Thank you very much! Made huge progress in just 2 days!

Go through the following wiki section, every concept is supplied with example strategies, see:

See: https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Set_Stop_Loss_price
by calling IOrder.close on IOrder.State.OPENED orders, see: https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Close_Orders
