Hi,

I am coming here from another broker. In they platform it is a "Stop Lose" with "20 pip" and not the price. I know I should do subtract in my head and know what price is the -20 pip, but I still don't like to use my head for sum and subtract, when there is a computer.

Also, I would like to see how much base currency I am losing, if my stop lose will be hitten. It would be nice to have it in percent of my capital to.

since Dukas Eu allows traders with small capitals, which are usually the beginners, if would be very helpful for they.

Maybe the JForex platform it has somewhere hidden this functions, but I didn't found it yet.

This feature will be available in the next generation Jforex platform.

Hi,
Elapsed 10 days from my fist post, the "research start time",
I didn't tested yet, but I think I have found where and what need to modify and add to have the desired result: to have the "next generation platform" most wanted feature. -it is a must for me for live trading.
DD2-jClient-JForex.<version>.jar need to modifyed ( some classes), which isn't open source

There is a description here: https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/ ... -providers.
I don't understand the semi or full layer language, but if I make the changes and I use for myself, than is a problem regarding licenses?

If I replace a few classes or delete from than jar, and in a separate jar I put my desired classes and I make public as my "NextGenerationForexFlatform" at my own hosting server. The software will be free to download and use, but the source not. I have become External Service Provider?
- what need to be done?

"The service providers cannot undertake any brokerage or market making activities in the field of Forex trading." - If I don't take any money for my software patch, is ok?

"The service providers should inform its prospects and clients willing to use the technical/intellectual solution that they have the possibility to open an account with Dukascopy Bank." -exactly the same platform , just a few more textfields are completed automatically, need a whole website to inform the users? At login form it doesn't say anything about Ducascopy, just FX Marketplace and no registration button. I can add a Register button if it solve the problem.

"In case of a technical solution it should be hosted on the partner’s server at its own expense and under its sole and exclusive responsibility." -its ok

"The service provider should be able to provide customer support to its clients with regards to the technical/intellectual solution." - to explain why -20 PIP is the difference between 2 price, or if SL is hitten why will lose X of his base currency? I can explain if somebody needed -should I put a plus About dialog?


"Example of activities applicable to the external service provider definition:
Trading advisory, Algorithmic trading solutions, Trade signals development, Solutions for technical analysis, APIs/bridges for Dukascopy Bank products, regional training and support."
- I think none of them, because I want to modify Ducascopys platform.

Is possible to give the source code to Ducascopy to integrate and make the "next generation" platform to become very soon, as a voluntary work, or should I be employed to Ducas ?

Something like that I would like to have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSzRP_6P7P4 -but the PIP spinner would be nice if it would be enable and editable and it would update the price field and from there the lines in the chart too

it become almost usable for me:

@matheszabi
I saw your video, did you modify the JForex platform in order to have theses entry options ?

Personally I have done the same since about a year but by using a strategy with a swing interface.
I should say I never use the platforms order interface because you always have to calculate your risk
management on a separate sheet, that's annoying.

yes, I am modifying to make it usable.

9.5 The Client acknowledges the electronic nature of the SWFX Marketplace Trading System which shall be provided strictly on "AS IS" and "with all its faults" basis.

I know you don't make mistakes if, you don't work. It is not a problem to have a few, minor mistakes or displaying error, which I have reported at buggs:https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/forex/jforex/forum/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=46791, but here is missing basic, important features.

Ok, I will accept "as is" , but make that platform usable for trader, not only for broker or just for automatized trading!
This is a basic trader need to set the SL in price or PIP TOO, and has instant access to number, how much will you lose on SL hit in your base current and that is how much percent it is of your balance.

Probably many of use have hear to not risk more than 2% / trade, there is plenty of webpages with that.
If I have to enter 1.3258883 and 1.8589874358874 what tell for me those numbers?! I don't want to use alway a separate window, nor do math in my head, that is why I am using a computer, which do math a lot faster than me and a lot more accurate than me-in most cases (1/3*3 it will be 0.99999 and not 1 with computer).

Finally added the Margin call info too.
for take profit - stop lose the calculator works with cross currencies. Eg if your balance is in USD, than if you are trading EUR/JPY than it will convert to USD, and not EUR or JPY
- for margin call I was lazy to do it -only with the same , base currency it is written. (Only 1 currency part I will trade)
The amount ( trade size) if is changed, than need to make a focus change to get observed by calculators.


I didn't get response from Ducascopy for my question if I can share my code or not, but I would give they for free, with pleasure if they would integrate into they system.
IMHO this are "a must" info, before place any order manually.

There are Read Only operations, so it is safe and will not crash / modify existing behavior. In worse case it will display wrong data ( at Margin call and cross currency, or when not refreshed with focus )
