I have been programming EA's with MT4/MQL for about 4 years now, and have taken a C++ 101 class in college, so I have some understanding of how to code things, but Java and OOP are new to me.

I have downloaded and installed Netbeans. I also downloaded the JForex client library zip, extracted it, and imported it into Netbeans, then saved the project to a new folder on my desktop.

I see the MA_play strategy "comes with" the jforex client library. I believe I know enough about coding to adapt this and make my own strategy out of this file. But then, what all do I have to put in C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\JForex\Strategies? Do I have to put the whole folder in there? The whole project with the src folder and the libraries folder and everything they contain. Or is all I have to bring over the MA_play.java file? (assuming I don't use any other imports or libraries)

And will it still work right if I rename the java file to something else by simply right clicking on it in windows explorer an renaming it?

Well I swapped out the text in MA_play with my own strategy. Then I right clicked on the MA_Play file in netbeans project explorer, changed the name, and then clicked on "refactor"

Now I get this error on this line:

public class WanderingJava implements IStrategy
{

error: singlejartest.WanderingJava is not abstract and does not override abstract method onStop() in com.dukascopy.api.IStrategy


I have no idea what that means or how to fix it.

Advice?

hi,
you just need to implement the method onStop.
It would look like:
