I see that getProfitLossInAccountCurrency() has been implemented in IOrder for 2.6.4. Thanks a lot!

However, there is no function to get the value (in account currency) per pip for an instrument. I would like get what is the value (in acct $) per pip of an instrument before placing an order. So that I can calculate my $ risk in acct currency, etc.

Did you get answer to this?

Hi,
this will be added in a near future.

has this been implemented yet? I don't see it in Instrument in 2.6.18 javadoc

It is not implemented yet, but you can consider the following JForex Wiki page https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/index.php ... t_currency

the conversion algorithm on the wiki seem to be missing some steps for the case of USD is a secondary (missing check if USD is base or counter currency in pair, for multiplication or division) and the last in which USD is not in instrument, then you need to do this recursively (i.e. USD is now secondary).

Hi all

I get error messages when I use the calculate function from https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/index.php ... t_currency.

Error @ this line:

       
          else if (instrument.getSecondaryCurrency().equals(USD)) {
                    transitionalInstrument = pairs.get(account.getCurrency());
                    transitionalPrice = history.getLastTick(transitionalInstrument).getBid(); //In this line I get a NullPointerException
                    profit = profitInInitialCurrncy * transitionalPrice ;
                    System.out.println("Profit: " + profit);
                    // Secondary instrument is not USD, must convert to USD, then to Account currency
   }

My account currency is CHF and I tried this example with GBPUSD. But I think, the strategy doesn't get the ticks from GBPUSD. Why?

And what does

       Set<Instrument> instruments = new HashSet<Instrument>();
                instruments.add(Instrument.EURUSD);

mean in Main.java?

Thanks for help
