hi,
What's the expected output from Instrument.getPipValue()?
Is the return value in units or millions or what?

I tried this:

package jforex;

import java.util.*;

import com.dukascopy.api.*;

public class Strategy implements IStrategy {
    
    public void onStart(IContext context) throws JFException {
        context.getConsole().getOut().println("For 1M EUR/USD, 1 pip is worth $" + String.format("%8f", Instrument.EURUSD.getPipValue()));
    }

    public void onAccount(IAccount account) throws JFException {    }
    public void onMessage(IMessage message) throws JFException {    }
    public void onStop() throws JFException {    }
    public void onTick(Instrument instrument, ITick tick) throws JFException {    }
    public void onBar(Instrument instrument, Period period, IBar askBar, IBar bidBar) throws JFException {    }
}

And get the result:

10:13:18 For 1M EUR/USD, 1 pip is worth $0.000100

I expected an answer of approx $75

cheers,

It's the price value not the amount - it is either 0.01 or 0.0001.
Have a look at the following:
https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#JForex_utils/Conversion_of_pip_cost

JFUtil.convertPipToCurrency() didn't seem to reliably give me the result I wanted either.
However, this works for me:

        Instrument ins = Instrument.EURUSD;
        ITick lastTick = context.getHistory().getLastTick(ins);
        double midPrice = (lastTick.getAsk() + lastTick.getBid()) / 2.0;
        double amount = 1000000.0;
        
        double pipCost = (1.0 / midPrice * ins.getPipValue()) * amount;
        
        context.getConsole().getOut().println(String.format("At position size %.0f, 1 pip of %s is worth %s %.6f", amount, ins.toString(), ins.getPrimaryCurrency(), pipCost));

Output:

15:44:24 At position size 1000000, 1 pip of EUR/USD is worth EUR 75.341485

Many thanks for your help
