To Dukascopy Forex Support,

I am coding a strategy. I wanted to save the market level at which the strategy opens a trade in a variable. For example, if the strategy takes up a BUY trade for EURUSD at 1.3200, I want to save that value in a variable. Also, I wanted to save another value which is +/- 25 pips to 1.3200 in another variable. Please tell me how to do that.

Thanks. :)

Jimmy.

double price = 1.3200 - Instrument.EURUSD.getPipValue() * 25;

When I define the value at which the trade is opened as

double value = getOpenPrice();

there is an error

The method getOpenPrice() is undefined for the type Strategy.

Do I need to define something else as well first?

The method is IOrder.getOpenPrice and it gets applied to an IOrder object.

You need either to create or retrieve the order.
