Hi guys,

Hands down, great achievement to allow us to build strategies in vJForex supporting multiple currencies, thank you.

I tried the instructions above and been able to only add one additional currency. even if I changed the name of the variable, Questions:

1. Obviously is something I'm not doing right, can you please provide more feedback - when I try to add variable Currency2, Curency1 is replace with Currency2, so I can only add another one.
2. Is there a limit to the number of additional currencies that can be added, and if so- what is that limit ?

Thank you
Virgil

You can add so many Currencies as you want. Replacing Instruments Variables make sense in appropriate blocks.

No any limit, but with additional currencies - the strategy will be more slowly running, what is critical for Historical Tester.

Hi,

Multi-instruments strategies really depends on the strategy idea and specifications. Take a look at this post: https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english ... ent#p87825

In case your idea is dealing with cross instrument logic then you need to implement that following the attached example.

If it is simply the same same idea replicated on several instruments, I suggest to build the main idea on a single instrument then switch it when you'll run. You can also use many strategies each one dealing with a given instrument for instance (which is much more efficient in terms of monitoring, optimization and data load)

Cheers!
