Hi there,

Im new to Dukas and VJF but worked a lot with MT before. Now when Im on my way over I wonder how to work with news triggers in VJF. E.g. for some strategies I want to ensure full tradestop before and after mayor news releases on any of the two currencies in the currency pair being traded and on others I might want to setup news trading strategies where I want to create pending orders depending on up and coming news. On MT I get such data from ForexFactory but guess Dukas has their own reliable calendar?

Also, does Dukas keep news history? I would like to be able to do backtesting based on news triggers back in time.

Possibly quite complex question but I find it natural always to include news events in my strategies as they often have the greatest impact on any of them.

Hi and welcome to Visual Jforex !

Regarding the news calendar, we offer our own calendar available is Jforex platform when clicking on News menu > Live Economic Calendar. Such news events are not implemented dynamically in Visual Jforex platform so to consider this in your strategy, you have to input the related Date & Time as conditions for your pending orders.
News history events are not really stored but indeed their impact on the market can be seen on the charts, so when testing a strategy on a specific period of time, you can see the market movements obviously. I also recommend you to check our web platform which implement a nice tool in this regard: The display of the news event on the chart:

Cheers

Would it be possible to implement in the future or would it be possible to build an API towards an external source? I do not understand how anyone dares to place automatated orders without such functionality?

Hi,

This feature is not unfortunately not planned for the time being, but it doesn't really stop you form developing your idea. I've seen users implement time conditions when consistent news might have effect on the market and hold their strategies form trading then resume the activity.

It has some limitation: position will not be closed if minutes are 00. But good for the purpose to close all position in advance. For example if Payroll at 12:30 , input your close time at 12:29 and it will be closed.
