[analyzes, programming, strategies, forex robots, indicators, API, Java, Eclipse, jfx2java,, Metatrader, MQL, MQ4, EX4, CQG, WebApi, FixApi, futures, commodities, options, indices, shares, spreads]
For starting JForexRobot strategies is required 64-bit operating system with at least 4GB of RAM . Also it is necessary to have installed the latest version of 64-bit Java . When the higher number of strategies is used, it may be necessary to 8GB RAM. Standalone application JForexRobot has a smaller RAM requirements than individual jfx strategies loaded into JForex platform.
For using single strategies (*.jfx files)
You need to run JForex platform with more memory allocated.
If you install the JForex platform locally, you can change the amount of memory in the settings and you don't need my JForexLauncher:
For this purpose use additional applications JForexLauncher.jar
Click on name and download to desktop. For the experienced user,
the application can be used from the command line with predefined parameters, example: "JForexLauncher.jar LIVE 4g".
If the platform is starting and is downloading a new version of the platform,
it is necessary to close the Dukascopy login dialog and run the JForexLauncher again.
As an input parameter should be set only "Amount" value. If a positive value is used, the value is taken as a percentage of the size of the account. For example if the account is 5000 and the input value is 100 (%), then will be opened positions of amount 5000 (0,005 lots). If a negative value is used, this value is taken as the absolute size. For example with -7000 input will be opened positions with the size of amount 7000 (0,007 lots). Amounts are in the currency of the account.
Jfx strategies can not use Remote run in JForex platform. Only Local run is possible.
Backtests
Current backtests of strategies are available in the form of graphs for each strategy. There you will find all the necessary information, the maximum drawdown, number of trades, totals gains, losses, etc. In order for the strategies evaluation, balance and comparison, all the results are in pips. For backtests I use my own software Jaga and I am able to get the results of all strategies over tens of minutes. In JForex platform, the results of all the strategy worked well for several weeks. This rate is, of course, compensated by some inaccuracies, but it does not reach more than percent units, and compared with the speed is extremely low price without prejudice to the application of the results.
But you can (respectively you should) make your own backtest, you can set your size of positions that suit you. Here I must give you technical information. Because some of the strategies used by up to 28 pairs, JForex platform in this case is very demanding on memory (8 GB). Furthermore, how many ticks do you think contains 28 pairs from 2007 to 2014? It is about 100 gigabytes of data that must JForex platform from Dukascopy servers download. It can take up to several days, depending on your Internet connection. And finally the backtest as much data (28 pairs since 2007) takes around 8 hours.
What to do before you start the backtest: After opening the platform, right-click in the left sidebar in the "Workplace" to tree menu "Strategies" and select "Open". List to the desired file jfx and open it. Right-click on the added "strategy name" and choose "Test". In the right part of the screen will pop up a new tab "Historical Tester". Check the "Show Messages" checkbox, this option will print messages on the screen to reveal a potential problem. Click the "Instruments" button and check all the pairs that requires strategy. Click on the button with "Play" icon.
For using standalone application (JForexRobot.jar file)
After logging on to Dukascopy server, you must change the "Annual return" (%) value to the desired value. Not more than 50 % is initially recommended. It is also necessary to check that DEF.LOT calculated values are not less than 0.001 or rather than 0.005. If there are smaller amounts, it may not be all trades properly balanced. It depends on account balance and required yearly profit. For small accounts can not be done right balance of strategies.
Use the check boxes you can enable / disable specific strategy. Changing the Amount field to change the weight of each strategy.
General principles
If the strategy does not receive a tick more than 5 minutes strategy write warning message into panel. Over the weekend, it's normal when no tick is received. But during the week it may indicate a failure Dukascopy server or strategy.
After the restart strategy or platform, you must determine whether the strategies are controled open trades. After restart, all strategies trying to find opened positions in the market and strategies trying to take control over the opened positions. Not always it is possible to connect to an opened positions. In this case, the strategy shows a red message "ORDER [label] IS NOT UNDER CONTROL". The user must take over these positions control and manually control them and/or close them. Similarly, if the robots do not run, you must opened positions either close or take control over them.
With the higher percentage of yearly profit is also good to have more leverage enabled on the account, for example 1:200 or 1:300. It is because over weekend leverage is decreased from 1:100 to 1:30. But the lever 1:200 is reduced only to 1:60. In case of exceeding weekend lever then Dukascopy opens hedge transactions and the situation needs to be addressed manually with merge and closing or control the current positions. Exceeding the lever can also occur if the annual return setting is too high!
Over the weekend Dukascopy cares about their servers. You may experience unexpected outages. It is always necessary to carefully check the robots after the weekend, when the forex market opens. Restart strategies before the market opens is recommended.
To protect strategies and clients, including You, the strategy every time you start it make online activation to obtain the permissions to run on the basis of license conditions, such as user's public mask and/or account name and/or hardware. Public static IP address is an advantage. Over the weekend may perform maintenance of license servers and in this case, the robots does not have to run for a short time over the weekend.
Disclaimer
JForexRobot does not have backup solution as well as technical difficulties may arise in both the server and client side. A user must supervise the work of robots and in case of technical difficulties intervene and take control of the situation. The user must use JForexRobot strategies or JForexRobot software solely on their own decision and at his own risk and the author of JForexRobot is not liable for any losses. Past performance or actual performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
