Dukascopy Plugin

Dukascopy is a Swiss bank and ECN broker with a Java-based API. The Dukascopy plugin was developed by Jürgen Reiss and supports Forex trading on demo and real accounts.

The Dukascopy plugin is not included in the Zorro distribution. Get the plugin from Github and also install the Java Development Kit:

• Download and install the plugin - dzjforex-0.9.6.zip or newer - from https://github.com/juxeii/dztools. The DLL and the dukascopy folder both go into your Plugin directory.
  
• Download and install the latest 32-bit Java JDK from Oracle. Make sure that it is the 32-bit version (x86 suffix) since the plugin DLL is a 32-bit library, and that the folder path contains no spaces. In case you already have a recent 32-bit JDK installation you might skip this step.
   
• Add the \jre\bin and the \jre\bin\client folders to the front of your Path environment variable (here is a howto). Your Path environment variable should now begin like this:
  C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\jre\bin;
  C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\jre\bin\client;
  ... further paths ...
   
• Start Zorro. Make sure that you now can select Dukascopy from the [Account] scrollbox.
