    yes - because my main java program operates on an hourly basis and it is NOT receiving a message from Computer 2

    I probably have errors in the code on both sides at the moment but one main problem is that a message is NOT being sent from Computer 2 (Client Socket)

    Be sure to close the open socket before trying to open another one.

    Have you tested the code using the local host address? If the code works on one PC then the problem could be with firewalls and routers.

    My understanding is that if a message was successfully received by Computer 1, then the socket would be closed

    Thus my prime problem is:- why does the code on Computer 2 (client) not send a message ?

    I do not understand you...........

    Both PC's are local ?

    Does the calling code on the Client side look OK ?

    By local I mean that the server and client programs execute on the same (and only) PC using the localhost IP address: 127.0.0.1

    Does the calling code on the Client side look OK ?
    Hard to say.
    Make a small, complete program that compiles and can be executed for testing.

    In the calling code on the Client computer (No.2)
    do I need to replace "localhost" with the IP address of Computer 1 ?

    Bob M

    p.s. have just replaced an ethernet cable - now both computers are on the same network

    --- Update ---

    Client - no error

    Server error: (hourly)
    SocketServer exception occurred: java.net.NullPointerException

    java.net.NullPointerException
    You need the full stack trace to see where that exception happened.

    do I need to replace "localhost" with the IP address
    Yes

    Do the programs work with the localhost address when the server and client code are executed on the same PC?

    I believe the following calling code from my main java program is incorrect

    // initialise and start our thread
    NewThread t = new NewThread();
    t.start();

    // setup socket connection on new background thread (to receive trading decision from Computer 2)
    try {
    SocketServer server = new SocketServer(9876);
    server.start(); - stack trace points to this line as being in error - null exception
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
    myConsole.getOut().println("SocketServer exception occured: " + e);
    e.printStackTrace();
    }

    the full stack trace
    It is missing the first line(s) that gives the type of exception.

    2019-06-18 23:00:03 at my_strategies.us_copiosus_GBPAUD_1010$SocketServer .start(us_copiosus_GBPAUD_1010.java:1720)
    2019-06-18 23:00:03 java.lang.NullPointerException
    What variable on line 1720 has the null value? Backtrack in the code to see why.

    Please answer this question:
    Do the programs work with the localhost address when the server and client code are executed on the same PC?

    I believe the following calling code
    Please wrap ALL posted code in code tags.

    code from my main java program is incorrect
    What do you think is incorrect?

    The first line is NOT missing

    there is no variable on line 1720

    that line is

    server.start();

    there is no variable on line 1720
    that line is
    server.start();
    server is a variable. It should be reference to a class with the method start().

    The first line is NOT missing
    On all exception messages I've seen, the lines starting with at are not on the first line. The first line does not begin with at ...

    the stack trace needs to be read from the bottom upwards - see the time stamps

    Strange. I've never seen console output in reverse order. Usually the top is the oldest and the bottom the youngest.
