Demo account has very limited functionality. You should try paper trading account instead. It will work just fine with JBT. Also, if you doing backtesting or forward testing, you can also the real account without any damage. No actual trades will occur in either back- or forward-test. > > 2.

Until then, you can create your own sample by simply running JBT in the forward test. While the test is running, JBT records market data in the file in the /marketdata directory. You can subsequently use this file for backtesting and optimizations directly, without any modifications. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
