Yes, it does make sense, as it prevents JBT from trying to load non-
strategy files. This will be in the next release, thanks.

The data in this file has been purchased from the CME for about $4800,
paid with the JBT project funds, contributed by folks like you. For
those who are interested in accessing this data set, I am asking for a
$400 contribution to the project, so that we can continue to purchase
the data.

Here is the contribution page: 
http://groups.google.com/group/jbooktrader/web/donate-to-project

Alternatively, you can use a short prerecorded dataset free of charge:
http://jbooktrader.googlecode.com/files/ES-January2009.zip

Finally, you can use JBT to record the data for your own security/
symbol. Each time you run JBT in either "forward test" or "trade"
mode, JBT records market data in the /marketData directory.
Subsequently, this data can be used for backtesting and optimization
in JBT.
