I am testing: - JBookTrader-7.02.zip - IB Trader Workstation Build 994.4 May 6 2009 with Demo mode
The documentation is quite sufficient for me to get the program running. I am checking Forward Test feature with Simple strategy on ES. I realize, real time data is not loaded into JBookTrader at all? Tracing the source code, I think nobody is calling, com.jbooktrader.trader.TraderAssistant.requestMarketData( ) Hence IB TWS API will not call back: com.jbooktrader.trader.Trader.updateMktDepth( ) Also nobody in the Framework is calling: com.jbooktrader.strategy.Simple.onBookChange( ) So Forward Test feature doesn't perform anything. In fact, similar behavior is happening in JSystemTrader as well. com.jsystemtrader.platform.strategy.StrategyRunner.getRealTimeBars( ) is not called to load real time data. I wonder, is the project purposely being released with Forward Test disabled?So none software developer will not accidentally use it against live trading. Or my understanding of the source code is wrong? How do I do to make Forward Test function correctly? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
