Ok folks, all my changes are in SVN. In addition to using a new type of > average to represent the 1-second depth balances, I've also introduced an > NTP timer. Basically, this means that Strategy runner is now driven by > atomic clock, which should put us all on the same page. This should also > make it much easier to compare our data files in case of discrepancies. You > don't have to run any external time sync software. > > Before I roll this stuff into next release, I'd like to run a multi-user > test on Monday. If you'd like to participate, please follow these steps: > > 1. Sync your code with SVN. Don't forget to grab a new jar from the /lib > directory (commons-net-2.0.jar), and to update your JBT startup script. > > 2. On Monday, Aug 24, start JBT any time before 8am EDT, and run strategy > Test (it's also in SVN) in the "forward test" mode. As a reminder, no actual > trade orders would be transmitted in the "forward test", and you should use > a real (not simulated) IB account. The parameters for Test are set to make a > significant enough number of trades (I estimate it would be around 10), so > that our differences, if any, would be amplified. I am not concerned with > profitability for this test, only with consistency between multiple users. > > 3. Any time after 15:25 EDT, please report your results (number of trades > and net profit). > > We need as many people as we can get for this test, so please participate. >
I found that I was not using NTPUDPClient correctly. The fix is in SVN, so please re-sync if you are participating in Monday's test. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
