You remember correctly. > So I'm wondering what effective > ways of using jbooktrader are. 1- You reccord data 2- You write strategies that you test (backtest/optimisation) against the data you recorded. > Do you trade not more than three > securities? I do not trade more than 0 security for the moment. If you find three profitable strategies on three different securities, you'll have worked a lot. > Do you constantly switch the securities you are following > as market conditions dictate? Not really, for my part, it's more like : if the market conditions are normal, then it's ok to start JBT live eith my best strategy. > Do you get data from another source? > CME sells data if you're interested, but the best cheap way is to record the data yourself. > I'm curious if there is any agreement on these points or if there are > a variety of answers based on the strategy you are using. Thanks. I would be curious to know where everybody's at too. Have you guys been trading or on the side line? Have you been able to trust JBT and let it trade or you interfere with it? I haven't been trading live for a long time. -- Gab --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
