12.7 times faster? On the same box? > My question: Is it possible to run live trading from shell script and > command prompt without java GUI Yes, it's certainly possible, with some code modifications. However, I'd note two things: 1. In the forward test and trade modes, JBT consumes very little memory and CPU. You can run dozens of strategies simultaneously without any degradation in performance. I doubt that you would see much improvement by running without the GUI. 2. What's really slow is backtesting (because it needs to deal with huge data files with millions of data points and keep the chart data in memory) and optimization (because the optimizer permutates through a large number of parameters). If your optimizer runs 12.7 times faster on FreeBSD, there is certainly a value. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
