I just made a few experiments and wanted to report here on the results. Also some issues came up for which I am looking for a solution.
Background: I have an "old" PC and a MacBook. I wanted to set up Jbooktrader on this and also compare the runtime of different configurations. I installed Eclipse(Helios) on MacOS and in my BootCamp partition (MacOS64 Cacoa vs. Win64 versions respectively on respective Java). On this I installed subclipse and then got the most recent version of JBookTrader. After some experiments I got it to run under under both Windows7 and MacOS. I also tried to set it up similarly on the old PC. Due to problems with subclipse, I did a clean install of Eclipse and set up an new project with the synchronized JBookTrader (a second JBookTrader project with which I used to work exists in the repository). So, the installation should be completely comparable. Experiments where done with: Strategy: SecondNature, Divide and Conquer, Profit Factor Optimization. The dataset was downloaded fresh from the website in all installations and I checked that Advanced optimization set up is the same. Now comes the weird part: on MacOS and Mac-Windows it starts and says, it will have to test 640 strategies (of course this changes slightly over time). Not so on my PC. It starts with 2401 strategies??? I cross-checked everything, I could find, but I did not find the reason for this. Is there a way how the configuration data from the other project influences the strategy selection (in a way not visible in the GUI)?? This is my issue No. 1 (and the major one). Issue 2: the MacOS installation guide is completely outdated. I would propose to remove it, as the misguiding information actually costs a lot of extra effort (it simply does not work as described). - On the other hand, if you work on it in a straightforward way, it is easy to set everything up. Issue 3: when doing the optimizations, close to the end the progress bar went beyond 100% - this is kind of weird, but not a major problem. Cheers Klaus PS: if you are interested in the results (everything with -server switch) MacOS 291 sec Windows (bootcamp) 277 sec Windows (parallels) 296 sec your mileage may vary. as a result always the best strategy has 5878 profit My old PC probably a lot slower, but unsure how much, due to issue 1.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
