Alexana, There is already a "back door" in JBT which allows you to access a given strategy's indicators and market book from another strategy:
TraderAssistant traderAssitant = Dispatcher.getInstance().getTrader().getAssistant(); with the traderAssitant object, you can get access to all running strategies: traderAssitant.getAllMarketBooks() traderAssitant.getAllStrategies() This will work, but I don't recommend it, as this is really a hack which violates one of the JBT design principle of strategies independence. For your purposes, it may do the job, although you still will not be able to backtest and optimize since you'd be introducing the dependencies between the strategies. My advice to you is the same as I gave you before: you should be using JArbitrager, which is specifically designed for what you are attempting to accomplish.
