Eugene, do you have by any chance class and sequence diagrams for either JBT or JArbitrager that you could post?

Each strategy has its own parameters and its own P&L. The main difference is that the buy / sell signal is based on the price of another instrument, instead of price or book or volume of the present instrument. Of course the strategies are no longer independent. As such, they can not be used for portfolio diversification. Do you see any other problems that could result from the lack of independence? Can the backtest still be done if both strategies are run simultaneously? I would love to use JArbitrager, but it had some bugs when I tried to use it and I do not think I have enough understanding of the platform to be able to maintain it. ________________________________ From: nonlinear <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, February 24, 2011 8:03:27 AM Subject: Re: [JBookTrader] Poll for new features 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.
