In JBT, you don't place orders, it's done for you by the framework. This
relieves the JBT user of the necessity to keep track of orders and
executions. Instead, your strategy code simply indicates the conditions when
to enter long and short. Example:
if (tension >= entry) {
setPosition(1);
}
In this sample code, the strategy says, "if my indicator called "tension"
reaches some extreme value, I want to go long 1 contract". Since this is a
market order, it's guaranteed to execute (typically within 100ms to 500ms,
depending on your network speed). When the order is executed, the
notification is sent to the strategy, so it knows that it's now 1 contract
long. Again, this is all isolated from you as a user, and you don't need to
understand how it's done, unless you are thinking of changing the mechanics
of this. There is however a reporting mechanism. When JBT runs in either
trading, forward-testing, or backtesting modes, it generates a detailed
report with all the trades information. Look in your /report directory.

In the "traditional" trading, you look at the chart and make a decision to
buy or sell. In the JBT world, your strategy decides to buy or sell, and at
the end of the day, you look at the chart to see what happened. That is,
charts are only used for "post-trading" analysis. To see the chart, run any
strategy in a backtest mode, then right click on the strategy and select
"Chart".
