Additions to Marcus notes: 1. The names of parameters in your trading strategy is arbitrary (i.e. it can be anything)
2. With regards to the sample strategy included with JBT, a) "Period" refers to the period of time in seconds, used for exponential averages b) "Scale" refers to a multiplier to bring a particular measure into a desired range c) "Entry" is the trade entry threshold d) "Exit" is the trade exit threshold I suppose I could add another "classic" strategy, such as EMA cross, for demonstration purposes.
