Hi Judson, Thanks for jumping in.
To start, I just want to change the sample strategy to work with AAPL book data and then run JBookTrader in forward test mode on that sample StrategyAAPL to see how it does. Then, try the optimize mode on the results and see what happens after optimization with more forward testing. Basically, I want to take it for a test drive on AAPL data. I've been looking at the files in eclipse and I see "Sample.java" in the .strategy folder. But, I also see several other symbols in the .strategy.base folder and I wonder if I should editing those instead of Sample.java, or both. StrategySPY.java and StrategyQQQ.java have parameters that better match AAPL's. But, I don't see the same code in these files. They don't seem to have their own strategy but instead build on the ES strategy, but I don't really understand it all. Eugene had said "make a copy of the sample strategy, change a few things, recompile, and run" to do this. But I'm not sure of which file I should edit: one the other or both a .strategy and a strategy .base. Also, I don't really know jack about java editing and recompiling. I've managed to create a new .strategy file, copy and paste code from StrategyQQQ.java, change the symbol to AAPL and changed the time settings in the code to RTH, but I don't know for sure if I'm doing it right or not. In general, I have lots of ideas for analyzing book data. Now, I'm just trying to too see what can be done, or at least what I can do, with JBookTrader.
