Eugene Sorry for the newbie questions . My understanding is that Indicator prior values get reset whenever JBookTrader starts. I read that you set the allowed starting time for trading to 1 hour after JBookTrader startup, to allow the indicators to stabilize, also that in your style of trading you turn off and restart JbookTrader every day. However how do you run the optimizer/backtester? Do you append together into a big file all your daily data, so it is one whole file for a year or so? If so, how do you handle the emulation of the shutoff and restart of trading in the optimizer and backtester (as it affects the indicator reset)? Does it run continuously as if JBookTrader was never shut off?. In that case, does the optimizer/backtester also restart all the indicators every day and wait one hour to simulate live testing? Or for those people that run continuously, is there a setting to tell the indicators not to reset? How can you tell the different trading styles from the historical data file? My other question is kind of general. Suppose one wanted to use an indicator already calculated and provided by TWS. such as a price SMA etc. and it can provide historical data on it. Can it be downloaded by JbookTrader? Wouldn't one want to use it instead of recreating the indicator in JbookTrader, in order to avoid the indicator resetting and having to leave Jbooktrader on for weeks/months at the time in order to calculate it? For a slow moving average, I understand that the data would not be in 1 sec increments, but one could conceivably resample or zero order hold the lower resolution Indicator data in order to use it. I am trying to catch up with your extensive work and that of everyone else here. Thanks, AV
