Ability to stop forward-testing or trading one strategy without affecting other strategies #2

Open mkoistinen opened 8 years ago

Currently, you can set any number of strategies forward testing or trading, but you cannot stop one of them without stopping all of them.

(originally by eugene.kononov) This has been suggested before. In fact, it has already been implemented in the separate branch maintained by Florent: https://code.google.com/p/jbooktrader/source/browse/#svn/branches/jbooktrader-fg This "quasi-private" JBT build has been maintained by Florent and has some other "bells" and "whistles" which I didn't think belong to mainstream release.

Regarding the stopping of the strategies, my view is that it's at odds with the very essence of JBT, which is automated, unsupervised, algorithmic trading. There are also technical issues. We can discuss this further, however, if you create a topic in the discussion group.
