ability to start backtest from junit? #10

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
hi,

is it possible to develop strategies in eclispe and start backtests via junit 
or a standalone client, like it is possible in JForex from Dukascopy? This is 
supposed to work without the GUI.

See: http://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#JForex_SDK/Running_strategies

If this is possible, I would be very interested in trying to implement 
trade-manager as a new backend for my own platform-neutral strategy api.

Best regards,
Edwin

Yes you can but you still need an IB account to get the data.

Why not just use JForex ? As it seems to do what you want and is an SDK?

Thanks
Simon

JForex is only for the Forex market. You can't trade stocks with it. And yes, I 
already have a backend for JForex.

Though I noticed trade-manager is licenced under GPL, so I would be unable to 
use trade-manager as a backend for my api, since for now it stays private only. 
I would need something like LGPL to use it or opensource my whole platform. :/
