Post subject: | import strategies |
hi guys, I would like to import and back test other strategies but I don't know how to do it. For instance I downloaded the strategy of user "traderlink" and it is downloaded in txt.java. How can I import it and make it work ? regards |

Hi, my strategy disappeared from the platform and i cannot readd it. Did this happen because i started my strategy, stopped it later and recompiled it without configurables? But it has not traded yet. ![]() |

dav4me - It's pretty easy: - open a demo account (register, receive the email with log-in info, log in to the demo account) - save someone's strategy where you can find it again (e.g. desktop) - you want to save the *.java file. - in the bottom left corner of demo account, right click on "Strategies" then click "Open Strategy". This can be hard to find when the market isn't open - you may have to change screen resolution or pull the "Workspace" box upward - it's located just below the "Market Depth" chart) - navigate to, and then open, the *.java strategy you previously saved (e.g. on the desktop). - once it is open (the name will show up in bottom left corner of demo account GUI), right click on the name and click "Compile". - after a little bit in the "Messages" tab to the right you will see a message that says "Compilation Successful..." If it turns red and gives you error messages, you'll have to resolve the errors before it will compile successfully. Search the forum for help to any errors. - Once it compiles successfully, now right click on the name again (still in the lower left corner of the demo account GUI) and click "Test" - the Historical Tester tab will pop up. - simply set your parameters (make sure the currency pair you select in the tester matches up with the currency pair used in the strategy), and click the start button in the lower right corner of the demo account GUI (you may have to scroll down, or pull the historical tester tab upward to see the start button, depending on your screen resolution). That's it - have fun! |

Perhaps, the strategy is not running? You can log into the platform and check the status of your strategy. If the strategy is not running, simply restart it again. We are currently working on proving a solution for logs. 2. Imports are allowed but you can import packages from external jar files. They are not allowed for use in the contest. |

If the slippage is too tight, it can. But not with every order of course. Try to verify all condition to make sure that the order is triggered and send to the server. |

I cannot figure out how to stop and restart the strategy...can you please tell me how |

The strategy was made public on 30th April. Bonus points are based on strategy declaration. The strategy status says executed. Contestants have no control over the strategy once started (running), they can only choose to load another version and run. |

Post subject: | historical tester versus contest results |
Hello: I have noticed that independent of the period the strategy is using the results I get from the contest execution only match the results on historical tester only if run with tick period. For instance if your strategy runs Period.one_min and compare the results from your testing to the ones you get on the contest they won't match. One of the things is whatever take profit you have in your strategy the Take profit in the report will be always superior. One way I found to obtain results in historical tester which are as much as close to those in the contest is running to test the strategy with tick periods regardless of your strategy is on one_min, one_hour, ... This way if not the same very similar results. Anyone noticed this behavior or would like to share his thoughs on this ? Thank you, Regards, cyberalgo |

Yes, You should only use the historical tester with tick periods. You can't trust results with other periods. |
