Hi,

I am going to test a strategy in a custom separate Java app using JForex API.
It appears I should use ITester.startStrategy, etc according to API.
However some pre-questions appears:
- is ITester.startStrategy() blocking ?, eg. the method waits until the strategy finish to do its job
- how do I know the strategy results, eg. profit, number of orders, etc. I see there is an option
to write report into a file but I suppose there is no need to load that file and parse it without a clear documentation.
- how do I configure the tester, eg. Tick mode, (every tick, Tick on M5 open, selected instruments)

Thank you

Hi,
The startStrategy is a synchronized method, if you need you can do some operations after the startStrategy method in a you test class.
To know the strategy result you can use the createReport(long processId, File file) method.
To configure tester to use specific period, please use the setDataInterval method.

Maybe you will find the following JForex Wiki article usefull: https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/index.php ... in_Eclipse You can look at the TesterMain class example.
