I'm starting my journey with Dukascopy and I've my initial doubts to solve in order to have an happy start in Eclipse.

Questions:
1) I tried to debug the strategy, with no success: I'm able to debug step by step the Main class (launcher) but not to register to the inner strategy. Pls can you provide me some hints?

2) I seen that backtesting is generally slow. I think is mandatory to have the possibility to test strategies running your framework on top of your "Historical Data Manager" output (.csv?)

3) I'll like to use Eclipse in order to test (back test) my strategies and to build more complex projects/applications jar that enable me to write my own library of components to reuse and so on. In a "classical" java prj I know how to do that, but with with your framework I've no sufficient infos. Pls provide me further details about optimizing projects and strategies (running with a combination of params like in the web platforms) and how to build a "jar" jfx that is composed by different classes.

Please give me a many details is possible.
Thanks

Hi gaku!

1) Make sure that "skip all breakpoints" button isn't pressed, you've put breakpoint in one of your strategy's methods and run the application in debug mode.
2) You can run historical testing using Standalone API's ITesterClient, see TestMain example in SDK project and this wiki page: https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#ITesterC ... ctionality.
3) There is no any guidelines how to develop Standalone API projects, so it's up to you how your project will be designed. If you want to develop a strategy that uses other libraries, then see this article: https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Include_libraries

Historical tester does not work offline.
There is an option to export the data using Tools > Historical Data Manager.

I seen that and think that's a huge limitation in your platform, maybe the biggest
