| Post subject: | Question on local history cache |
I use third-party software to download history data (.bi5) in the hope of speed up the testing process. I did not put them in the same folder with Jforex's folder but in C:\temp. However, i discovered that when i run history tester using Netbeans, it will delete all the data i downloaded and download again, which defeats my purpose. I tried to comment out Future<?> future = client.downloadData(null); and future.get(); these two lines, and the tester stops deleting my cahe. But, it is now stuck forever at "getting prices before start price". I went into the cache folder and discovered that tester is writing a bi5.lck file for every bi5 file in there, when it finished the process, nothing happens though. May i know what's wrong? or the system prohibits the use of cache downloaded via third-party software? |

If version.txt and pr_version.txt files are not present, the cache directories will get deleted. So it could help to add the external cache data into the existing cache folder. |

thanks for the reply... i tried to open version.txt and pr_version.txt, inside is only a number "5" written. Did you mean that i have to copy these two files from JForex's .Cache folder to my c:\temp in order for the tester to read the historical cache there? |
