using the JForex API example (singlejartest), consider the following code added:
Calendar start = Calendar.getInstance();
start.set(2009, 1, 1);
Calendar stop = (Calendar) start.clone();
stop.add(Calendar.MONTH,1);
client.setDataInterval(Period.TICK, OfferSide.ASK, null, start.getTimeInMillis(), stop.getTimeInMillis());
the tester appears to use a start and end date that is off by one month, see log output below. Also, since we are using TICKS why do we get a message about time not being valid ? there are no bars start with ticks...
