Hi,

I've been used to testing in visual mode during the week end, But since two (2!) week ends now it's no longer possible: all I get from JForex is a bunch of exceptions but no chart at all. This happens from Friday after market to sunday opening, both in demo and live accounts. I've seen a bug posted in the forum by someone else on July 14th but the post has disapeared. So I'm asking a question rather than posting a bug: what's going on? Did you remove the possibility to use JForex for historical testing during market-closed hours altogether?

Thank you.

Did you receive any error messages or warnings?

I did not receive any error or warning related to the account or JForex connection. Only the instrument section (top left panel) was displaying something like "The instrument is not currently traded". But I got a lot of exceptions in the java console. Sorry I did not save them, but there were mostly widget resizing exceptions, NullPointerExceptions in the tester engine due to some methods receiving null Instrument object. I cleaned up caches, even tried with a computer where JForex has never been run. And as soon as the market prices started coming back (Sunday evening) everything was fine again with visual mode.
One important notice is that the test kept running even if there were no visual chart displayed.

Thank you for investigating.

This problem will be fixed soon.

Thank you.

Today again, same probelm as soon as the market closes. Here are the exceptions shown in the java console.
