Greetings,
dear Dukascopy, I was happy user of Jforex demo and it's options for long time. It worked just fine.
Now, I've opened 'Jforex' demo and 'Historical Tester' for the first time since few weeks, and it's just broken.
My files with strategies developed in 'Visual Jforex', which worked just fine before, now they don't work, and these are exactly the same, unmodified, untouched files.
I can see by the layout of 'Jforex' that there was some kind of update.
Little problematic thing is removing feature that allowed users to copy Historical Tester window. Now if i want to have 3 similar testers opened at the same time next to each other, I need to put on all the options manually instead of copying first tester few times. Option to copy 'Historical Tester' window was available under the right click on tester's bookmark. Now it's gone.
How removing that, removing little useful option, could be thought as an improvement worth implementing in an update...?
But this is nothing compared to some monstrous bug, which....
...immediately closes positions, that were opened by 'open at market' command from Visual Jforex, if they have 'Take profit' and 'Stop loss' on.
If Your strategy openes such positions, no matter what You put on 'Take profit' or 'Stop loss', there are closed immediately after being opened.
I've made some silly little strategy for the sake of seeing that bug at work, to be sure how bug works, and You can make Your example in a minute. To get same example of results as mine, please run in for a single day 2015.05.04.
I've made simplest strategy which is supposed to open one sell and one buy position for every 10 seconds, 'Take Profit' and 'Stop Loss' are set to 99 pips - so what about results of running it for one day, 2015.05.04 ? ;]
In that day such strategy openes 17280 positions, and according to the results, all of them are closed in the very same second that they were opened...
)
It behaves like that no matter what values You put in 'Take profit' or 'Stop loss'.
This bug happening in all kind of 'Visual Jforex' strategies now, I've just told You about a simplest possible example of strategy illustrating the problem.
What is that? Why is that? I've never had such an issues with 'Historical tester'.
Please, be so kind to explain that to me/us, and fix that issue,
Thank You in advance for Your support,
regards,
