I think his automated trading is on options and for a longer timeframe, but his discretionary trading is on the e-mini with a hold time of < 30 mins.

I just posted this to the google groups list but also wanted to get people's opinion here. ------- Over the next week or so, I'd like to wrap up one of the last major pieces of functionality that I need to complete my own trading strategy. For that, I want to add a...

Yes, you can use any database you wish as long as it has a JDBC driver. In the client, run Window > Preferences > Databases, and then enter in your custom JDBC driver, DB URL, user and password. I haven't quite figured out how to add the new JDBC driver JAR dynamically, so even though there is...

Hmm... If the smiley isn't enough, I'll be clearer: don't PM me :) One day I may be looking for contract work, but right now I'm plenty busy with my own trading. Thanks all the same.

Yes, you can. If you would like to hire me to implement your strategies, PM me :D

No, it currently doesn't send any B/A events to the strategy, but it would be a very easy change. All of the data is available at runtime and so we'd just use the same mechanism to pass along trade data. Do you have any thoughts on how this should behave during backtesting runs? Do you have...

On the strategy pane (the pane on the right side), right click > Add Strategy. In the Create Strategy wizard, type "com.ats.strategy.CloseAboveStrategy" for the class name and click finish. When you've done that, you can add instruments to the strategy and run it (backtest).

Don't even bother trying OpenTick! :) I thought that I got IB data downloading to work, but I don't use it myself and I had to make some changes to the IB data system to get the runtime version working which could easily have messed up the "Download Historical Data" function. Can you open...

http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/guide/tools/export_wizards/export_product.htm There should already be the necessary .project files in the com.ats.client and com.ats.client.runtime projects.

This looks like it will be a common problem. I think that I must have enabled Named Pipes or something non-standard during the MySQL install. Regardless, I added a "Common Problems" section to the bottom of the install guide and have added the stack trace with the solution so that other...

Good suggestion. One hint that it is the named pipe is that you will get an error in the Eclipse console saying something like "cannot open file '//./pipe'" If you see this or are desperate and want to try something, by all means try the new URL. Thanks TradingMojo.

What I wouldn't give to be sitting over your shoulder right now... What errors do you get in the eclipse console? (Same question to Janhaus.) Line 136 in InstrumentView is an attempt to iterate over the instruments returned from the DB. The only way this could be null (as opposed to...

Okay, let's see how this works. I created two new Google discussion groups: TrueTrade General, for a general discussion and support of TrueTrade. Probably most appropriate for most users. http://groups.google.com/group/truetrade-gen TrueTrade Development, for those people that want to...

Huh, cool. I'll have to think about that. Does anyone else have a preference for using a Google Group over an ET thread?

This looks just like a DB issue. Have you made sure that the database is named correctly? Have you created the guest user and granted it permissions (like at the top of the script)? Other than that, you can go into Window>Preferences in the ATS Client and configure the database...

I looked around briefly to see if there was an easy way to create a new google group, but I didn't see anything. Sourceforge allows each project to create a forum, but I'm not thrilled about using SF. I think this thread is of value to the ET crowd and they're gracious enough to let us continue.

I think that eclipse is using the *.product files (or maybe the plugin.xml files) to build this list. Can you verify which files are in the root of the com.ats.client project? You can compare yours against the subversion list at: http://truetrade.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/com.ats.client/...

Ah right, forgot about that. K, I added it to the InstallGuide :) That is interesting. I've never seen that happen before. When you go "Run > Run..." to open the run configuration window, click on the "ATS Client Builder" configuration under "Eclipse Application". Where it says "Program to...

Most of those look like warnings rather than errors. While I take the point that, for a full release, we would like to eliminate compiler warnings, I'm not going to worry about them right now. I will worry about compiler errors or runtime bugs. Are you seeing any of those?

The ATS started out as modifications to JSystemTrader before I got fed up and started the rewrite. I tried to get rid of all JSystemTrader code - did I miss some? Much of the code in the IBWrapperAdapter and the IBHelper actually came from an earlier ATS that I started about six months ago...
