Joke’s on us: JForex DEMO 2.13.6 is out of whack
I hope this is a April Fool’s joke but it isn’t. As shown, the Dukascopy JForex DEMO platform version 2.13.6 released this week is causing havoc to my strategy. I tested my contest strategy, which has been running fine for almost a year, but is now failing left and right. Even though this is only happening with the DEMO platform (the LIVE platform is a stable release and is running fine at the moment), the fact that they published a buggy version for us developers as guinea pigs is upsetting. JForex developers are clients too, after all.

Congrats Paul,
You are 7th of March contest.
Hey Paul,
I myself am struggling with the platform, for some reason even more bugs show their ugly face after each update. At the moment my strategies only execute an x amount of trades during backtesting and then they stop.
Sometimes the strategy freezes and I have to restart the platform.
Do you think JTrader will work better on Linux ?
I doubt changing platform would make a difference as it’s the application that’s buggy.
I actually tested JTrader on Ubuntu today and there was a noticeable difference regarding stability… Although it performed slower on Ubuntu.
How am I supposed to code strategies I cannot even backtest on periods longer than two months without the platform freezing. Frustrating :)
Sounds like you can do with some program profiling to identify the problem.
Thanks for reply,
Paul what is program profiling exactly? I have limited programming knowledge…
Try VisualVM
Thanks Paul :)
