Strategy Agent

In this post I would like explain you how create your custom strategy and runs it in debug mode from your preferite IDE.

public static void main(String[] args) {
String cmds = "MarketData.txt";
StrategyAgent.main(new String[]{cmds});
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

MarketData.java

import org.marketcetera.strategy.java.Strategy;
import org.marketcetera.event.AskEvent;
import org.marketcetera.event.BidEvent;
import org.marketcetera.event.TradeEvent;
import org.marketcetera.marketdata.MarketDataRequest;
import static org.marketcetera.marketdata.MarketDataRequest.*;
