What is it?
------------------
MI Batch Processor is an application to assist in using Jamie Gritton's MI Backtester at http://backtest.org.
The application allows you to run multiple backtests as a batch. It allows you to enter multiple input parameters and select screens, and then runs the backtests for all of the combinations. The application just constructs the URL to backtests.org, then parses the results. The resulting HTML page is also saved locally in case you want to check more details.
Requirements
------------------
- Any platform supporting Java 2 v1.4.1, such as Mac OS X 10.2, Windows 98/2000/XP, Linux, etc.
- Java 2 v1.4.1 installed.
To see what version, if any, of Java you have installed, type at the command line:
java -version
Mac OS X 10.2 users can install Java 2 v1.4.1 via the Software Update utility. For other OSes, see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html
Installation
------------------
Install the application by downloading the JAR file and placing it in a convenient directory. The application will create a data directory to store HTML files returned by the MI Backtester, so I suggest placing the JAR in its own directory.
Execution
------------------
The application is distributed as an executable JAR file. On most OSes, double-click the JAR to start the application. Alternatively, at the command line type:
java -jar MIBatchProcessor.jar
Version 1.1.1
