Is the executor.bat file missing from quickFix/j version 1.6? I'm trying to figure out how to run the line system('C:\sandbox\java\quickfixj\bin\executor.bat&'). Is it necessary to switch to version 1.5?

nice work, @Stuart is there so much a need to use GA for finding the best rule? there are 3*2+3*2^2*3+2^3*3^2 possibilities of rules with the scheme you did, so it's not a big deal to test them 1 by 1

Hello Stuart,
I am having trouble with starting banzai on my computer. I know it has to probably deal with not having the the config file on the correct path.
I am receiving the error that SessionSettings is a undefined function. I am not sure where to put the correct file and what files to put there. Thank you!

@Stuart,
I solved the issue. It was indeed a path issue. If classes depend on other .jar then those need to be added to the javaclasspath as well.
Following the quickfix installation guide the following 4 jar files need to be in the path:
quickfixj-all.jar(includes core and message JARs)
mina-core-1.1.0.jar
slf4j-api.jar
slf4j-jdk14.jar

Those following this thread my find the website: http://www.openAlgo.org interesting. Some of the work here inspired it along with work from 'Algorithmic Trading With Matlab 2010'

Hello Stuart,
1) The Banzai example is running correctly on my system.
2) The javaclasspath is set correct.
I'm successful calling (and creating the output objects in Matlab) other classes from the same quickfixj-all jar files.

@Frank
The error is telling you it can not find the SocketInitiator method. This error is likely due to one of these reasons:
1) the required library is not on the javaclasspath
2) a mis-match in required java libraries
When you download and install quickfix/j, run the banzai example outside of MATLAB to make sure your system has all of the required java libraries. If it runs correctly, then the problem is in the importing/classpath.txt reference to the required java libraries, which you can fix by importing the libraries from the same directory as the installation of quikcfix/j.

I have an error when I trying to execute 'Demo7b_QuickFIXExample.m'
Everything works fine up to the line:
initiator = SocketInitiator(application,storeFactory,settings,logFactory,messageFactory);
which gives me the error:
Undefined function 'SocketInitiator' for input arguments of type
'quickfix.examples.banzai.BanzaiApplication'.

Thank you for this collection. On a cursory read of the code, if I am correct there is an issue with the logic employed in tradeSignal if I have understood it correctly. Specifically, the input 'ind' and logical 'AND'. As I understand it, 'ind' is normalized such that 0 = sell, 0.5 = "skip", 1 = buy. If you logically AND 0 & 1 (sell and buy) the result is a 0 (sell) however this is not the desired result. I'm posting this in the spirit of others trying to review this code and welcome any correction on my understanding.

Hi Goryn,
Did you try inputStream = java.io.FileInputStream('C:\\MATLAB_CODES\\Automated_Trading\\banzai.cfg');
settings = SessionSettings(inputStream);
It is a JAVA path issue, not MATLAB. Try this and it should work.
Goryn (view profile)
Thank you for your answer, Stuart. But it is another error. Firstly, I've tried to run Demo7b_QuickFIXExample.m and it writes:
Java exception occurred:
quickfix.ConfigError: banzai.cfg (The system cannot find the file
specified)
at quickfix.SessionSettings.<init>(SessionSettings.java:110)
Error in Demo7b_QuickFIXExample (line 23)
settings = SessionSettings('banzai.cfg');

This error occurs when trying to reference a file path on Windows that is not a valid URL. See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3506051&group_id=176742&atid=878458 for an example.
You can either:
1) Run the commands with banzai.cfg in the current working directory
OR
2) change the MATLAB file to accept inputStreams:
inputStream = java.io.FileInputStream('C:\\MATLAB_CODES\\Automated_Trading\\banzai.cfg');
settings = SessionSettings(inputStream);

I have an error when I trying to execute 'Demo7b_QuickFIXExample.m' script:
- firstly I've added path to 'classpath.txt'
- then after loading quickfix packages I try to execute 'settings = SessionSettings('banzai.cfg');' it writes me:
Java exception occurred:
quickfix.ConfigError: banzai.cfg (Cannot find) at quickfix.SessionSettings.<init>(SessionSettings.java:110)
If I try to execute a line of code with full path, like "settings = SessionSettings('c:\MATLAB_CODES\Automated_Trading\banzai.cfg');" it writes:
Java exception occurred:
