Hi,
Does the dummybroker use real historical data? Also, can I use an existing strategy that comes with WL8?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

The Dummy broker will use whatever streaming data provider you've configured for use in the S.Monitor or a particular Streaming chart window. It does not use historical data.

And yes, it's compatible with any strategy that produces valid trading signals on next bar.

In plain English. Whatever historical data you run your strategy on still applies. But its backtest phase has finished and now it's entered another domain: live trading. Here the chosen streaming provider kicks in to power up the Dummy broker with live quotes and build the partial bar.
