Run it on a delayed (but free) feed. You're not trying to make money,
you are testing. Your system doesn't know it's a delayed feed.

Demo account of IB is useless. Open IB account (minimum $2k). Get feed
for 40 syms at $10 a month (real time feed). Feed that to ts2ki to drive
it. Use HyperServerLite (hypertrader.it) for that - it's free (adware?
but not spyware). Contact me for a older version that is both free &
free of adware. Then sign up for a dynaorder system (free trial
available) - dynaorder.com. Dynaorder has a "paper trader" available. So
you can run your strategy, but not really put on trades.

It doesn't. It's garbage data.

It's edemo, not cdemo (I am sure that was a typo)
