Run the AlgoTrader in Eclipse

Question

I am trying to run the AlgoTrader in Eclipse but I get two errors

The only problem now is when I run the SimulationStarter class I get the following error:

I am able to run the MOV strategy in the cmd but I have been stuck here for a very long time!

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions they would be much appreciated as this is very important for me and I have tried everything I could think of.

Answer 1

For the first problem you can solve it when you add the after the build.

<build>
    <pluginManagement>  

    </pluginManagement>
</build>

The second one seems quite complex. Everyone that can solve it is machine

Answer 2

You are probably trying to run SimulationStarter inside the project algotrader-code. However to run the simulation you need to run it inside the algotrader-mov project

Hope this helps!
