I have test another strategy generating application. It's very easy to use, help documents are very friendly.
But using the GSB, I feel it is very hard to get started.
I run it for half an hour, but nothing out.
Is the setting wrong?

Can be a lot of things.
What date range are you using?
Are both datastreams exported from the same Tradestation workspace (so the prices are lines up)?
What kind of filter are you using for training period, test period, validation period and so on?
Are you using costs and slippage?
Are you using a stoploss?
Did you choose daytrading (exit end of day) or swingtrading (exit end of day switched off)?
I would enable the secondary filter to GeneticAlgorithm
Can you also post the lower part of the left window, so we can see what settings are used?

Such system builder may be friendly, well supported,well documented, programed by a truly great guy, but doesnt work well. GSB is newer and less well
documented, but works very well.
Documentation is getting much better over time as I have employed someone to do the docs. Hence the new new help file too.
Settings can be critical to get right.
secondary filter is disabled. This will give high volume of trades that are useless and too low to trigger the filter on training and test. Hence no
systems.
As a rule, touch as little as possible at one time in GSB, unless you know what you are doing.
For RB secondary filter should be set to genetic, and all of the 38 secondary filters disabled except closelessPrevCloseBpv. GSB works well on RB with
the correct settings.
I will be slow to respond to any posts you put in a new thread, as I get no notification. You should post here. https://trademaid.info/forum/viewthread.php?tid=4
CL and HO are easier to make then RB
I also dont know what your verification of HO is.
I enclose a RB system report. Out of sample 1/1/2018

If you are still stuck on RB, I will do a team viewer session with you.
This video will be good for making CL HO RB systems
The most critical settings are.
what secondary filters to use. ie closeMinusClose(1) or close/CloseD(1) vs ga with the same. // closebpv has superseded closed in later builds
long short, long or short.
market on close true or false.
For unknown markets, you may have to lower the training profit factor and pearsons if not enough trades come.
Most other settings the defaults are a good place to start.

Thank you all,
After setting 2nd filter (genetic algorithm), gsb works now.
I will test it for a while. And if there are some questions, that would be posted it there,
