March 11 2019

51.28 uploaded. Minor updates to docs (pdf). Latest RM 2019025.5
Improved export of indicators and systems (right click systems)
custom coulomb export of indicator used

Ability to allow duplicate systems if indicators are the same, but parameters different.

Bug fix where we cant update the dates of the data file if we want some extra time left out of sample.


Feb 15 2019 51.17
Updates docs, Update ResourceMonitor. A few bug fixes.
See last post for more details.
Update via resource monitor.

Feb 15 2019 51.12
Has round icons for workers, bug fixes for exceptions, and custom fields has one more decimal place.
Work on new secondary filters progressing well, but its a big job.


51.09 released Feb 6 2019
Custom fields and session times..
See end of post for more details.


51.05
Fix for below problems. Under testing. This should run old versions and new versions


51.04 Thur 31 Feb 4pm central USA time
THIS IS CRITICAL TO UNDERSTAND.WHEN 51.04 IS RELEASED AND YOUR WORKERS UPDATE, YOUR OLD MANAGERS WILL NO LONGER BUILD SYSTEMS.
HOWEVER WORKERS WONT UPDATE UNTIL THEY ARE IDLE
Managers must be on 51.04 to work with 51.04
So I will set the update time Thur 4pm central usa time.
This is an unusual situation, but was needed for the system leak bug fix.
It has a fix for the long standing bug where systems from other peoples workers leak into your manager. (very intermittent)
Also had pearsons by date, rather than trade.


51.01
7 new exits



50.89 released. Jan 24 2019
Note I have not released the new ts coded needed for the new exits. It will be a day or so away as the code will change.
The default is all new exits are true. This is a bad idea and needs to be fixed in the next build.
Its likely systems with the new exits may not be compatible with the next build, so consider this a sneak preview
old workers will not work with this build.

1.0.50.87 / 2019-01-22:
Custom Indicators logic updated to support previously saved user settings.
Stop button fix on Pause button click.
Some exceptions set hidden from users (still logged).


1.0.50.86 / 2019-01-21:
Prevent folder open on the Processor Name exception.
Minor update to the exported scripts (exit labels).


1.0.50.82 / 2019-01-17:

1.0.50.81 / 2019-01-17:
Force custom indicator fixed. Some exceptions errors fixed.
WF astab and rstab now in unique systems grid, so can be used to derive stats.
Fix WF coulomb sort.

50.79 Released only via GSBresourceManager
Has improvements in WF cloud reliability.

1.0.50.78 / 2019-01-12:
A fix (exception trap) for cases where GSB cannot read processor name.
A fix for sound/app (ex. ding.wav) file not found (by try to locate missing file in GSB's local folder).
A fix for systems leak from previous manager settings.
Implemented more effective public cloud usage
OptimizePriceData default set to false.

50.74 Jan 11 2019 Released only via GSBresourceManager
Worker's max process priority restricted to BelowNormal.
Slow/Hung cloud WF fix.
Minor UI update in WF curves.


Jan 09 2019 GSB 50.73

Needed for GSBResourceManager. Not released yet.

Jan 09 2019 GSB 50.72

Untested fix for systems from stray workers appearing, results change and or no graphs. Manager only works with 50.72 workers, GSB cloud has been updated.




Jan 07 under testing
50.70 build
files used by another process error fix
worker cpu capped at low priority. This means managers will run faster.
look for data files if not found, will give warning and look for in GSB path.



Jan 4 2019 50.66

Improvements to cloud wf.
I now did 900 WF, with any failures auto retried
New help file.
The gsb registration file is not included, so you need to put this on top of your existing GSB files.
As of a few builds ago, I feel GSB is less ram hungry overall


Jan 1/1/2019 50.60

vip to see release notes at end of this post.


Dec 26 2018. 50.53 Critical bug fix where systems were re-verified after nth / dates change. (This made market validation etc almost impossible to do)

VIP TO READ RELEASE NOTES AT END OF THE THIS THREAD




50.24 Nov 26 2018

has exit bars. All dll's updated from before 50.18. They must be updated else GSB wont run.

50.23 Nov 26 2018



atr and trailing stops fixed. New ts code has round function and GSB_Scripts_2018_11_26

50.19 Nov 23 2018

Critical bug fix where systems from old worker/manager loaded into new manager. Temp removal of gsb_round function in TS code
For today GSB cloud wont provide workers for this version and it wont donate to the public (or my) GSB cloud. Programmer still needs to update sql server compatibility table.


50.18 Nov 22 2018
file removed.
verify systems in the workers seemed to go well, at quick test.
you must update all dlls in this version.
fix for busted WF.
New exits, ie moc if openpostionprofit<0 not fixed yet


50.14 19 nov 2018
Has MOC exit if openpositionprofit <$0, exit if daily close is lower than last close.
Both for overnight systems.
I have not tested this build at all, and the ts code has not been tested either
Option to cancel verification.
In next build, auto verify systems when they are built.
File removed as I think its too buggy.



GSB 50.06 Nov 11 2018

Has genetically chosen stop. Static, trailing and atr.
Build not well tested.
Issues.
1)New stop settings dont save in config.
2) Dont use with stop loss of zero. Use say $4000. Reason is stop will be min (new stop method,stop size under exits.)
This build is NOT well tested. Main reason to get it is due to new stops. Stops will be expanding over time, but this is the first release.
3) I suspect either Microsoft or avg is deleting the exe file on one of my machines. (false positive)




GSB 49.45 Oct 20 2018
Options to enable/disable GUI metrics. Bug fixes. Reload price data if you want to update it.

Version C has blpv2 code which was missing from version B


GSB 49.35 Oct 15 2018

No installer file. Cope exe into your current GSB folders.


GSB 49.09 19 Sept 2018

CloseDBPV now in secondary filters.
User task gui on right hand side now includes nth, dates, and verification progress. On all GSB versions do not do nth and date changes at the same time. Results will be wrong. Wait for each to finish. Other bug fixes. Help file included under help.
Code expires mid Jan 2019
No installer file. New users you need 47.44 build installed first.


GSB 49.08 18 Sept

Much improved ram usage for NTH tests.
GSB format system encrypted at the end of TS code. The can be reverse engineered to get the GSB format code if you loose the GSB format code.
Has % progress for nth / dates change. Useful for when your doing high number of systems. Big improvement to ram usage in nth tests.
All GSB code will expire at the end of the month. I expect a number of new features still to come in the next week.
There is no installer file with this build. You need 47.44 build installed first.


GSB 49.05 Sep 11

support for all bars derived from 1 minute bars. Bug fixes, multiple export to PA files. To use this version, put the files in C:\GSB\GSB (Managers) & C:\GSB\GSB (Workers) and run these files instead of .44 version.
There is no installer file with this build. You need 47.44 build installed first.

GSB 48.16. August 20. bug fixes, inc fix for workers not starting. (cause was identical file contents with separate file name)
SF closedbpv ,and close/closed (both not normalized)
My limited tested shows non normalized close/closed does NOT work well. Option to right click and delete data in data manager
YOU MUST HAVE ALL DATA 2 ENTERED IN CONTRACTS LIST. Note also your groups of data (ie 29,30,31) are not saved in contracts, but in opt settings. (This might change later)

There is no installer file with this build. You need 47.44 build installed first.


GSB 47.44. July 19. All cloud users should upgrade.

Attachment: Login to view the details Full installer file.
Fix GSB cloud issues.
Recent build changed cloud upload from 2 minutes to 10 seconds. This caused SQL server to drop trades and give exceptions for many users. Now we send systems after 1 min.
Slippage and commission back in reports. For slippage & commission in fitness, run GSB in admin mode. I don't recommend different values for fitness and reports as its slows GSB down 10% or so

One tip. GSB manager, worker and standalone files are all identical. Its just the file name and the folder that determine function.
Another tip. Old workers wont typically run on new managers, but new workers typically run on old managers

GSB 47.41. July 17. Fix for stats on nth tests,
see http://trademaid.info/forum/viewthread.php?tid=149
Attachment: Login to view the details
No other files, add into existing GSB folder.


GSB 47.40 build. July 16th 2018
exe files only
Metrics now for each bar interval / market on nth test.
So you can build system on 29 30 31 min bars, and see the Nth OOS results on just 30 min etc. Not sure this is bug free in results. Sometimes maths is wrong for individual time frames (not sum of them all time frames)
Counters to identify if any workers are dropping systems.
Executes chime.wav and optional gmail.exe if the nth tests have completed.
This build will be superseded in the next week.
You need to put a sound file called chimes.wav in gsb folder
input field for GSB icon



GSB 47.29 build. July 8 2018
Attachment: Login to view the details
Installer file. No work has been put into standalone settings.
NG contracts session time needs to change to 14:30 to reflect session time of central USA. It was exchange time previously. Using exchange time is too problematic when you get other data with exchange in different time.



many bug fixes and improvements, speed increases for some things, gui updates.
Fix for intermittent nth stats not always correct.
Performance metrics now in app settings, not op settings
Best not use different versions of workers and managers.
turns of read only mode on the GSB folder. (make take a little longer to start GSB)
Install over the top of 47.10 or older builds
Not workers will be slower to respond to manager. 4 to 5 min to see them start. They are not working slower, just slower update period. This is a short term fix for workers systems being lost due to the data base being full.



GSB 47.10 build. 29 June 2018

All users must upgrade, code expires at end of month.
Has muti market time frame + more
The video for new features is the last post here.

Market data testing with nth / inverse nth metrics now a lot more automated.
Override original settings feature.



GSB 45.02 build. 11 June 2018

Attachment: Login to view the details
Bug fixes with favorites. Nth system regeneration now multi threaded. Bug fix with dates selection. You dont have to upgrade 44.52 workers.

GSB 44.52 build. 24 April 2018

bug fix. average GUI metrics don't change unless you click on the individual system. Default GUI metrics update is 5 minutes.


GSB 44.50 build. 24 April 2018
Do not use older workers with this manager. Old managers can use this versions workers.
Favorites has 4 modes, Nth & dates toggle are in the GUI.
Performance metrics are now averaged with mouse over.
Icon changes
On startup, GSB will try to find and load the mode-based icon (that is, GSBManager.ico, GSBWorker.ico, or GSBStandalone.ico) located the app folder, if any.
2. Else, it will try to load the generic icon (that is, GSB.ico) located the app folder, if any.
3. Else, it will use the default/built-in icon (red, green, or yellow for manager, worker, or standalone, respectively).





GSB 44.36 build. 17 April 2018

GSB 44.33 build. 12 April 2018

exe only. Add to files of version 44.21
Option to skip every nth days. This can then be inverted to see out of sample that GSB has never seen. Trading period dates - there is now a option to use,ignore or invert. Works brilliantly.
Option to use setexitonclose for market on close instead of slower & longer TS code..
Option to use vars: instead of input:



GSB 44.30 build. 9 April 2018
Lots of bug fixes. Fix for some WF on the cloud not work



GSB 44.22 build. 31 March 2018
ExceptionsCleanup (in AppSettings\Machine Resources) implemented, default is 7 days.
OverrideOriginalData implemented, as a right-click button similar to favorite.
Allow modified price data (on left-side grid) if new data count >= original data count (in past they must be equal).
Favorites (add/remove) combined in one right-click button.
InactivityPeriods fixed, and Monday-Friday set as disabled-default.
ShareKeys and other Workplace-related settings auto-update in Database every 10 seconds implemented.


GSB 44.21 build. 29 March 2018

Bug fix for .20 build ts code wont compile. gsbcloud3_password1234 now the default share key.


GSB 44.20 build. 28 March 2018

A manager can be stopped, and we can do WF to the cloud.
WF to the cloud can also be done Multi threaded.
We can now WF saved systems to the cloud.
But you CANT start a manager, send saved systems wf to the cloud if the manager hasnt first been initially connected to the workers.

data1 can be changed. ie you use 30 min data to build a system, then synthetic 29,30,31 + noise etc to see change in results.
Note it takes a while after loading the system to get the new results.
Changing trading-dates for backtest and walk-forward implemented. (Left part of the GUI under trading periods)
Other bug fixes and tweaks.
share for for cloud now must be gsbcloud3_password1234
This is so we don't mix non compatible manager, worker versions.
Some new features need a bit more polishing how they work.
44.04 will expire at the end of the month. Badly needs to be retired as it fills up the data base, and not compatible with newer GSB.

GSB 44.14 build. March 24 2018
more improvements to cloud, and cleaning up the data base etc

You need to install this over the files of 43.40 build. This is the zip file only, includes the exe file.


GSB 44.13 build. March 24 2018
bug fixes, esp with cloud. Manager can be paused to speed up cloud WF



GSB 44.09 build. March 22 2018

Fix for SQL data base filling up with systems that might be from killed managers / workers. Likely the reason to reason my workers slow to start. Best all users upgrade to fix this issue
Includes other bug fixes and few other tweaks.


GSB 44.09 build. March 17 2018

Lots of updates to cloud. Fix for stability scores now in code.
wf to cloud now multi-threaded.
DO NOT MIX .04 AND .09 manager and worker.GSB cloud share key for this is version gsbcloud2_password1234
needs all the other files from your previous build. 44.03??


GSB 44.04 build. March 10 2018
No installer till next week.

Note this is exe file only. You need all the files contained in 44.03 build.
A web server that GSB cloud uses to get your IP address has fallen over. (It got fixed Sunday morning).
see http://69.162.69.148/
This build has alternative servers. Bug fix for WF to the cloud has no profit factor.
Do not submit more than a few WF at a time to the cloud. I did 100 in one go and it crashed the machine hours later due to lack of ram. This will be fixed soon. WF cloud only works when you have GSB.exe.xml. This is to stop trail users who don't have this file sending many wf at once and causing issues.



GSB 44.03 build. March 7 2018

fix for some systems don't make it from the workers to the managers.
Has WF to the cloud, but manager must be running (not stopped) for this to work.



GSB 43.40 build. March 2 2018

Installer file, bug fixes, ability to close all local workers with tools, close workers. Version control on SQL data base.

All users please go to this build.
beware. Dll's from .27 upwards and .25 are not compatible. Dont mix them.If you do cloud workers wont work if the data files are not in the path.


GSB 43.25 build. Feb 17 2018
BUG. If someone uses gsbcloud1.. in their manager they get 100% of the cloud, not the 10%. Will get this fixed asap
The default setting of work is to allow GSB cloud to use it, and not allow your own manager to do this. Under app settings, workplace remove share key gsbcloud1 and set the next 2 settings to true.

GSB cloud on faster server. Will not talk to any older versions. (You must upgrade all workers and managers.)
Bug fixes and improvements.
Includes settings for CL & NG systems.
I think NG is the easiest of all markets.
Includes a worker that means you can contribute your spare CPU to the GSB cloud pool, and see what other GSB users are doing too.
C:\dropbox\GSB\GSB (Workers)2ContrubuteToGSBCloud1\GSBWorkerCloud1.43.25.exe
Each manager gets min of 1 cloud worker (if any are free) & 10% of the total cloud power. (what ever is bigger)

GSB 43.12 build. Jan 16 2018

GSB cloud seems to be working well. You can use 10% of the GSB cloud and your own workers by default. You can also donate your spare CPU time to the GSB cloud. See docs at the end of this posting.
There are also some minor tweaks and bug fixes.
Dropbox is now redundant.
Over write 42.15 with these files.

RoofingFilter1pole now has soft coded input instead of hard code 45 value.
bug fix of print statement in a GSB TS function.
WF data streams fixed.
WF anchored and rolling stability
Option to disable other WF metrics in app settings GUI
You need to update TS code. No backward compatibility issues.WF defaults are set to 300 x 300. This is very slow and through. You can use 100 x 100 for a initial check.

GSB 41.02 build. November 7 2017

Has WF entrylevel bug fix.
If operators are * only, keep entry level at zero.

Peter:

Just confirmed the following:

Under the installer version 33.103, using ES 30M 0830.1500 from 00 to 170825 and a custom indicator for day trading, when I utilized 8.50 per side for fitness commission, it ignores the commission and returns fantastic results but with no friction. Most of the results are 78%, > 700K in value and over 2000 trades. Unfortunately the scripts input to TS even without any commissions or slippage, don't give anywhere near those results. Too Bad

When I changed the fitness commission to 17 trade round trip, the program seems to work as advertised. Much more realistic performance.

Under Beta 36.12, besides having to change the data files and custom file directories in the App file, you can not read any app file. If I want to use a tighter app program I have to re-do it. The older app files are not compatible or there is an error in the code.

Waiting for my custom indicator to finish and then will run a new run to both of these releases.

Great, that is just what we need. Force it to use an indicator and an ability to save a run for future reference. Looking forward to it. Regards

Peter: I must be doing something wrong when I save a system. Lets say I did a great run, and want to save one of the unique systems. I save it to the correct directory, but when I try to re-open it in a GSB application, it doesn't seem to open again. Am I looking for it in the wrong place? This is great if it works, but it has been an issue for me. Let me know the process you use to do this. Thanks

Peter: Just a quick note, I ran 38.0 last night and the right side of the build does not automatically update the Optimization section. The number of restarts or unique systems does not automatically update. If you click on each field, you can get a number except for the restart field. The % completion bar for each run does not work also. I am running the program in "Stand alone" mode. Will this run allow us to use just a small set of indicators including custom ones? Very important feature to me

I've been away for a while and haven't tried the new versions of GSB. In 37.29, I had the same problems noted by jptann. This was so, whether I used data from the dropbox folder or the Lan. At this point, it is not clear where the programme files are to be placed. According to a previous doc, the correct place is: c:\dropbox\gsb-workplace-test\gsb (managers), with sub-folders for gsb (managers) and gsb (workers). Presumably, the new exe files should overwrite those in the 2 sub-folders. I don't like the higher-level folder being called gsb (managers), but I haven't changed it in case the programme uses the specifically named path. As for the data path, is this the data path that is still supposed to work? c:\dropbox\gsb-workplace-test\data (dropbox shared folder) where the data is placed in the "Price Data" sub-folder. Personally, I'm not in favour of using dropbox and would rather put my data on a Lan drive.

The next build of gsb gmial.exe has a message that pops up saying you need to enter your gmail details.
But im going to disable sending email as a default setting. I found it useful so I get an email when GSB has finished a run. However lots of people are going to have the same issue. Sound file alone is simplier

for each beta version, any chance we can get standalone zip files along with the installer files? i prefer the standalone at the moment, as its easier to switch them out for each new beta version

I tested version 38.19, with 2 workers on 1 computer, and confirm the errors reported above. I will try version 38.22 today. Presumably the setup.exe downloads and overwrites 38.19. Or, is it a separate install? I still have version 33.1 installed. It doesn't show up in Revo Uninstaller as an installed programme. However, I need to uninstall it because there is too much clutter. But if I activate its uninstall.exe file, will this only remove 33.1 or affect 38.19 and/or 38.22? In the doc it says that any changes to settings will be reflected in the manager and all workers. I didn't see this in practice. I changed the division operator "/" in the manager to "enable" and saved the settings. But when I loaded in the workers, this change was not reflected. I had to change it manually.

vip. 38.22 standalone settings have random seed as zero. (advanced mode on) This should not be zero but blank. Otherwise all systems generated will be the same every time you run GSB. Its for diagnostic / bench-marking reasons only
This is fixed in GSBSETUP38.22d.tri.exe
The exe etc is still the same build.
No need to install the new build, just change the setting.

Using 38.24. Did not change the default directory for the data and just added new data to it. The data file that these files went to was under the Dropbox_GSB_GSB(Manager)_Data_PriceData I then prepared two custom indicators and they were placed in DropBox_GSB(Manager)_Data_IndicatorsData. The issue is when I try to load these indicators, the application can't find them. It looks like I have to move the files to GSB_Data(DropBox Shared Folder)_Indicators Data where the program can find them. Shouldn't the program find these custom indicators under the Manager area, but for the stand alone version it is placing them in the master Data file. I believe that if I changed the default directory to the shared folder, it would place the files in the correct directory. I will try this after the present stand alone run. The application may be correct, and I could be doing something wrong, but I think the load custom files is pointing to the incorrect directory

Hi Peter, I'm trying to figure out how to upload a screen shot. I'm not sure on how to upload the screen shot. The copy and paste doesn't work. Any suggestions, or email me your email and I will upload it that way.


Forget about the above, I figured it out

improvement to settings files

WF analysis

Peter: I'm a little confused by your new WF. If you take a look at the attached pictures of three different WF's from a run, it seems that the obvious run is WF #2. I am sharing these pictures because it is an example of Params Stability > 75, with Pearson Close near 90%. Need to understand Spearman better.

All three pictures were within the top 10 Unique Systems so I found it interesting that two were fairly the same, but the third was UGLY

Any comments would be appreciated

Next build has wf metrics here. ie OOS etc.
Out in a week or so, but its working now.

There are some numbers reported after a WF test that are supposed to allow an evaluation of the adequacy of the system. But I can't find an explanation of how they are calculated and what they represent. Is the "param stability" number calculated over all WF segments (10 being the default) or x% of the most recent ones? Does it incorporate all the parameters? I presume that the "Bollinger" statistic measure the spread between the brown and yellow curves. Is the reported number calculated using 1 or 2 standard deviations? What are the Pearson and Spearman rank correlation numbers calculating?

WF ISSUE
There is a problem in the settings of the last build(s). Min WF trades is set too low. This means a wf could give you just a few trades as the fitness is higher than many smaller trades when fitness is np*average trade.
I had reduced this mainly due to people using small data files, ie tick data (and I dont like the concept of small data files at at all)
Best put it back to 100 or a bit less if you have shorter data files.


Whats in the pipeline.
Improved csv custom indicators, and multiple custom indicators in one file.
Diag upload. This will let he user choose to upload optional fields of settings, data files used in settings, saved systems.
GSB is getting time consuming to support now. Much of this is also due to users who have low trading experience. The Alpha testers of GSB were all extremely knowledgeable and experienced
More work in secondary filters.
Trailing stops and some other exits.

In the next build, you can save a comment which appears in the code. Note that you need to click off the current system, then click on it for it to re-appear.
Hoping to have a new build in the next week. Progress was slower than expected in the last two weeks.
the machine name and worker id that produced the system are also included.

Peter: Can you post a quick guide to force the program to only consider the custom indicators. It would be most helpful. Is it as easy as setting all the canned indicators to false for that run? Having trouble getting any swing trading system going so I want to start from scratch and build up from my custom indicators only and going from there

The next release has support feature.
It uploads settings, data files, optional screen shots and optional system(s)
There is improvement to centering normalization code being worked on right now, + some bug fixes.
Should be out in the next week.

42.05 out shortly.
Has option to filter systems that have certain metrics say inn the last year.
Do not create systems using centering on this build. (OK for backward compatability)
