Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could
potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without
jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only
those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of
future results

very significant update to the monte carlo wf results here.
It works really well.
https://trademaid.info/gsbhelp/MontecarloWalkforward.html

In a later build im going to make mc SR ration 1/(mc sr) so good results will be high, and poor results low
feed back on how this goes will be welcome
Im not doing any more on this for at least a week.

I made this system using the "nq-23Hours_SF.bpvNotNorm_pt6500-t21430-No-Tuethur23hr-SysBuild" settings, but changed secondary filter to be false, and used filter RSIDlyClose
This filter makes daily bars from the intra day 30 minute bars (data1)
I had to update the nq data file as i got match check errors with gsb <> ts
It looks like there are a number of variations of the above setup that can be done.
IE secondary filter RSI (which is working on 15 minute bars, not emulated daily bars)
The finished system is shown here too on the right side graph
All results include 2 ticks slippage and $4.80 commission round turn.
Systems were made by the ususal 2 pass method and using the macros on the nq-23Hours_SF.bpvNotNorm_pt6500-t21430-No-Tuethur23hr-SysBuild file (m1,m2)

The systems look great, but I can't find the filter RSIDlyClose in build 68.80.

Turns out your correct. Permissions for this experimental feature were not enabled.
I will put out in the next build. Im working providing the best settings so far too, to make it easier for users - but run into some snags and doing some more testing. I will advise when done.

However RSI SF is released.

I have the DailyRsi fixed, but im not happy with my settings. There was a bug in my dates, and the out of sample the last few years is not as good as I would like. I will advise more after more testing

The neat thing about GSB, is the GSB community where we have mutual interest in collaboration to lean new things.
Im looking again for users to help with a project testing RSI secondary filter and RSI Filter + HMA filter. If you can send me your share key, I will give the finished results to contributors.
For those who have done this before (thank you again), best for me if you use the same sharekey. That way building will start instantly and you will see me settings.

A question for users.
How are you using AI in trading.
Im using AI increasingly in many ways that is a real boost to productivity and ideas, though im not using it for system building.

One user (and ive lost track of who) is using AI to predict trades that will loose. Thats a very complex task.
Im tempted to build a new thread on this topic.
Also covering the strengths and weakness's of each AI engine.
AI is very useful for easylanguage, but its rare for me to get something what will work without modification.
comments welcome.

coming.... pivot stop and limit orders
This was the very first system I looked at, just chosen from building systems with no indicator pass etc

also here is a system from the recent release of stop entry systems.
Im going to pull every module of this code apart and see if it can be improved, or if there is bad logic.

Ive had very interesting research results this week.
Experimented with the stop / limit / pivot results on Nasdaq futures and Gold Futures
Significant improvement in results - though NQ has not changed since the settings released about 2 weeks ago.
What is interesting is GC results have different entry type to NQ, and best normalization method is also different. Still doing more testing on them.
Enclosed one system I found on GC.
Very unusual in that it gave 100% parameter stability - part of the reason is the indicators dont have parameters, but they do have weights.
Here is the original system found in GSB and the system in TS. TS has 2 ticks slippage round turn + $4.80 brokerage. (gsb zero slippage)

For some years I have a someone subjective concept that I allocate more leverage to markets thats are going well. Elephant in the room is they may be going well today but not tomorrow.

One clue is market volatility, but keep in mind volatile markets dont always trend well. One comment from president Trump can break or spike any trends was the pattern earlier this year
Hope you like these graphs
Whats going well is gold systems, many Nasdaq long only systems, and Nasdaq / ES mean reversion systems. I have a number of MR systems I will sell when time permits
my PL for last month reflects this.
eminis were used only for some day trading systems. Longer term systems and mean reversion systems used micros.

Most but not all of the profits came from the GSB gold systems here
https://trademaid.info/gsbhelp/GSB_GoldSystems.html


Im also revisiting the setup of long only Swing NQ systems testing other normalization modes and the many new stop entries we have. Its very cpu intensive to will take me a few weeks. Anyone got workers to contribute, send me an email. Thanks in advance for this.
While these swingnq60 systems have gone fairly well, i suspect we can improve the setup significantly.

This is very very big picture view on the world, which impacts trading, but is so much bigger. For me a riveting read - and im spending a lot of time on this sort of material. Gold and silver moves are some what reflective of whats going on.
Glubb's article I think is profound, and very helpful
Attachment: Login to view the details


A number of people are saying, they are ok - but they fear for the next generation.
I encourage you to read this,

and here are some comments

10 Things Families Can Do Now — In an Age of Instability and AI

We live in a strange moment.

Many thoughtful people sense that something is shifting:

Institutions feel weaker.

Politics feels brittle.

Birth rates are collapsing.

AI is advancing faster than expected.

Career paths look less predictable.

Cultural cohesion feels thinner.

If writers like Glubb are even partly right, civilizations follow predictable arcs.

And if AI acceleration is real, transitions could compress.

Parents don’t just worry about markets.

They worry about their children.

So what do you do?

Not panic.
Not withdraw.
Not obsess.

But prepare.

Here are ten grounded things families can do.

1. Prioritize Character Over Credentials

If AI increasingly handles:

Analysis

Coding

Writing

Diagnostics

Then character becomes more valuable, not less.

Teach:

Honesty

Courage

Responsibility

Self-control

Delayed gratification

Technology can amplify intelligence.
It cannot manufacture integrity.

In unstable eras, trusted people become anchors.

2. Strengthen Family Cohesion

When large systems weaken, smaller communities matter more.

Have:

Shared meals

Real conversations

Multi-generational connection

Shared responsibilities

Family stability is civilizational insurance.

Historically, families that stay cohesive outlast institutional decay.

3. Teach Economic Realism

Children should understand:

How money works

What debt is

Why savings matter

How production creates value

If volatility increases, resilience matters.

This is not fear-based.
It is stewardship-based.

4. Limit Digital Saturation

AI will accelerate:

Stimulation

Distraction

Synthetic experiences

Virtual identity

Guard childhood.

Protect boredom.
Protect nature.
Protect embodied life.

Human beings are not designed to live primarily in algorithmic environments.

5. Develop Practical Skills

In uncertain futures, practical competence reduces anxiety.

Encourage:

Mechanical skills

Gardening

Cooking

Physical fitness

Problem-solving

These skills build confidence and resilience.

6. Anchor Identity Beyond Performance

AI may blur:

What makes humans unique

What work defines

What achievement means

Children must know:

They are more than their productivity.

If identity rests only on performance,
AI will destabilize it.

If identity rests on something deeper,
they remain steady.

This is where ancient wisdom traditions matter.

Christianity, for example, teaches that human worth is not earned —
it is given.

That belief stabilizes identity in unstable times.

7. Build Local Community

National cohesion may fluctuate.
Local trust can grow.

Know your neighbors.
Join community groups.
Serve locally.

Small networks outperform fragile mass systems.

Historically, strong communities endure regime changes better than isolated individuals.

8. Teach Moral Clarity Without Hysteria

Children don’t need panic.
They need clarity.

Explain:

Why truth matters

Why self-sacrifice builds society

Why love and responsibility are not outdated virtues

Civilizations often decline when comfort replaces responsibility.

Raising responsible children quietly reverses that pattern.

9. Introduce Transcendent Questions

AI will answer many questions.

It will not answer:

Why are we here?

What is good?

What is evil?

What is love?

Why does suffering exist?

Children should wrestle with these.

Even if someone is not religious,
exposing children to the moral and philosophical depth of traditions like Christianity gives them intellectual ballast.

Christian thought has wrestled with:

Human dignity

Power

Corruption

Empire

Decline

Hope

It offers a framework that sees history realistically —
but not hopelessly.

10. Model Hope Without Naivety

History cycles.

Empires rise.
Empires fall.

But human flourishing does not depend solely on empire.

Many of the most transformative moral movements in history emerged during instability.

Christianity itself expanded:

Under Roman decline

During plagues

Through persecution

In collapsing institutions

It grew not through power —
but through service and moral courage.

If the next decades bring volatility,
they also bring opportunity.

Opportunity for:

Stronger families

Stronger communities

Deeper faith

Clearer purpose

The goal is not to preserve a golden age.

It is to raise people who can live well in any age.

A Gentle Observation

If you look honestly at the world:

Wealth doesn’t remove anxiety.

Technology doesn’t remove loneliness.

Intelligence doesn’t remove moral confusion.

Power doesn’t remove corruption.

Civilizations often decay from the inside, not the outside.

The deeper issue is human nature.

That is precisely where Christianity focuses.

It does not promise civilizational immortality.

It promises transformation of the human heart.

And transformed hearts build healthier families —
even in unstable times.

If Glubb is right, and transitions are coming,
the answer is not despair.

It is formation.

If AI accelerates intelligence,
we must accelerate virtue.

And if institutions weaken,
families and communities become the frontier of renewal.

History shows that when faith deepens,
society often follows.

Not always immediately.
Not always visibly.

But consistently.
