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

39.11 has a bug where data streams are optimized even if its set to false.
Next build of GSB has a parameter stability score.
Parameter stability at the tail end of WF is one of my criteria for a good system. I will talk more on this on my next youtube video.
The video will be dedicated to what to look for in a GSB (or other WF app) WF.

My next video will be on WF. The goal is to find a good system with stable WF parameters. The example shown above is hard to achieve, but very much possible.
7 of 10 optimization runs chose the same parameters. This is excellent.
Note that the logic on pearsons and spearman exact is faulty. It should have been at least 90%. Logic on stability and close is fine.

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

The newer metrics are experimental and still working on them.
I cant see the performance metrics but Fitness is being maximized, which is very much being shifted by average trade.
So I suspect fitness has increased in the best and oos curves. This is greatly at the expense of number of trades.
You could use fitness np (without average trade) with a reasonable slippage figure in fitness.
Bottom linw however is I would just go onto another system
video on wf is here. You must download it, not view in dropbox else you get only half of it.
Video is work in progress and doesnt talk about why we need to wf, and what a wf is.

GSB 41.05 build. November 11 2017
RoofingFilter1pole now has soft coded input instead of hard code 45 value.
bug fix of print statement in a GSB 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.
Note WF is set to 300 x 300 as default. This is through but very slow. You could use 100 x 100 as initial test.

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?

It basically counts the number of parameters that are not stable, and if the count gets too high it ignores the entire row.
Anchored measures the count from the last row, while rolling counts each row relative to the next one.
Correct in bollenger. Setting(s) are under app settings Walkforward.
Pearson and spearman measure how correlated the lines are.
Pretend we had a system we WF and it had a parameter that did nothing.
The Parameter stability might not be good, but the equity curve could be exact.
Pearson's, spearman and bollenger are experimental. They should prove useful in the highly likely chance we automate systems being WF.

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

What your suggest should work, but it think its very unlikely that your custom indicators are likely to work without some more common built in ones. At the heart of the issue is there is some other problem.
what market are you on, bar interval. Give a screen shot of your opt settings. Does it work with moc being true?
Unless this relates to beta build issue, might be best to put this under general support, or custom indicators. Though custom indicators is not really the solution.


Later note Before 39.04 build there is a bug where custom indicator setting don't always save.
In the unreleased beta, there are a few bug fixes with a few more to come. I am in holiday in Vanuatu with very slow internet, but programing is going at full speed. GSB development was slowed down with IBLINK issues the last 2 weeks, but programmer is now 100% on GSB again.

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)
