How is Forex + Metatrader 4/5 support coming along?
Hi :-)
It´s great to see you guys are making such good progress with the software, it´s impressive. As I´ve said earlier, I am also a seasoned system
trader, using Adaptrade Builder, Strategy Quant, Forex Strategy Builder mainly. So GSB would come in very handy and my finger is already nervous to
hit the buy button as it seems to have HUGE advantages over all of the mentioned ones. However, I trade solely Forex via Metatrader 4 and 5,
Tradestation´s (and even Multicharts) selection of brokers for Forex are terrible in terms of execution/spreads and I surely do not want to switch to
another platform anyway.
So I am wondering: how is the Forex support (in terms of ease of use within GSB, sessions, etc.) coming along and even more important: the code
generation for Metatrader 4/5? Really curious and hard to wait to purchase GSB, but without those features, it´s not useful to me yet.
Given that there are heaps of traders out there that trade Forex (in fact it´s the biggest and most liquid market on this planet), I am sure your
user-base can advance very well through such an addition as well.
Thank you so much for any timeframe you can mention.
P.S.: If anyone is currently trading GSB-generated Forex systems via Tradestation/Multicharts, I´d be interested to hear how it goes.
Cheers:-)

When GSB gets all the features we all want, then we go to the other platforms. That's some time away still. I think the odd user was working on
porting GSB code to other platforms, but I havn't heard much on this.
Currently lots of work is going to Walk Forward on the cloud.
After that smarter exits and pattern filters / secondary filters.
There are vip for forex.
I'm going to be doing a video in the next 2 weeks (I hope) about how to use GSB on a unknown / new market. Learnt a lot on that in the last few
months. Most critical is the session time used, less critical bar interval & some other significant tips.
Ive seen one user work on AUD futures, but not sure how much success. Im focusing on nat gas, crude oil, soybeans and copper.

Thanks for the reply, that sounds good, I will check back in another year then I suppose and see how far the Metatrader implementation is.

implementation of gsb to ninjatrader amibroker metatrader etc the major hurdle will be coding or recoding all the indicators that are native to
tradestation..most all have the same indicators but all platforms have a somewhat different implementation in some cases..i rewrote most of the gsb
code for c# for ninatrader a few months back but ran into issues with unsupported indicators they need redone or don't match

Hi Curt,
can you upload your NT stuff to a new thread so anyone else inclined can continue the work?

Yes, clear thing about multi-platform support, it´s a pain, but Metatrader (at least version 5 and that would most likely be enough) has a huge
user-base and a long time to come support for sure, so it will be worth it. forexsb.com do it pretty open, everyone can code new indicators for the
platform / Metatrader, they are then linked when generating the EA, it´s a really cool concept and works very well (my preferred platform at the
moment). Maybe that approach is something for GSB as well.... Good luck guys, you are on to something here with GSB for SURE!

It�s been a while :-) Has MT4 / MT5 support been implemented in the last 3 years since my last post? Still ready to buy in as soon as it does, and so
are many others of my forex trader friends. Thank you.

Sorry to say, its not happening for quite some time, Thanks for checking in.
GSB is a bottomless pit of ideas to try and program. We are still in rapid growth area and I'm not likely to do mt until the product growth slows.
One user put a lot of work into fx with some success... but I'm tied up on other markets. His work was profitable in live trading, even though he made
a critical mistake in development.
