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

Thx a lot for you effort to understand as I'm not totally familiar with GSB functionalities.

Yes, I'm talking about OOS%.

I understand that you are still grappling with validating several approaches. No worries.

Anyways... I was just brainstorming here.

All the best!

GSB is greatly enriched by the ideas of the GSB community, and different perspectives are healthy because if we get improved approach - this flows through to our trading p/l

Would it be possible to enable GSB to enter trades at the open of the bar instead of the close? i.e. the user will be able to select whether trades are executed at the open or the close of the bar. This will enable swing trading daily bars for stocks, without facing problematic execution issues at the brokerage.
Thanks

is this in the context of daily bars, or say 30 min bars you want to enter say at 830 instead of 900 on ES?
I think the concept is ok, but will come after the additional secondary filters. (work starting fairly soon)


I'm specifically referring to daily bars for stocks. If you are swing trading, using daily bars, a reversal trade at session close is very problematic.

Hi Cyrus, I think that can be done, but it will be after the secondary filters etc. I can see why you want the feature.

Central Price Data Repository


Hi Peter,

it is possible for GSB to supply, as an option, a central online directory of price data (maintained daily, weekly or monthly) and for GSB 'Data > Public Data Directory' to point to it?

Thanks,

Jason.

Where is the data going to come from? Likely there are legal issues if I supply the data. Best thing would be open a workspace with a indicator that writes the price files.
I dont mind data being stale, as it also gives a further un seen data period

I'm not across licensing requirements with regard to the pricing data. I wonder if there is a difference if the data is kept contained within the application versus being available for anyone to download. I also wonder whether or not how the data is used is effected by the license ie if it is used for trading execution then it can't be used but if it is used for analysis then it can be? Just thoughts.

Also I agree with the unseen data, hence the multiple update periods suggested.

GSB based session template


Hi Peter,

As posted in another thread the concept you've introduced with the Price Data Multiplier, that enables you to turn an 'ES.1.Minute.@ES.D.CentralUsaTime.txt' file into a 30 min data stream by adding the multiplier (eg 30 min), is very helpful and saves a lot of time.

Is it possible to extend this concept further and include a GSB based price data session template?

This would different to the 'Trading-Periods > Times' filter which prevents entries outside that time window. It would emulate the Trade Station (for example) session template in that indicators and secondary filters that GSB uses only considers bars inside the GSB session that is applied to the Price Data used in its analysis. I suspect it would need to be applied consistently across every data stream being used for Opt Price Data, TPD, Verif Price Data, WF Price Data and WF TPD.

Thanks,

Jason.

You mean your data might be es 830 to 1515, but there is a global filter you can apply to make it 830 to 1500?
if data2 was @ym 24 hour, the filter 830 to 1500 would also apply.
If so I think this is an reasonable idea, but it wont happen until secondary filters are done

Yes that's almost what I mean. I was thinking that you download all the data (say 24x7) for the instrument you want to build systems on then apply a filter to that, say 0830-1500. That means that you can download all the data you need in one data file and test your assumptions on that, rather than download data for 24x7, and one for 0830-1500, and one for 0900-1400 for example.

I see merit in this but @es.d is not the same as @es in that @es gives data on some holidays that @es.d doesnt.
Likely we can implement after secondary filters etc

Noted. I agree that would make it trickier. I just did an @ES.D v @ES comparison earlier for my notes prior to posting the suggestion (see attached). The @ES.D session hours are limited by the Regular Session in a way that @ES is not - even if you use a 24x7 session template for @ES.D you get 08:30 to 15:15 Mon-Fri only (ie the Regular Session). This limitation can be emulated by using a session template on @ES equivalent to the @ES.D Regular Session but it doesn't account for any holidays that are automatically added by the @ES.D Regular Session.

Thanks for your consideration of the idea.

Hello, I would like to have a couple of others folders in the Favorites. Let's say C & D.

I have thought on this and would like it. Its going to make the GUI even bigger.
However there might be less need for all of this when we have a excel / acess or standalone app the digs into the metrics.

What Ive found is decent correlation of various in sample data to out of sample data. You can also use the systems on the left, my leaving them selected by the mouse. Its more crude but works.
Override original data can also be used.

c & d can be done but the answer is maybe. What would be nicer if we can soft code how many favorites we have. I dont know if that can be done but its the best option.

Evolving PT exit


I'd like to request that PT exit be evolvable, as you did with the SLs.

Am seeing some good results by setting PT, but choosing what PT to set is just an educated guess right now. Having it genetically evolve would be great.

Ditto.

MFE and MAE metrics would also be useful here.

We should be able to do GA PT
MFE & MAE as one of the custom fields
Not sure when it will happen as the next stage of GSB is a major one.

Are users interested in greater stats. IE a list of the amount each indicator is used.

Combined with favorites, this could be used to see what indicators performed best IN sample,
and then you compare to what performed best out of sample.

The idea would be to not use indicators that go well in sample, but not out of sample.

I think it would be good for the Bars, Minutes exits to use GA as well for the same reasons. If I had to choose one, I would choose to have Bars use GA, since I generally like to use that more than exiting after n minutes.

Hi Avatar,
whats the context that you timed exits? I assume some sort of long term trading?
I suspect its a really poor exit and one of the other 7, or atr stop, close down day etc is better.

IQFeed data export formatting


IQFeed data format - Peter, i am using the iqfeed data tool to export data files (as for some reason Multicharts seems to truncate some data at start). However after a number of failed attempts keeps giving a text error when trying to import to GSB, I think the issue is the data is exported in reverse time (latest time at top). I did add new formatting for date & time but still gives error. Does GSB recognise this or could this be included?

Thanks, Dave

Example format below from ..

Date,Time,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume,Inc Vol
2019-03-15,17:00:00,58.72,58.73,58.65,58.69,490637
2019-03-15,16:30:00,58.72,58.73,58.70,58.72,488660

2019-03-15,15:30:00,58.71,58.74,58.69,58.74,484248
2019-03-15,15:00:00,58.80,58.81,58.66,58.71,478347

mc truncate data at start likely due to bars back settings. Try making it 1 (or 0??)
That could be the simplest fix.

Let me know how you get on. How much is missing from mc.
often its not an issue, esp as first part of data often is not liquid and not suitable for trading.
can iqfeed order be made old to new?

I managed to get it down now to a few months by reloading data, eg CL data from IQFeed starts on 19/9/2006 with MC showing back to 18/12/2006 so pretty close now. Have sent query to IQ on data order. I notice in my systems some have a large drawdown in that first 6 mths vs rest ( eg 3 to 4K vs around 2K for rest of data), was wondering if its reasonable to ignore that early data.
