System quality number
This was put into EWFO at the request of a client. I have not used this myself yet.
My question to this client was, did SQN work well compared to net profit / drawdown or net profit * average trade.
"Absolutely YES !!!
At least with my own trading systems, I am experimenting that the table of SQN value is true and when there are setting having, at the same time minSQN > 2.5 and Rank > 15 the stability is really good and OOS data are very close with IS. On the other side using P/DD only (with the same trading system) it is more frequent to get better IS but less robust and then worst OOS.
The results are extremely accurate when the trading system has time filter and or day of week or other seasonality filter, in this case the core edge of market flow is exactly to generate very consistent trade statistics and then using SQN you should easily achieve values > 3.5 and very high stability."

Doing some minimal testing with the added list of SQN Fitness Criteria in EWFO is giving me some interesting results.

Will you be adding the SQN Fitness Criteria to EWFO so those can be used in GSB WF?

I think it would be a nice addition.

Do you mean in fitness, or in performance metrics?
Anyone else tried it? EWFO is not used a lot as GSB WF is much faster.

yes, both. Will SQN and metrics be added to GSB?

I prefer using GSB WF version than EWFO.

Also, while on the subject, does GSB allow me to create code in TS then somehow dump it into GSB to do WF work vs having
to use EWFO since GSB WF is faster as you say?

It's possible to add sqn but it's likely some time off as there are more pressing features.
You can't take ts code and wf in GSB. That's the whole purpose of ewfo.

The SQN calculation that you included in EWFO, is that calculation Van Tharp, Bandy t-statistic or some other algorithmic measure?

I use sqn sometimes. I like to use EWFO to compare different metrics on different strategies.
Sometimes np/dd is best for one strategy and something else for another strategy. I dont believe that you can have one metric that is best for everything. That is what I use ewfo for anyway

Hi Peter,

I was using EWFO tonight and happen to look at Stability Scores tab and noticed there are some of the Fitness Criteria missing in the list.

Is this something you can fix.

Would very much like to see Rank and MisSQN in the list of missing Stability Scores.

Thanks.

This is all programmable by the user, but it was a bit fiddly to do it. Its been a long time since I looked at it - but I may add to the next release of EWFO

20180818 build has minor update to documentation, Sqn and other new fitness scores etc added into stability scores.
Note stability scores will take a long time as it does a new WF for every fitness used. GUI shows stuck on 87% for some time.

My EWFO is at least 1+ yrs old. I recently tried to use it but said my password had expired.

I am a paid client so does this EWFO update resolve the expiration issue?

A free update to EWFO is in the pipeline. It will have cluster analysis like the TS wfo.exe

I am hoping to have a modification to TS wf efficiency metric. I think its useless as is.
It measure the gradient of the in sample curve compared to the out of sample.
If the systems starts in mid 2007 the later results will be really poor efficiency metric.
The same system if started in 2005 would give outstanding figure.
Market conditions need to be factored in.
Im also add a few tweaks over the TS version too.
