I just re-ran WF on 1 of the systems that I loaded, and upon completion and setting Use WF = true, the ID within the EL code of the WF versions was different, so that explains that.

In my opinion, that ID should either remain constant, or there should be a variable in the code corresponding to the original system ID to at least enable someone to reference the original system in the event that they need to save and reload for some reason.

I also saved and reloaded that system and did confirm that it does not preserve the WF parameters even when applied. So, that means that if you do a large number of WF and need to reload for any reason without saving the WF ELD's and then reload, then that work is lost.

So, it might be nice to enhance the export process to export not only the system, but also be able to export all of the EL code versions in txt format (including WF if performed) and do so as a sub-folder per system or in zipped format. Since I had a batch of 255 high quality systems, it's not feasible to go and do all of that manually.

Another option is to export the WF settings and data in the serialized system so that the state in which the system was saved can be fully restored when it is loaded.

At minimum, though, it would be very beneficial to at least be able to batch export WF code and have some reference back to the original system ID included.

Hi Avatartrader,
You can save your 255 systems in a subfolder of your choice.
I like the idea of saving wf version of systems, and have requested the programmer, to see if this can be done

Is txt of the system needed? If you could reload the 255 systems with the wf parameters, its a simple matter to cut and paste into ts/mc

No, if the current functionality could be enhanced and the system could be saved and preserve the WF parameters/version and other properties, then that would be ideal and GSB could re-generate the required code versions on the fly anyway.

Hi Avatartrader,
I will let you know if we can do this, when I hear back from programmer.

Hi Peter,

I am Walking Forward about 1000 systems and it's taking too long, more than 24 hr passed and it's only 25% complete.

Running it on e2680v2 and I chose Genetic Algorithm Multi-threaded

Thanks

That doesnt surprise me that it takes that long. I have about 7 servers/pc so can do 1000 in well under a day easily. You can reduce the amount of population & generations if you use 2 indicators. 120x120 to say 80 x 80
Likely if you do 500 wf, the results will be similar. But the more the better as too small sample size will give more variation on the same test.
All you can do is rent (off me )or buy more servers, or wait.
The wf will be 10 to 100 times faster than TS, so you have to put that in perspective. Few people could even imagine its possible to wf 1000 systems over 4 days.

This is one of the reasons I encourage resource manager to be used.
Collectively it gives us all more power the bigger the GSB user base gets.

My own cloud which I donate to users when not used - has been used about 80% of the time in the last week. (much higher than normal) Ive done about 20,000 wf this last week.
If my usage of my servers drops, likely it will help you a bit. Renting a second server for $10 a day also will help you.

this MIGHT help wf speed. Only good if you have lots of ram.

Thank you Peter

Just wanted verify I didn't do something incorrectly.

I have enough memory, the Manager seems to be doing the heavy work, RAM usage is about 170GB, how did you span the WF in multiple servers?
I am planning to replace my PC with a more performant one, it may help share the load.

I will increase the cache size after the WF is complete

The manager shouldnt be doing the heavy work, it should be the workers.
Are you sending to the workers?

The keys are setup correctly, when I built the systems, I saw them appear on the workers.

Both Manager and workers are running on the same server.

It's hard to tell if anything is going on on the workers.

I can see the WF progress in the Manager. No systems on the workers.

So, I think you must be right - it looks like the WF EL code is given it's own unique ID different from the system ID, and that is not preserved for sure. Unfortunately, since the ID of the original system and the WF code I do have is different, I can't easily go back and find the system to see if the current parameters after loading are what were the WF parameters at the time.


52.32 has the find system option. Saving WF parameters is in the pipeline

Hi Peter,

I am trying to get caught up with all the new features. It says in the user guide that new macros will be included in latest version of GSB. I have updated to 52.30 but cannot find IndicatorStats.gsbmacro, I can't find it on forum either. Can you please let me know where to find this file?


Thanks.

There was nothing there after updating to 52.30, I found a zip file in the forum which had
alldatesto20150630.gsbmacro
NtahAll.gsbmacro
wf_stats.gsbmacro
and I put them into that file location. But have not been able to find indicatorstats.

Here is indicator stats, but its very easy to make the macro yourself if you dont have it.
Other macros are included too.

Hi Peter,

I have set the parameters as per step 3 in GSB guide for methodology

Use only the addition operand.
Use weights 0.5 to 2 step 0.25 for all weights. Do NOT use subtract or negative weights.

I tried building systems on SI first, which GSB did do but avg trd was really low <$10 for all systems.
Then I tried building on ES and it would not build any systems.

what might cause this?

Thanks.

my guess is you dont have secondary filter on.
slippage and commision set to zero?
send me teamviewer details if stuck.

Look also at thus post

was there any change in the display of the results i.e. 60k is now 60 ? If yes, does it impact the input of maximum loss for a stop-loss ? (3k would be 3 ?)?

in the tab "Unique systems', profit numbers and drawdowns are numbers like 60 or -3 (for 1 NQ future), while yesterday they were 60k and -3k. Maybe I changed one of the settings by mistake. Will double check tonight

check your trade by trade and see if the point values look correct, and or check under contracts

Hi Peter,

TS doesn't support using Exchange Time with multiple data stream when the symbols are in different time zone. (NG,CL,HO,RB)

How do you go around this?

The GSB system I am trying to import into TS checks the last second of the trading session to close trades - If (TimeHms >= 133000 And TimeHms <= 133059) Then

Thank you
