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

Ahh, thats great Peter thanks. But what i actually meant was one step back, since once does not that often chose pricefiles, but more often change files one step back while testing, in the popup when you click on price data in the left side of your main GUI.

YES :) Just imagine how nice it would be to have small folders there for the individual markets, would make things very neat

And then perhaps subfolders behind that to narrow down into barsizes you work with..

Peter, a question about verification and VS, do you verify straight after the build for example the top 250 when out into D, or.. do you verify after the walkforward has been done?

Perhaps i am stuck in a thougherror... but i am unsure of if a verification done before WF is done, or a verification after WF is done, would be any different ? and if anything would change if i set USE WF Cur Params WFP, to YES for all systems before Verification...

Thanks


Good question, im donig verification before wf.
You can test if it works better after, but I felt before did. Let us know your results


In regards to Verification, i find that VSS always gets worse when doing verification with (Use WF Cur Params wfp) in YES mode.. compared to doing verification not using (Use WF Cur Params wfp) in YES mode... i cant get the logic for this, could you explain how the verification works please.... it uses either the WF settings or not depending on if you set the above to yes or no... and then it compares those fitness numbers relative to the used dates not used for training during the original build.. correct? and it only uses the dates in use when you built the systems from start....

HI Daniel, I have not looked at this closely, but seem to remember your results matched mine in this. I dont understand the reason for this and would love to know.
One think to check, is the wf stats on B,D,F better than a,c,e. (Its not always the case buy generaly they are better - or at least the Ave Trade PF etc are)
So if the WF stats are better, I would expect vss to be better on them. We both feel this may not be the case.

Regardless if WF parameters are used, I think if the stability score is higher on the system, its a better system.
What your doing shows you have a good grasp on the finer details if whats going on very deep down. Well done.

Hi Peter,

Just to confirm, we run verify on the top 250 systems (ordered by fitness - A column) or is it top 1000?

Thank you

Use the macro defaults

Hi Peter,

I am talking the manual step where we do have to right click and select verify?
I do use the macros (m1) for selecting top 250,500,1000 systems and WF.

Thank you

Hi appengineer
Note the dates are on 2015. (macro2)
So thats done with nth all, oos off, wfparma off (all done in macro2)


all 250 systems in fav a (and wf) are highlighed.
Right click, verify

Then I run macro6, which puts the top 91 systems into fav D
then run macro 3, which does the stats

Thanks also for the thanks tick. Its a new feature in the forum. In my head, I have enough content now for the next video. I was stuck on a lot of things.
Next video is really over due, but spectacular amount of time on this spent with very slow progress

Hi Peter,

What does it mean when so many systems are grouped into the same family(duplicates?), I have family with 80 members. see attached.

Thank you

Thats good, it means its popular and so the most robust system that works on many parameters.

I used to think duplicates was bad (but systems 100% the same are removed)
but now I see it as very good. It means much more robust system
GSB has great control over duplicates, and we now have this set to be very loose.
If its tight, you also wont get 50,000 systems.

Take your favorite member from the family. Likely the top few

A small tweak on the entry mode, enabled CrossCloseD.

Shows positive results too.

your doing some good work.

I found ncc (no conflicht cross) and aic (any indicator cross)
gave good results in pre 2015, but singificantly worse post 2015.
Not sure why.

these are important gsb options to fine tune. More in the next video

Peter, in the latest build there is a dropdown on the left hand side, where you can chose GSB, EasyL, or Ninja for session close... could you elaborate a bit on this?
Ninja, well thats understandable .... however running MC i am confused.. should i use GSB or EasyL?

Thank you, i can see that its supported in documentation, overlooked that.. sorry

What would be interesting to understand, is what is the actual difference between GSB logic and EL logic, i understand that its faster to build... but... what is the difference in reality that makes you recommend to only use it in backtest but not in live trading ? been curios about this even before,, so good time to ask

Many thanks

I think the issue is setexitonclose doesnt close your position if you trade with a live ts brokerage account

I have no idea on MC execution. This issue only matters for live execution. Test on a sim account first. Safest to not use setexitonclose if live trading.

JFYI, setexitonclose also seems not to be reliable in SIM TC account, two of my strategies didn't exit on close yesterday.

Thanks for update.
One issue is, if close occurs say at 1500:00 and thats when the market actually closes, close wont work.
If market closes at 1515:00 then it MIGHT work. (set exit on close)
Other close ie if time >=1500 then sell to close will work if market closes 1515
JFYI, setexitonclose also seems not to be reliable in SIM TC account, two of my strategies didn't exit on close yesterday.
