Hi Everybody,
I'm a new user, and I'm having an issue with loading data onto GSB. I created the .txt files exactly as the documentation area of the website says. I placed it in the right folder, that didnt work, then I tried creating a folder for the symbol along with the other folders didnt work. I made sure to hit enter on the prompt like the website says, and GSB will simply not load the data. it does not show under the Opt Data field and its not even on the list when I go to look at it again.

Greetings numberjuani, welcome,

Not entirely clear where you are in the system, but here are a few hints.

1. Data file should be in GSB/Data/Price Data/

2. You need to go into Tools->Price Data List in top menu to open up the data configuration dialog.

3. Once in that dialog, when you click cursor into blank area a bottom of list in left pane ('*' next to that blank field), you need to enter a name for your data set. "ES.30.0800-1500" lets say, AND THEN HIT RETURN. when you hit return, it will move you to new blank field below, you need to move your cursor back to the box with your new dataset name, and then begin filling out the info in the right pane.

Hope that helps.

Opening a GSB created script file


Peter,

Could you explain the process of opening a script file with GSB which has the hash at end of the file fully intact?

I've named the file with .gsbscript extension, right click in lower optimization results area, and selected the file. Nothing happens. Not sure if my expectation that it will recreate the system in GSB is correct or not. What am I doing wrong?

select just the {T&^TGYUIG^&(TG(.....BHGyuog978} section
yes, that should work

I've tried both opening the EL script with the hash in place as well as removing all of the EL code and saved to a file with just the hash. Using "load" from the right-click menu does not open anything.

No errors.

Manager doesn't want to start working

Hi everybody,
this morning I have a strange issue with GSB.
Until yesterday I had my licensed copy up and normally running with 4 workers. This morning I've upgrade ram from 32gb to 64gb (but I don't think this is the reason of the issue) and from now on, after starting GSB Resource Manager and 4 workers, when I launch the Manager under workplace in "stus. sum" I see "Searching.. " with clock running but everything happens. obviously I tried to restart the computer but it dind't fix the problem.
In this moment the clock is 19:56, and I figure it out it can't find workers and so can't start.

am I doing something wrong?

Any help is appreciated

This may be an issue that Peter needs to work through with you, but here are some ideas.

1. You must start some workers in order for manager to find them, if you aren't running Resource Manager (RM) I would recommend you start there. There are links to Resource Manager download in the docs.

2. Virus scanner excluding the C:\GSB folder?

You don't need the resource manager running when you want to use the GSB manager.

What GSB version are you on? Here 56.72. Everything is running smoothly. Still impressed how easy this is!

Agreed that you do not need RM running, but you do need workers running. So you either must start workers by hand, or run RM so that it manages the load and available workers.

Thank you for your reply Randy.

Well, I'm quite new in GSB so I prefered to reinstall everything.
And now it restarted to work (Launching in sequence RM -> GSBManager) .

Hi GSB friends,
I'm unable to add a contract to the contract list, I want to add @DX, and as I try to fill all the fields such a pricescale, dollar value, I am unable to change the default value of 0 in the boxes. Any ideas?
Thanks,

numberjuani, great question.

If you hover over those column names you will see that it says they are read only. Not sure if these get populated once there is a data file available with matching symbol name or if there is some other way to set these. I'd give a try to see what it does when the data file is there.

Hey there, have you tried to clone an existing one and change values in that clone ? might help you to at least get what you need added...

I would also love to know what the fix is.

Cloning not really an option as there is no other Dollar Index contract listed and as I mentioned, for those three columns (Tick Size, Price Scale, Min Move) the column name indicates that it is "read only"

Tradestation Index in EWFO


Hi,

Is it possible to use Tradestations Index calculation in EWFO as Fitness?

The Tradestation Index is: NetProfit x Winners / MaxDrawdown

Regards,
Peter

Greetings Petzy,

I believe that the NP / -DD * W is the TSI fitness function.

Hi Peter, just a quick one.. if one wants to move the GSB folder to another disk on same pc, is there any way to do this without having any issues after with GSB? also... and.. if i want to move just price data folder to dropbox for example, how do i do this best without having issued with opt setting files that cant find the price data files..

GSB folder is outgrowing my disk... :)

Thanks

Daniel, this is one I have been harassing Peter about as well. :) There are a number of reasons to do this. My initial reason was to be able to share all user created data with other colleagues also working on GSB. As the storage requirement grows, this is another great reason to be able to point that data to another location while allowing GSB to live on C: drive.

I think GSB has all paths relative, so it should be able to go from c: to d:
regardless we will add a optional path as Randy requested in future build

I want to be sure when I go into implementation that I am scheduling re-optimizations in accordance with what GSB Walk Forward was doing and then showing in graphs.

GSB appears to train/optimize on around 2 years of data and apply to the following year in the Walk Forward (on an anchored basis). Is this an accurate interpretation of how GSB is doing the Walk Forward?

Therefore, if true, I would re-optimize at the end of a year?

Thank you.

I personally very rarely if ever re-optimize. If you have hit parameter stability, parameters ideally should not change on future data. Exceptions are ES market in 2018-2019. That leaves you with the question should you allow parameter changes which in effect are a curve fit for this short period. I personally was not happy about this situation and not clearly decided. The good news was then came 2020 with some spectacular large moves.
What I do know is a reot in 2008 just after the lucrative global financial crisis was a very bad idea. It caused systems to only like the highly volatile times. The following year was really low volatility. However now thats many years ago, Im happy to included that data as its effect is balanced by the many years since.
As an example, look at the oldest GSBys1es system. I dont think you will improve it by re-optimizing. Its nearly 3 years out of sample

Hello,

I have a newbie question.

How can I run only local GSB to build and walk-forward systems? My desktop is merely an old intel i7, and I saw my GSB borrowed much computing power from the free cloud. But usually the running WFs stuck for a long time (flat curves on WF graph) and I'm not sure if this situation goes to my local machine or the cloud? So I would like to test this case locally to see if a hardware upgrade is necessary.

Thanks!
