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

Peter, when in Manager, App setttings>Public Data Directory.. standard is Data

I would like to move over to Dropbox to use for GSB... when i change this above, to DROPBOX > DATA

What will this affect? does this affect everything inside data folder? so i could just copy DATA folder from C GSB now, to dropbox, and then change as above, and DATA folder in C GSB could be deleted since it will be of no use?

Regards
Daniel

Daniel, I will share my experience when doing this in the past. I know that Peter has some changes on the queue that should allow this, but I am not sure if this is complete yet.

If you do this, GSB will still by default continue to look in GSB\Data for settings, macros, data files, etc. You can do it, but you will have to walk directory to your Dropbox every time you try to access any of these, save settings files, etc.

As I mentioned, I tried this but gave in and went back to standard location as it was too fraught with issues of forgetting to change over to my preferred location. When this is fixed, it will be very handy for sharing configs, data, etc. among a group of collaborates for example.

Thanks Randy, Appreciate your input, yes was afraid it was not as easy as i thought :).. then i just wait until Peter has finished the new feature fix for this... Regards

Hi,
I don't understand why there are different number of trades from multicharts to GSB sometimes . (both list of trades attached)
I've exported USDJPY data from 01/01/2010 until now,

All test have been made with scripts -> MultiCharts -> Matcheck (still don't understand the difference with Livetrading, it's not only with date, also the generated trades are different)

I try to build a USDJPY system, with this Session:
Monday 00:00 to 23:59
Tuesday 00:00 to 23:59
Wednesday 00:00 to 23:59
Thursdary00:00 to 23:59
Friday 00:00 to 23:59
Sunday 16:00 to 23:59 (As you can see in Session.png)

But If I see the list of trades from Gsb and I noticed some alarming discrepancies.
The first one is the number of trades 101 for GSB and 120 for MC
The first six trades are identical then the differences begin, please see difference.png attached.

For the first 7 trades everything works fine, and after that differences began.

I've check other scripts but all of them seems wrong.

I do not really understand If I'm doing somenthing wrong or could be a bug.

Now I will try to generate some ES system with default setting to see if there are some differences also there.

does anyone have any ideas?

Hi, I use MC and GSB, but do not experience these discrepancies on any symbol, can it have to do with your Timezone settings? session templates? different on trading server and dev pc ? exact same chart you exported data from, that you are using to test the GSB system on ? i have never used 24hour data like this, perhaps this could be something to look into ..

I dont think its a bug, its something in your settings, data, that probably is causing this.

Regards

A tip would be to save a separate workspace for each symbol you trade and use in GSB, and here you have you chart that you export data from, and then you have a copy of this with your specific timeframes on same workspace... with this setup you always can be sure that you test systems on exact same data setup that you exported from....

Daniel Unfortunately I didn't solve my problem.

Today I've asked a colleague of mine (he's a forex trader) for setting up the corrent evironment (session, timezone ecc) and we create a session FX identical for both environment (SessionMC_GSB.PNG) after that I've create a couple of system (just for testing) with same session session (usdjpy.png) then i copied from scripts -> Multicharts mathcheck to Multichart, obiouvsly with same session (sessionusdjpy.png) and I've spent a lot of hour with my colleague trying to find out where the differences can arise.
I've created a xls and i've checked the first 50 trades (listtrades.xlsx).
The first six are identical. same date and same price in both platforms, After the "sx-Nthdy" (signal column trade number 6) it start making mistake. and every time I see "sx-nthday" (or "lx-nthDy) it "restart" working well, and sometimes a trade open is good and close is wrong or viceversa.

what I wonder, if I had missed the session how could the first 6 trades (form 28/2/2010 to 15/4/2010) how can work well?

i've attached the mc code also (usdjpy.pla)

I'm at my wit's end.

Peter for your experience, is it a configuration error or something else?

Moresi, if you try to find out if its a symbol issue or not.... have you same error on all other symbols ? produce systems for ES and NG... then make same test, still discrepancy ? use day sessions only... no issue ? then use no close trade end of day.. still no issue? then i assume its something to do with your symbol for some reason.... then i would try existing symbol the Fx.. change to close end of day.. issue?
Try to limit to max 1 trade per day, test

Have you checked tradereport in GSB and compared to MC, same decimals etc on symbol... figures looks as in MC?

Just try to isolate one thing at the time and rule out things...

If not anything from above, then its above my paygrade, perhaps someone else can help with more experience than me of MC here?

Hi Daniel,
sorry, I didn't notice you wrote me.

First of all I have to say Peter helps a lot with this "issue", and he founds for forex we ha have to set to 24/5 (well, with MC) and not with my custom session (even if market opens on monday).

With 24/5 session on GSB and default on MC it works great

HI,
There's one thing I didn't understand on GSB.
On Performance Filter - Training I set Min. Net Profit as 1 (Well, it's the default), so I imagine in the Unique systems tab I should find always systems with positive fitness and Net Profit, but when GSB generates the systems there are always a lot of system with negative Fitness and negative Net profit.

I don't understand the reason.

Hi Moresi, Peter can correct me if i am wrong, but i assume you use nth function, which make the setting in training only filters min values you set, to be valid for IS while OOS your strategy performs worse and overall gives you a negative fitness / profit..

Hi,
always about cloud workers. If I have 10 processes with 10 different tickers in the cloud workers and I want to save the settings to test one of those, how can I do it?
if you look at the image, on the left there is es on the right NG, how do I copy all settings from right to left?
Thanks

Your not the first to ask this.
you never touch any settings in workers, apart from share key and optional cache size. All other settings come from manager

Never come across this before,

Are you saying that you are seeing another GSB user running a worker on the cloud that is running on your pc, and you want to copy this other users settings to yourself ? have i understood your correct ?

Yes Daniel,
but I think is quite usual. If you have a cloud worker you can have more kind of jobs, one for Cl, one for NG and so on. So, for example, if your cloud worker is working on ES, you can select a system with CL in your systems's list, in your left panel you still see the es settings, but in the tab settings in the upper "part", you will see the CL settings.

And I don't know how I can save those settings.
I hope I was clear

I don't understand, I'm asking if it's possible to save those settings and open them up from a manager.
Are you practically telling me it's not possible to save those settings?
is it right?

thanks
