Automation is now fully working going through the secondary filters.
I want to finish all cl work in the next few days. If anyone has spare cpu time, please email me your share keys. I will then share the entire results file.

I kind of sense that the macro table is used for all opt settings in your frontend pic ?

Looking forward to test the toggle trough settings feature, it means though that one needs to be able to export output stats as one can see it now in gui.


there is now two custom macro fields,
The version you tested did not yet have this feature
I will get you a copy in < 24 hours. The exit manger option is buggy and managers stay open when you say they should close. Apart from that the build works fine

Hi Peter,

Thanks,
Can you please explain logic of the macro,

Since you now have a macro table that seems to be general ? it seems to be on a higher level, and be valid for ALL opt settings you use?

In the version i am using now, i control each opt setting and their individual macros used.

So i am not clear in the logic of your new version ? can you explain please.

Many thanks

Hi Daniel
im not clear on what you need to know.
green builds systems, chooses the green indicators and saves settings
this will be the same for all markets.

Build however has all the dates you need, and this will vary, but i am using the same dates in my cl video.
Im not clear if this has answered your questions.
Automation is going well, but still some tweaks before release to all users

Sorry, i used the wrong word should have been Auto Software GUI "macro table" on the left side, i am not unclear of any specific macro.

I mean that today, in auto software, in the GUI on the left side, i use settings group, to add an opt setting and then macros i want to use on that opt setting. If i want to use another opt setting i just click on add in GSBSettingsGroup2Collection Editor, and add another opt setting and macros i want to use.. so this is what i do today.

However in the new GUI you showed a picture of, on the left side you seem to add macros before you even chose opt setting.. so my question what is the logic of that, is that macro table used for ALL opt settings you add in settings? or can you still use specific macros per opt setting as i can now ?

I hope this clears out the misunderstanding.

If not, perhaps you can just explain the logic of the gui where you seem to add macros before deciding which opt setting that its for ?

Many thanks

On the left there is green, green/orange, build and 2 customs
These are the only choices you have for pre-defined macros.
You can of course change them at any time.
The obn the right you can chose your pre-defined, green,greenorange, build,custom1,custom2
Hope this helps
A video should be done before long. AU needs many tiny changes, but its working 100% ok

Hi Peter,

Thank you, and since this macro table did not exist before, what decides which opt setting these macros is used on ?

Since as it is now, you ad macros per opt setting when you click on settings.
So you can ad opt setting1, and then run macro 1 2 3 and 4 on it..

then you ad opt setting2, and then run macro 14 5 on that opt setting etc

So my question is, the macro table on the left on your picture is being used on what opt setting? and will you still have possibility to run different macros per specific opt setting as i can do now in existing version.

Daniel,
you choose the opt settings, and the macros.
Note you can use unlimited op settings that run in sequence.
ie you could do CL build, then NG BUILD.
or CL 15 then CL 30
The docs for todays build is here
https://trademaid.info/gsbhelp/GSBAutomation.html
You can run a total of 5 macros per GSB Automation, but you can also run mutiple GSB automations and
run any groups of 5 macros, but only 5 at a time.
ie macrogreen
ie macrogreenOrange
ie macrobuild4cl
ie macroCustom1cl
ie macroCustom2cl


Then saved as another set of macros in GSB AU
ie macrogreen
ie macrogreenOrange
ie macrobuild4NG
ie macroCustom1NG
ie macroCustom2NG

Thanks Peter, i have got it running as i like know, and logic seems to be clear, GUI was a little different and that caused my confusion about the macros.. Any reason why limit custom to only 1 and 2?
Only thing left to get to work as i like, is the stats export...

Out of curiosity, are you or Nick and Randy using Python to compile all excel files when done to one table for comparison ?

Thanks

Daniel,

I've not spent much time with automation just yet, but I can say that my plan will be to use python to analyze the output. Mainly because it is the tool I am most comfortable with. There may be other ways to do this, but I don't know of them offhand.

I know Nick has been doing more work with the automation and probably has some other insight.

Daniel,

I'm also still waiting for the stats export to be complete before automating that part.
Right now I manually copy and paste the results into a Google Sheet for further analysis.
My eventual goal is to store all these results in a database for analysis and record keeping.
Will probably be using python to do all that.

Nick, Randy,

Ok i see, thanks...

I been using the Automation only since release, and it speeds things up for sure, very happy with it.
And yes Nick, i am also using copy paste as yourself, for analysis and compilation of results.
I have not been able to get stats export to work in a way i can use it, so copy paste from gui is best option for now.

A python script to compile all the hundreds of exported stats sheets to a nice formated table in one single sheet is for now just a nirvana.

Cheers

Hi Nick,
full stats export has been availaible for at least a week. Is this working for you?
Go into the macro build+stats and turn custom export to false to get full stats.
I thought only Daniel had failure for stats to export. Anyone else have this issue?

Just to point out, i dont have a complete failure for the actual export.... its just that what is exported i can not use, i can not control what is exported and format is strange..
What i want is what i can see in the GUI frame, that i now by hand export by copy paste..

Also i woke up to having a few crashes with exception error, of new released auto software... i saw that new workers and managers was released... i think this has something to do with it, because before that update new release was working all good.
I had a crash with new release yesterday but this was after i pasted a very long sentence to the header input, after that it crashed also.
with crash i mean exception error.
But tonights several crashes i believe has to do with update.

best email me the exception report.
Ive had not issues yet 58.55, but found one Italian user than has Italian number formats in windows, which caused lots of bugs and mismatchs.
The short term fix was windows to standard usa number formats.
Im running about 250workers and all ok that I can see:)

Auto tool is using path to manager version before updated one.. and i just correlated the crashes overnight of auto tool to the update that happened ... before that all was good... so its not manager that crashed... it was auto software..

It also crashed one time before the update, but that happened after i populated the header text

Cheers

there is a option to read version.txt to get the version of the manager
If an update is done, version.txt might update.
I need to check with programer if this can happen while au is running
you can do path mode exe instead of auto to fix this issue
im happy to see any exception report too.

New feature in GSB.
we tell automation that we are finished as soon as systems made. This means we can start building the next lot of systems before stats is done.
This saves a number of minutes each loop as we dont need to wait for stats

Somehow, AU somehow is not providing data for elapse and cumulative time, very strange...

Edit, just got numbers after first one was finished, so i assume time numbers dont get populated while running, Never thought about it before.

There are refinements to au and gsb next week, but you must run 58.58 or later build of gsb on the new gsb
(New gsb and AU not released yet)
its got icon update from au to gsb, and the ability for gsb to tell au its finished b4 you run stats.This speeds things up buy a few minutes every time you run stats.
There is also auto update on AU when you open it.
Apologies for lack of free cloud usage. Im now doing 101 indicators, with 3 pass indicator test with 12 different secondary filters.
Even with >200 workers, its a day or twos works.
Thanks to all those users who donated some cloud power to me. You will get some good research out of this.
Im offline till monday morning Australia time. Have a good weekend.

Peter

I've been attempting to get automation to work, but I get a timeout every 2 minutes for each step in the automation list. I'm not receiving feedback as to the error, but no instance of GSB Manager opens, yet it says "done" after 2 minutes. Any feedback on where I may be setting up the tool incorrectly? Path is pointed to the correct location for GSB manager, the option settings, and app settings. Both settings files work fine directly in the GSB Manager.

Thanks.

Likely cause is you are running the tool without a matching macro
Copy the macros in the macro subfolder of AU \MacrosToAddIntoGSBMacroFolder and put into GSB macro folder
Then select the macros in AU
There is no error messeage in GSB for running invalid macro file, but it gives an exception in the exception folder

OK, now I'm past that step. Thank you. I pointed the macro file location to the original folder, but it requires being in the GSB macro folder? I regularly have file pointing problems withing GSB, not sure if this is just me, due to Google Drive perhaps.

Next question - for members 0 and 1, can I use the same Opt Settings file? Will the macro make the necessary changes to switching from 2 to 3 indicators, etc? How do I know what fields the macros change? The time zone of my data is not market time, so I've had some troubles with the macros changing the trading time to something incorrect for my data.

Thanks.

I still havnt looked into your google drive issue yet.
Teh build macro changes from 2 to 3 indicators.
Edit the macro and you will see what changes it makes.
green just builds systems and selects gree
build changes indicators to 3, nth to all, builds systems then does stats.
The stats dates are what I used in the cl video. None of those macros change time,
but the one to generate CL setup will. You need to change this macro if your time differs.
