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

Im sure this has discussed before and I have gone back in the forums to see if I can resolve this on my own. Im currently doing market validation on KC (cofee), the first coupe runs I did worked and the systems showed results in tradestation similar to what GSB was showing, but now the last few runs with various other normalization and modes are giving me systems that are showng very different results from the GSB analyzer. Ive tried to make sure that the times frames where the same etc but things still seem to be off. Any Ideas what I may be doing wrong?

there is a great deal to go wrong with human error. There is one user who has miss-matches for reasons I dont yet know. GSB has got internal diagnostics to check things if all else fails. Being human, we find our own mistakes hard to see, and other peoples mistakes easier. Thats why if stuck i will look at your setup via teamviewer.com when your free. email me your details

turn moc off, add say a $2000 stop, $3000 profit target
Likely go long only.
Day trade is easier, and much less risk. I know one user who held ES on friday night due to an execution error. It was > 10,000 loss

good morning, just checking if "inputs enabled" is still available, doesn't seem to be under Scripts anymore? (I have advanced on)

Inputs Enabled
If disabled, inputs will be replaced by variables in the exported scripts. It is wise to set this to false. If its true, and you cut and paste TS/MC code to an existing strategy, then the previous inputs will be remembered by TS/MC. This is a very common error for TS/MC <> GSB.

I cant see inputs enabled on my gsb. Regardless I likely would remove the feature if it was there.
You need to change the code from vars to inputs in ts/mc
I got a support issue per week over this issue when i used inputs.
If you replace system1 in ts by system 2, the inputs of system1 are rememberd.
= missmatch
solution is delete all text of system 1, verify, then paste in text of system2

The time slot starts at 5 p.m. and ends the next day at 9 a.m.That can be configured in GSB, to be able to join sessions of two days?

It took me some time to get this going
It can work with sf CLosed, but much more work to get systems and few trades

Font size problem - text overlaps on high res monitor


Hi -

I'm just starting my evaluation period. I have a 3480x2160 monitor, running latest Windows 10, and the font size for many items is too large...the text overlaps or doesn't display completely. I've added an attachment .png which shows the problem.

I also searched the forum...there is one other post I found, but I didn't understand the answer well enough to fix the problem

lel3866, go to your Settings > System > Display and play around with the scaling settings. You might need to set it to 100% and see if it looks better.

hi,
Following the general rules,
If I found the same indicator in main and secondary filters, which is the good practise?

What do you do in this case?
Thank you

Hi Moresi,

Personally I would use this indicator in both places.

But you can test it yourself what's best.

If your new, I would recommend not using CI.
When you purchase there is access to > 100 indicators, and the list is growing with more planned.
There is a lot to learn of new users. Personally I am not even using CI myself despite the understandable reason why people like to use them. Long term we are going to have support for writing CI via user dll

I just wanted to create something using ADX, RSI, and Keltner Channel, instead of three indicators already chosen.

You can force GSB to do this, but it will not work well.
see screen shot.
GSB finds what works best in its own architecture of systems by trying billions of combinations. Forcing GSB to find something defeats the entire purpose of GSB.
The methodology section would be a good read. Collectively years of GSB user time has gone into this - it works and is best to be followed.

Hi Peter,

How do you suggest I set up a simple spread in GSB?

I'm looking to trade the price difference between two contracts.

Thank you.

Im not sure. First of all are you trading a contract the price data represents the spread you want to trade? How many years back does the contract go?
You might have to make a synthetic contract.
ie price = data2-data1

Exactly....data2 - data1. So, basically I should just set that up in excel? And what type of file export should I use for the actual data file GSB will use?

Hi bizgozcd
excel could work, as could ts.
If ts you would need code to export the date time o h l c upvol,downvol etc

Various questions


Hello,
I'm evaluating a purchase of GSB and I'd like to ask You some questions and informations that I didn't found:

1 Is possible with GSB to create strategies to be used only as assistance (as signal or arrows printed on charts for example) in day trading that will make me execute about an average of 10 daily operations? (only arrows or signals on charts and no automatic buy sell).

2 Do these scripts/strategies work in real time with renko bars and range bars (I am a Nt8 user)? Only time charts?

3 What Profit factor reasonable value should I expect (on the average) from a good assembled strategy?

4 Can Gsb provide strategies useful for just quick scalps/scalping during daytrading?

5 Do these startegies work on charts where there are already present other indicators and oscillators?

Kindest regards (and sorry for all these questions!)

Albert
