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

It hasnt been done. Im still not at the end of my research on gold. Thats a great problem to have as it means there is scope to improve.

If GSB was a stagnant in development, you would get nice and consistent docs.
GSB however is doing lots of unique - ground breaking things with rapid improvement over time. The cost of this is docs that are changing a lot.
Best to look at the newest material, and then go to oldest
so gc is newest, followed by CL
I totally understand how you could be over whelmed. We are here to help :)

I can confirm that RTY is hard even with all incredible features in GSB and AU. Could you recommend a market (except ES,NQ,NG,FDAX, GC,CL,S,EC) that's more easy for "medium-beginners"?


I cant as I spend many months on each market
sqqq could be done short only, but havnt done it for 3 years.
xlv long only overnight.
Im becoming an expert in very narrow field. But what I learn from one market flows over to other markets. Also the indicator set gets bigger, and that is becoming significant too. Im noticing on GC the last 60+ indicators are as good or better then the first ones. There is still lots of room for growth even on GC which ive spent 3 months or so on. Even this week im learning very significant new things.
I suspect Bruce has the widest experience, so I will ask him


I've covered a good number of markets using GSB to build systems and as Peter has indicated previously in this thread and others, traditionally, some markets are certainly a lot easier than others. However that being said some of the very latest tools Peter has intorduced like Automation that has enabled testing against different session times, SFs and EntryModes has now brought new opportunities with some of the more challenging assets (ie. US, YM, HG, etc.). ES, NQ, CL,GC, SI are markets I would recommend to any beginner or even more experienced GSB users build systems against, you'll learn a lot quickly from the std methodologies in the help and there is now so much detail in this forum for you to work with before broadening your effort. Building the foundation of knowledge on those core markets has worked for me (ES is by far the 'easiest') and as newer features become available in GSB I find that I'm circling back to those core markets to see what the impact is on my current systems. IHTH.

scaling display


not sure if it is the right place to ask this question.

I have accessed my server from a new laptop 13". The scaling for the GSB manager is so off - very tiny shift - can't read. All the other applications and even RM look fine.
Any advice on how to adjust the settings? (Tried windows settings/ display/ - not working, and other applications are displayed normally anyway).

Thanks!

The Walk Forward process takes a lot more time and ram power for each strategy. Anyway to use the cloud servers for the WF function? or is that covered under the $10/day server hire?
Thanks

you can run upto 4 wf at once on local manager, more than that they que.
You can also send them to the free cloud, but small chance wf jobs get killed if a free cloud worker gets terminated at any stage.
If you follow the methodology, and use family function, you should only have say 2 to 15 unique systems you need to wf.
The newer methodology with families is much more efficient.
Its covered in the last 2 gold videos
Hire a server is very good option if your low on cpu power, or just want more cpu power

Update to bfan
if you have 50,000 systems, then are looking at the top 250/300 -> top few in favourites B , then use the family feature, you get very few systems to consider doing wf on.
This is covered in the last 2 gold videos.

VSS VS. Prams Anc Stability

Example
Trading on 30m, Verification on 29m/ 31min. Strategy 1 has less VSS degradation % but lower Prams Anc Stability too. Strategy 2 has more degradation% but high Prams Anc Stability. Which one should be a better system? Thanks

verification on 29/31 is not something I have done for 2 years or so.
I consider it obsolete way of verifying systems
Look at the 2 gold videos, and this material.
Note the gold videos are newer than the docs.
https://trademaid.info/gsbhelp/Methodology.html
https://trademaid.info/gsbhelp/Videos.html (gold videos at the end)
I spend about 20 hours a week on methodology for the last few years, so its an area of constant growth / change.
Its hard being new with GSB, as there is a lot to learn as its such a powerful app, and we are doing things that are unique to every one else. Good news is there is support to help.

Thanks for the reply Peter!
Are the Macros setting files available on the paid version for GC and any other markets?
Also, sometimes I still struggle to match the results on TS. I double checked on the session time and everything, but still cant figure out what need to be adjusted.

here is the gc data and macros
run the file "install-into-GSB.bat"
I think the GC & CL macros are on the file repository on the forum
https://trademaid.info/forum/post.php?action=edit&fid=1&tid=...
Make sure you on 60.64 or newer build of GSB. The trail user build was updated this week
https://trademaid.info/forum/viewthread.php?tid=1
If results dont match, its normally session time wrong, or your data you work from could be different time zone to whats on your ts etc.
Cant help more than that unless we do anydesk.com / teamviewer etc. email me

It is strange that each time I open up the cloud worker it automatically run its default for GC market no matter what I have on the manager and the other worker. Please advise how I can make it work in synch with the manager. Thanks

it doesnt matter what it opens when you run the worker.
it will update from the manager a few minutes after the manager starts

Well, it does not update from the manager. Tried many times, it kept running its own thing and come up with own systems on GC always.

Thanks for asking.
No, not close to starting.
While I could do it now, there is still so much scope to improve - i dont want to release a video and then say there yet another way to skin a cat thats is better.
(i do like cats :) )
Im actually very happy with the gold systems im trading, but think I can improve still.
The indicator set has expanded a lot, and more in the pipeline, and adjustable parameters (by the user) is going to give more upside, + I have a significantly different indicator selection method I need to try.
GSB needs updates for this, and Im waiting on that.
I then need to re-test all my new methods / indicators on a second gold session time with a different secondary filter.

The log looks quite normal. It seems the Manager isn't reaching available Workers after some time (18 idle vs. 6 busy).

Piet,
i see that rm looks to over allocate workers, as it starts then, then kills them later due to cpu being high so have some idle is not much of an issue.
I suspect however I have seen the same issue on my machines. I will chat to the programmer about it. Not much of an issue if your cpu is just under 100%

Thanks

Methodology and trading period pages has some conflicting info on correct set up for "Globe end dates" and "Dates".

To go thru the first pass(find indicators) and to build the first 50k systems after the first pass, Should we in both cases set "Globe end date" to current date(2021) and "Dates" to e.g. 2017?

Thanks

the gold macros have the dates in them. All in sample was till 20170630.
If the 1 pass indicator test was done till 2021, it will not be considered out of sample.
global dates are 2021 but this is filtered by dates
I think your confusing global dates with dates
you can view the macro log to see what periods are put in stats a,b,c,d,e
