Will advise when fixed.

Question on building overnight systems.
Suppose I use a 5 day exit (ie...30 x 65 minute bars on ES). What happens if a trade is entered the week that the Nth period is over? Does the exit
take place during the next Nth period?

Its been years since I've discussed this with the programer.
No trades should enter when nth is over.
So I think the entry will be skipped, and if a trade is open it will be closed at the end of the nth period where entries were allowed.

Impressions after GSB trial
I've just finished my trial period and am in the process of deciding whether to buy GSB.
I have lots of comments and even more questions, but here's a quick summary.
Pro:
--- The program's speed is stunning. Really stunning.
--- Having some access to cloud servers is an unexpected resource.
--- Peter responded right away to an email, and the forum looks active and a good spot to find and get from the admin and others answers to questions.
--- I was able to build a dummy day-trading system for ES for Tradestation that provides an apparently profitable basis to build on.
Con:
--- I had some problems understanding and using the user interface.
--- I was frequently unable to find what I wanted in the user manual.
--- I had trouble getting started. I tried to follow the GSB methodology and the videos on how to get started, but got bogged down
when I tried things on my own.
I guess my primary question is "How difficult is it to get comfortable with the interface?" My biggest hurdles were understanding
the details of how to manipulate the Favorites (A-D) and choosing manually the universe of features.

Welcome loclhero, just a few comments here...
Regarding the Pros, note that ES is one of the easier markets to prospect in. We are still learning a ton about that market and others. Expect to
spend a bit more time as you move out of ES into other markets.
Regarding the Cons..
1. The user interface is not super intuitive. After about 1.5 years using the software, I am still trying to figure it out and I spend almost every
day working on GSB systems. There is a lot there and a lot to learn.
2. The user manual is lagging the current version of GSB. Peter has been focusing on features and not so much on the documentation. Things are
changing quickly and given he is a small shop, it is hard to keep up in docs with changes. I approve of his focus on the features vs. the docs as the
changes to GSB are allowing us to successfully expand to new markets. Plenty of people here to answer questions if you get stuck.
3. Some of the older videos will get you down the wrong path based on current understanding of the software. I recommend that you focus on Peter's
most recent videos on the Gold market as to the current state-of-the-art on using GSB.
4. Regarding your specific issue with the Favorites categories, these are really just places to mark systems to for further processing. You will
likely want to consider the Au automation program that Peter has created as it makes good use of the macro running capabilities of GSB which then use
the Favorites categories to test and move forward system candidates. Not sure if there is a video on this process yet, but it is an important process
to grasp from a productivity standpoint.
Be prepared to get frustrated and spend lots of time redoing previous exploration runs because of some tiny setting you forgot, data that was not
quite perfect, etc. It is just part of the drill.
And be prepared to come back to the forum to ask questions. There are a great group of people that are happy to help.

Great to hear from you. GSB is powerful & hence complex. Its also under rapid development in features, and how to use the current features.
Im sure you will get stuck, but when you do you need to ask for support
The direction we are going is everything driven via macros.. and GSB automation.
That gets really simple once your setup is correct.
The gold videos are the most recent and best to look at. Methadolgy is what I spend most of my time on, and its always finding ways to improve. That's
a great situation to be in, rather than have stagnated, or reaching the point of diminishing returns for effort used. In the next few days, I will
start to public nasdaq methadolegy. NQ is going bolistic right now.

possibly more of a TradeStation question than gsb but i have noticed the free ES system included has been taking more trades than on backtest. see
snips for examples from the last 2 trading days. any idea what might have been causing this? i have been running it on @MESH21, timezone is local and
session 0830-1500

try @es.d and @mes.d
Ive seen before the symbol with the month trades different from just @es.d
ts certainly does this from time to time. MC users can get this too at times, but I suspect less often
I got just one trade in the last 4 days

Try also to right click on the chart, choose settings/account orders and positions and uncheck the box/boxes. Otherwise you will se trades from other
charts/strategies with the same symbol.

Thanks Peter. What about CL/NG/SI/GC? I haven't seen them mismatch in the same way but tradestation doesn't seem to accept @CL.D or @NG.D - is the
symbol for them different? I have been using the month as above

you mean for live trading?
@clj21 should work
You need to roll it over when required

Sorry, recently switched from Multicharts to tradestation so just a follow up - is @mes.d a tradeable symbol or is there some kind of symbol mapping
required? A recent order was rejected for this reason

You need to add a month to it currently @mesm1.d I believe in Multicharts

I purchased a license to GSB. I'm sorry --- I can't find instructions on how to log in to the Paid Users Forum so I can download the Resource
Manager.
My trial password doesn't work. I have a License ID and Activation Password but I don't see how they apply.

Been awhile since I went through this, so not entirely sure but I think Peter will need to enable your ability to get into the private part of the
forum. He should be waking up shortly.
I am guessing that the License ID and activation is what you need to activate GSB. If it doesn't prompt you when you start it, hold the shift key
will starting it and it will walk you through the setup.
Once you get access to RM, you can run that in eval mode for some period of time. When ready, you need to start the license registration process in RM
and send the two codes to Peter for your keys (while keeping the license window open).

Hi David
This is now fixed.
URL for RM will not work.
Your email on Paypal wasn't exactly the same as forum, so I couldn't find it.

Its @mesm21.d not @mesm1.d
m is the current month. rolls each quarter.

How to avoid losing work if GUI is not responding?
Does GSB do any checkpointing, where it saves intermediate results while systems are being built?
I've run into the situation a couple of times where I've lost GUI response in the morning to a Manager and Worker and so I was unable to recover the
many systems that had been created overnight.
Alternatively, I don't suppose there's any command line access to GSB that would allow me to terminate workers and managers gracefully so as to
preserve the computations they've done?
Thanks for any insights or pointers.

Lclhero, it is possible to save systems and there are configurations to allow GSB to save systems that pass some performance filter, just as you use
to market systems for inclusion in FavA, FavB, etc. However, in my experience, I've never gone back to look at anything that is autosaved and it has a
tendency to chew up a lot of disk space. I know I and most other GSB users turn off this feature.
I think the bigger question is why you feel the GSB Manager is becoming unresponsive. I'm running GSB Manager 7 days a week and have not seen this
behavior. Also running hundreds of system building runs over the course of days and don't see this, so I would suspect some other problem that needs
to be addressed.
Your reference to Manager/Worker is also a bit confusing and I wonder if you are doing something you shouldn't or have some other expectation. Workers
are kind of transparent to the system building process. I don't ever think about the Workers and what they are doing (except in the rare case I cannot
produce systems in a build run).
I know I and others have written this several times and don't mean to harp on this but I think the best starting point for figuring out how to use GSB
is probably Peter's latest GC videos.
If the issue with losing response from Manager continues to happen, I suspect Peter will want to jump on remotely and help you figure it out.
I assume you are running on a machine with plenty of memory and cpu.

If GUI is not responsive, make sure you have ram free, CPU not maxed out,
and good-sized windows swap file. perhaps the range of 20 to 60 GB
A reboot of the machine is also a good idea. GSB fast at the expense of being ram hungry
