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

Hi Peter good morning,

First of all I wanted to congratulate you for your platform and for the small community that revolves around it. It seems that there is a great spirit of collaboration and sharing.

I have used several platforms for the development of trading systems, each with its own merits and demerits.

Yours seems to me to have a slightly different approach than the others. I really like the fact that you have integrated the WFA within the software, as this saves me a lot of time in my usual development process.

I downloaded the trial version of your program a few days ago, and was very impressed with the results for the ES symbol. Lots of good systems and at first impression they seem to me also particularly stable.

Nevertheless I have a couple of questions to ask you: it seems to me that all these systems, despite the change of indicators, have very similar inputs and outputs. So much so that even if I have selected about ten systems coming from different families, they enter and exit almost synchronously all together.

The second thing I have noticed is that it is as easy to find systems that work on ES as it seems difficult to find systems that work on other symbols... It seems to me that on other symbols your platform does not have the same ease that it has with ES.

So I was wondering, besides indices, which are the other commodity futures on which the program works with the same ease and stability?

Before deciding on the purchase I would like to get a more concrete idea of how it behaves with other markets.

Many thanks again and good trading to all!



PLease try the new build
62.112

Thanks Peter.
Perfect, I installed it yesterday. In the configuration folder there are other settings too.
I will wait for a small list of Symbols, Time Frame, and Session cut (I have seen that each symbol has it's own session cut...) to try...
Meanwhile I will check some currencies like EC or the JPY.
Thanks.
Antonio

somewhere on the forum there is a link on eurusd. its a few years old.
Not a lot was done on it, but one user did get it done with + out of sample results.
Its better, esp when your new to stick to markets that are well tested with GSB
so GC, NQ/ES AND dow, roughly in that order Is what I recommend.
GSB gets more powerful over time, and so it works better and better.
It still is a big job to learn a new market.

im getting a few users comment about TS not filling them.
I don't executing use TS, so are not an expert
This could be a good setting to use.
Note the 4 seconds on exits is way to short in my opinion
slippage tends to be very high at 1500, so a order that's up to 60 seconds long has high chance of filling on a limit order
ie buy to cover next bar at close limit; //(for long exit)
sell next bar at close limit; // short exit

you can also do ie buy to cover next bar at close +0.5 {2 ticks} limit; //(for long exit)


comments and alternative ideas are weclome

Long term I'm going to make alertmon alarm when ts gets out of sync. Much more pressing things for me to work on instead of that though.

So the most stable symbols are: Gold, Es, Nq and Dow in this order.

Peter small problem. The new release of the program is crashing... and unfortunately after 3/4 hours of works... any Idea?
Am I the only one experiencing this issue?

@alica
No reports of crashes. Likely your out of ram. How much ram on the machine, how much free
any idea on the crash message? Nothing deep inside GSB has changed for a long time, so its likely to be environmental.
I have GSB on about 12 servers with no crashes unless I run out of ram. Check your windows swap file too. If you've got space make it range of 20 to 60 gb
Likely on smaller machine less is fine. Most of my machines have 256 or 384 gb of ram, so I run lots of workers and that needs some decent swap file space

Actually the standalone its using like 2GBS. And My machine has 16. I will check anyway. Which are the best settings for the symbols you mentioned before? For Example with Gold? Should I expect the same quality results the I got with ES? Is GC the "easyest" symbol to test?


Also I think that on the installer it is missing the last version of the Scripts: Value1 = GSB_Scripts_2021_04_15; Indeed doesn't compile...
The version included its 04_06...


Thanks.

I will post new eld tommrow.
most recent build has more indicators and much better settings. Most of the indicators that are new in gsb were in older eld though a few were fixed up to match ts to gsb

Server For Sale


Greetings all,

I have a server for sale and thought I might be able to find it a home with another GSB user.

It is configured as follows:

Supermicro CSE-113TQ-600WB - X9DRW-iF
Dual Intel Xeon E5-2690v2
Dell J7TNV controller
192GB RAM
Dual Mirrored 300gb 15k rpm SAS drives (redundant boot drives)
3x 1.2TB 10k rpm 12gb/sec SAS drives (configured in zfs raid)
SSD RAID system cache drive

I've been running GSB on it for not quite a year now. I'm asking $2300 USD for it. I can ship to any location at buyer's expense.

Contact me privately if you are interested and I will be happy to answer all questions.

Hello, I need to build a system that enters between 6:00 p.m. in the US east coast of NY, and leaves from 0000 hours, the next day.
How can I configure the Tradestation data?
I choose a 24 hour date?I have two files with the schedule. Is it possible to configure the two files?

Should I configure the schedule in the contract list as well?
The name of the symbol must be the same ES?
I have that name for the session of 830_1500
Should I put another name?

I don't quite understand how to name the files.
It seems quite confusing in the guide.

These are some individual trades of a NQ30 result. It's a member of a family I was looking at in v1.0.62.37

In one of the the trades (#60) there's 5995 loss, despite the 2000 stop loss. The other losing trades get stopped at 2000.
Is seems that GSB ignores the stop loss because it calculates that the SEoC is reached first. While in reality I would expect the stop loss to be hit a few minutes before the close.

In the second screenshot, you see the highest losses of this member and these were all SEoC.

Could this be a bug or does the stop loss work different than I expect?

You only posted one screen shot.
Its possible this is a bug, but if so its been there for years and no one has noticed it. I will look out for it on my side. For now you can ignore the issue as it wont affect results much. In live trading you should get the $2000 loss, not the $6000
If you can save the system in gsb, and send it to me, I might be able to reproduce it.

Hi,
I downloaded GSB for testing and run the manager and opened after starting the manager 5 workers.
I checked the key (share keys 1) in all open GSB modules - they are identical.
But the manager doesn´t work with the workers - apparently, as the CPU is at 0 to 1% .

What settings do I need to adjust, so that the manager works with the workers on my own machine?

Thanks in advance.
Arndt

you shouldn't need to touch anything, or touch share keys
just open the worker(s), and manager and hit the green run button.

if your stuck send me anydesk.com or teamviewer.com details

just
