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

Correct, and the situation where you go long and short at the same instance, is one of the hardest issues to fix.
There are numerous ts/mc to tws bridges and you might want to buy one. Thats the first feature I would look for

Yishke, a helpful tip, in general, you dont really want unique stops per system... as an initial trial run for a market, you just need to run a larger stop, just use 2-3k as an example,, run standard gsb setup from peter, it does not matter if its not perfect... take a decent system or a few, put it in ts or mc, run optimiser for stop 500-3000.. you now have a pretty good understanding what the market needs... then back to gsb and use this stop for your process run... in your process you can then in the end, finetune your stop within to see how the character of the systems built as a total and metrics change if you for example change between 2 or 2500.. Or you disregard this tip, and go your own way.. lots of options :)


I came from the position that determining the stop or profit taking would be a variable that GSP would measure the best

@Yishke, GSB can do this, but the amount of combinations of systems and parameters is so large, in practice I feel this will not work well.
I found even when i put a gsb system into TS/EWFO, im getting better results keeping the stop large and fixed in value.
The stop is often something I optimize manually as the very last thing in a system to be tweaked.
Generally I have an idea of the stop size to use, and all similar systems should work best with similar stops
On the swing long term ES systems, there can be a fair range of valid stops / pt - and I sometimes diversify these to make the systems less correlated.
Daniel made a similar comment somewhere in the forum too, saying similar things (about 2 months ago)




Thanks received (1):

Swing wont work as well as moc for ES. Start by putting appsettings - allowing alloos to pass. (alloosallow.txt)
Allow the training metrics under app settings to be loose too, then tighten them up as you get some systems coming.

Thanx Peter.

I was referring to your response to OP "Start by putting appsettings - allowing alloos to pass. (alloosallow.txt)"

What is "alloos" and the setting you reference. I understand the Long only works better...

Please clarify

Thanx

I have no idea on alloosallow.txt. Perhaps it was from gsb many years ago. Can you show me where you got this info from? Its not in the current documentation

The date of the post is 2017. GSB was primitive then and that feature no longer exits in that form. Refer to the picture I posted above.
Very few posts that old are going to be useful now.
