I had the same message. GSB was trying to send you an email to tell you the GSB run is finished

You can activate this by going to C:\dropbox\GSB\GSB (Managers).
And opening the file GmailSettings.xml in i.e. NotePad



myName@gmail.com
myname@gmail.com
MyPassword


I had to lower my gmail security settings to be able to let this work properly. Don't know if this is wise to do...

The next build of gsb gmial.exe has a message that pops up saying you need to enter your gmail details.
But im going to disable sending email as a default setting. I found it useful so I get an email when GSB has finished a run. However lots of people are going to have the same issue. Sound file alone is simplier

TextGSB 38.22 build. October 17 update.
Please update 38.19 build.
38.22 has critical bug fixes, and significant changes to default app settings that should give improvement to overall performance.
Bugs were not all systems from workers pass to manager.
Right hand side performance metrics don't always appear. (this bug is not fully fixed)
update to gmail.exe to give you a message if you haven't populated the gmailsettings.xml file
Improvements to back test termination.
download file at the first page of this thread.

I tested version 38.19, with 2 workers on 1 computer, and confirm the errors reported above. I will try version 38.22 today. Presumably the setup.exe downloads and overwrites 38.19. Or, is it a separate install?

I still have version 33.1 installed. It doesn't show up in Revo Uninstaller as an installed programme. However, I need to uninstall it because there is too much clutter. But if I activate its uninstall.exe file, will this only remove 33.1 or affect 38.19 and/or 38.22?

In the doc it says that any changes to settings will be reflected in the manager and all workers. I didn't see this in practice. I changed the division operator "/" in the manager to "enable" and saved the settings. But when I loaded in the workers, this change was not reflected. I had to change it manually.

for each beta version, any chance we can get standalone zip files along with the installer files?

i prefer the standalone at the moment, as its easier to switch them out for each new beta version

tested divide in 38.22 and it populated to the worker. Try renaming dropbox\gsb to dropbox\gsb.old and re-install worst case.

vip. 38.22 standalone settings have random seed as zero. (advanced mode on) This should not be zero but blank. Otherwise all systems generated will be the same every time you run GSB. Its for diagnostic / bench-marking reasons only
This is fixed in GSBSETUP38.22d.tri.exe
The exe etc is still the same build.
No need to install the new build, just change the setting.

the exe has a new file name, so wont over-write.
app settings etc will over-write IF the file name is the same.
GSB doesn't install anything to registry or other paths apart from dropbox\gsb
apart from the desktop shortcuts. So there is no need for un-installer

So it's fine to uninstall 33.1. I am currently testing 38.22b.tri and the random seed box is blank, NOT zero.

I am testing using my own data, placed in the "price data" folder on the Lan drive. I'm not sure what the Indicators Data and Workplaces folders do, but I didn't update them. Maybe I should have done it.

The data-set is ES 15min + 4 secondary, 5 indicators and 2 operators. There is 1 manager and 2 workers on 1 machine.

It is working. However, there is an odd problem. The RHS panel is fine in one of the workers but isn't working in the manager and the other worker.

The manager appears to be aggregating the systems correctly.

Strangely, the settings that I changed and saved in the manager wasn't reflected in the first worker I loaded, but worked automatically in the second one. Perhaps manually changing and saving settings in the 1st worker was picked up in the 2nd. The latter also has the correct RHS panel.

Windows Defender is blocking the download of GSBSETUP38.22d.tri.exe, saying it has a virus.

That's painful. I didn't get the issue on my machine at all. There is no virus. I can submit a false positive report, but there is likely to be a new build in 48 hours, so not much point.
thanks for informing me.
I have done a thread on the issue here.
http://www.trademaid.info/forum/viewthread.php?tid=64#pid840
I will also provide exe files without a installer as this has been requested too.

Using 38.24. Did not change the default directory for the data and just added new data to it. The data file that these files went to was under the Dropbox_GSB_GSB(Manager)_Data_PriceData
I then prepared two custom indicators and they were placed in DropBox_GSB(Manager)_Data_IndicatorsData. The issue is when I try to load these indicators, the application can't find them. It looks like I have to move the files to GSB_Data(DropBox Shared Folder)_Indicators Data where the program can find them.

Shouldn't the program find these custom indicators under the Manager area, but for the stand alone version it is placing them in the master Data file. I believe that if I changed the default directory to the shared folder, it would place the files in the correct directory.

I will try this after the present stand alone run.

The application may be correct, and I could be doing something wrong, but I think the load custom files is pointing to the incorrect directory

After I moved the data to DropBox Shared folder, and changed that folder to the default, and moved the price data and the indicator data, it found the custom indicators. When I did the run, the right side is not updating. This is the Stand Alone version with the default folder set at Dropbox_GSB_Data(DrobBox shared Folder)_ Price Data and Indicator Data. When I kept the data in the Manager data files, the right side did update correctly

I have a separate thread for this topic.
http://www.trademaid.info/forum/viewthread.php?tid=64
I uploaded raw GSB code to virustotal.com. It reduced claimed virus from 4 out of about 65 to 2 out of 65. This means even UN-obfuscated coded gives false positives. Nothing I can do about this until I get stable release, then I can submit false positive. There is no guarantee virus software vendors will act however. I submitted a report a week ago with no response.

I am going to look into both your issues. Likely that custom indicators needs a tweak. Can you send me a screen shot of the right hand side, and see if the expand works on the ones you are missing. This bug has been hard in that its very intermittent, and hard to reproduce.

Hi Peter, I'm trying to figure out how to upload a screen shot. I'm not sure on how to upload the screen shot. The copy and paste doesn't work. Any suggestions, or email me your email and I will upload it that way.


Forget about the above, I figured it out

As far as im aware, it should be fine. There are extra features in some of the functions, and some new ones from memory.
We will always seek to maintain backwards compatibility on TS code if possible
