crash trying to look at performance graph


First time trying the manager -> workers. I have some 43k systems. Just using the default NQ system. Nothing changed from the defaults. Using my workers on 2 machines, and GSB cloud workers.

I double clicked on the first line in Unique Systems and got a Null Reference Exception popup. See attached screenshot. No trade performance graph was shown.

version 1.0.65.01

Problem with filters (GUI)


I have had this problem since "day one" and I hope that it is simply a setting that I need to change. The filters on the grid don't work very well for me. When I click on the drop down arrow, the drop down is very narrow and won't stay dropped down long enough for me to click on one of the choices. It took me several minutes, for instance, to be able to make this snapshot. I'm on version 1.0.64.802 and I see that there is a later version. Will upgrade today.

For what it is worth, I also get these exceptions. On average, about once per hour. I can't "make" it happen, so not able to help with diagnosis. I'm on version 1.0.64.802 and see that there is a later version. Will upgrade today.

Thanks, Peter. You suggested that I create a support ticket. This raises another issue that I have and I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned it. When I click on "Help", I expect to see the traditional info (license number, version number, click to report, etc. Instead, all I get is "The webpage cannot be found" . version 1.0.64.802

Discrepency in GSB Stop Loss Exit vs MOC


Hi Peter, a minor observation i notice in comparing gsb with backtest in MC with stops & MOC exit. I notice a few occassions that when the stoploss is hit in last bar defaults to Closing price, however MC correctly exits at the stoploss value. Suspect it might be something in the logic of exit calculation. Luckily only occurs a couple of times as most stops hit in other bars. Example trade list attached. Regards, Dave

Problem with cancelled walk forwards


I spent a lot of time narrowing down a list of strategies from 60,000 to 300 to 127 to 20 (largely using macro #2). I then started walk forwards on 10 of them before I realised that I needed to change a setting. Simple enough, I thought. I cancelled the walk forwards and the WFS column showed that I cancelled them.

I changed the setting and re-started the walk forwards. But the status didn't change from cancelled, even after 20 minutes. I re-started them again. Now, the status is flipping back and forth about every two seconds. First showing cancelled. Then showing a percent complete. When they finally complete, the status is still showing cancelled.

I tried saving them, deleting them and re-loading them. They are still showing "cancelled".

I will have to start the entire process from scratch. Only two hours lost, so not a big deal. Just a bit annoying.

If relevant, I'm running 1.0.64.802. I don't see a way to upgrade to later versions without using RM. Is that the case?

Missing metrics when using "nth" method


I am using the "nth" method more and more every day, but some of my favourite metrics aren't being calculated. I get GSB to find 40,000 systems using the "nth" method and that works great!! But 95% of the strategies are missing values in C3-R (training Sharpe Ratio) and C1-R (training win/loss ratio). I really depend on these two metrics to narrow down my search.

I discovered that I can scroll through all 40,000 lines, one at a time, and those metrics will be calculated for me. Another user suggested that I click on "OOS", but I'm not aware of all of the consequences of doing so.

I hope that I have given you enough detail to fix the problem.

Also, on the subject of "nth" methodology, should I be able to run macro #2 to let GSB find the best strategies for me? I tried once and it changed some settings to it wasn't doing the "nth" method.

Thanks,
Chuck

Manager not sending WF's to workers


This just started happening on two pc's. It could be something that I've done within the optimisation settings, but I don't think so.

Version 1.0.65.21

For some reason, the managers are no longer sending walk forwards to the cloud workers. The walk forward status has remained at "waiting" for over an hour. i can do local walk forwards. Any thoughts?

Agree, same here.


UPDATE.... I have tried four earlier versions as well as multiple optimisation files for several markets. The manager simply isn't sending walk forwards to workers (local or cloud) or the workers are ignoring the requests. I tried running multiple walk forwards on my local PC and it slowed to a standstill.

Problems with walk forwards


For the last week or so, I've had numerous problems when using either local or cloud walk forwards.

The first problem is that the walk forwards simply stop anywhere between 5 and 95% complete. They do not continue to process. Cancelling them has problems that I've mentioned before. Running them again is the only solution that I have found.

Some times, the walk forward completes and then another one for the same system starts running. I have watched the same system complete a walk forward and start another one three times.

I thought that the problem was due to me asking for so many at once (20). I started asking for just five at once. Same problem. I then tried two at once. Same problem.

I'm not getting anywhere and I hope that Peter has an "ah ha" moment and comes up with a quick fix.

@chuck
start by doing wf in your manager to the manager, not to the cloud
there is a max of 4 at a time, but when done more will be qued
There can be numerous issues with cloud wf. ie your going to some one else cloud worker, and the worker doing your wf gets termintated due to the owner of the machine using it for there own tasks
More issues than just that, but thats one as an example.
THe SQL server logic behind wf is complex and not faultless. However I have near zero issues myself, but am aware of issues trying to restart a failed wf.

Issues with Custom Indicators


I think that I can safely say that Custom Indicators DO NOT work in the manager/worker environment. They work perfectly in the Standalone mode. It is my belief that the Custom Indicators are NOT being passed to the workers. They certainly aren't being passed to my local workers.

Is this something that can be easily fixed or is it likely to be a permanent limitation?

Related to that issue, Custom Indicators can not be loaded if the settings include walk forward data. I can add the walk forward data after generating systems and I can start a walk forward (it is running now). But I suspect that it isn't going to work properly or I wouldn't have been prevented from adding the custom indicators earlier. If this is a limitation, is it likely to be permanent?

Also, the maximum number of parameter combinations for Custom Indicators is 200. Can that be increased without causing too much work?
