Using Macros To Automate My Workflow
How does one update the stats in the window (such as Persons/DD/etc...) without having to click on each strategy?
I'm currently building and setting to NoTrade via macros, but then I have to click on each strategy to update stats. For example - see here - https://www.loom.com/share/58f1a2765556461887e330a5f5404a00
I would like to automate this process with macros, then move those strategies that fit my criteria into favs for further analysis.
How can I accomplish that?

Hi guys,
Here is how you can do this in a few different ways:
The recalculating consists of two steps.
1. change the settings (like change Dts from Trd to NoTrd)
2. recalculate all strategies based on the new settings
Option 1:
By hand (steps 1 and 2)
Left click the first strategy
Hold shift down and left click the bottom strategy
Then right click and change the setting in the dropdown menu (for example change Dts from NoTrd to All)
Choose "Yes" to start the recalculating process
Option 2:
By hand (what is described here only performs step 2)
Left click the first strategy
Hold shift down and left click the bottom strategy
Then right click and choose "Overright Original Settings (OOS)".
Now the recalculating process starts (this might take a while)
Option 3:
By macro (what is shown only performs step 2):
Hope this helps

Thanks all! I ended up figuring out on my own via trial and errors with the macros, but will give some of your recs a gander...

EWFO issue
I was playing with the Soybeans strategy and put it through the TradeStation optimizer to create the WF folder.
Using the Trademaid EWFO application (ver 20221201.1) on that output gives:
Error: Exit date does not exist in prices. You need GSB57.54 or above to write TradeStation data.
Note that I didn't use GSB to create this. I did take the strategy from the forum and just ran the EWFO on the optimized results. I thought maybe it
was a bad TS optimization, so I ran another and got the same results. What does that mean?

@brk
I have not ever seen that message.
my guess is ts wrote bad data.
please test the same data in ts wfo.exe
could there be an open trade?

I've done it a few times now. This happens while doing the Fitness Selection in EWFO.
The TS WFO reads the directory and processes it, but I always get that error message with the EWFO now. Note this is just the Soybean strategy and I
did an optimization on some of the inputs. The ES and NQ still work fine.
Does it know anything about the GSB installation? Does it matter that I have a beta GSB installed?

ewfo doesnt connect to the the gsb installation.
Likely one of the fitness's in fintess selection causes the issue. It would be good to know what fitness causes the issue

I tried running each of the fitness functions separately with "Test Criteria". Several of them down the line like MFE, MAE, PFLateEntry among others
return the error: The given key was not present in the dictionary.
I tried running several of the fitness functions.
The VBase+ (S, M and L) all generate an unhandled exception dialog box came up. Says I can hit continue or quit. The Exception text also showed a
KeyNotFoundException (The given key was not present in the dictionary). Continue just hangs. Must exit.
Tried a few more times, get that error on some of fitness functions, some crash the app.

@brk,
my guess is the price file is not in the data.
you can upload the file (use .7zip will give massive compression and I can look into it.

Two questions relating to workers
I hope that one of you can help me. I have two pressing issues to do with "workers".
1. Why is it that some times workers won't start (or connect) to the manager. After 20 minutes or so, I kill them and restart them. I may have to
do that 3 times before they finally take off.
2. Is there a way to NOT use certain (or any) cloud workers? I need to have my own local workers, but I don't want to use any cloud workers. Why,
you might ask? Some kind person (or two people) have made workers available to other users. For some reason, those workers aren't finding any
viable strategies. They do generate thousands of strategies per minute, but none meet my minimum requirements. This means that my manager is
spinning its wheels sending off strategy requests that won't be satisfied. Local workers find hundreds of strategies for me, so I know that my
manager is sending requests properly.

Hello,
I think if you choose Version Stalone it would be what you are looking for.

A2.
Yes, it is possible to only use your own workers and no cloud workers.
Open GSB Manager, go to Tools, App settings, Workplace and remove the default gsbcloud user and password, but use your own unique user_password. Save
the app settings file.
Then do the same in your GSB Worker, use the same user_password like you did in the GSB Manager. Again save the app settings file. You can now start
more GSB Workers.
After these changes your GSB Manager is only communicating with your own GSB Workers and not with cloud workers anymore.
Hope this helps

Its a very core feature, this is where you define DATES, and the days you use or NOT use, for building... some markets for example likes 1/80 i.e you
build on every 80th days period, and next 80 days is not use for building.. other market prefer not using 80 bur perhaps a shorter period...
You also define how your system shall be delivered to you, by using the "auto" feature.. for nth and trd...
And in the system area, you after build then with macros or manually adjust what you want to see, for example ALL period or all nth...

systems change when selected
GSB 1.0.65.56
I'm trying to setup/run a new build. I'm running a Manager and 3 workers. When systems come up in the manager, I sort them by NP/DD-F, putting the
largest on top. When I select it, many times (not every time) it will change the values. Whenever I find a system that looks good with a NP/DD-F of
27 or more, I like it, click it and it drops to 12. It's not just the top one, it's almost any of them that have been sitting there for a few
minutes. This happens to most of the results in the list. I've even tried looking/selecting in the workers and the same thing happens there.
I did notice that on some if I right-click and start a WFO on it before left-clicking, I can get the WFO to work and save it. Or if I save it and
grab the easy language script before it changes, I can save the strategy. But something happens to them eventually, like they're getting overwritten
or something.
What can I be doing wrong?

@ brk,
I have seen this issue quite a number of times
there are 3 likely reasons
1) system are built
then dates or nth changed, but not recalculated
you click on it, and it recalulates & changes
2) systems built with manager that <> worker version when they are not compatible
check the worker version that the system was built with
ie in ts code
// Equity Spearman Exact: 0.0%
// Equity Spearman Close: 0.0%
// Manager's GSB Version: 1.0.65.56 / 2023-04-15
// Worker's GSB Version: 1.0.65.56 / 2023-04-15 //***** see the versions are the same
// Performance (full period)
// Fitness: 44,570,065.91
// Net Profit
3) coruption in gsb app settings.
go back to previous settings that worked, re-test and if ok change your settings from the previous settings

This sounds like a bug, that has been reported, and been in GSB for many years.. systems when clicked on, will have their metrics change..
This issue, sounds like a problem that is known, and confirmed as a bug, its just not been fixed yet.
I have personally reported it several times, and also sent in support ticket with managers containing the issue, and has joint Session with Peter
multiple times about it where it has been replicated.
I think this, is a great thing to get fixed, after fixing all the indicators that does not currently match and cant be used, which is still a lot,
even after latest build.

Thx. Yes, the manager & workers all match. This is a new setup, so there's nothing to go back to that "works". I'm thinking since I'm still new at
this so I bet I have settings in a way that exploits the bug/issue. I'm going through the docs completely (all 710 pages) before I commit that I'm
not doing something stupid.
On another note I'd like to find for the WF on the chart, is it possible to change the colors? I'm not exactly color blind, but I am color deficient.
So I see a yellow line and two dark lines. I would like to have 3 very different and identifiable colors (light, dark and medium). If I could
change one of the dark ones to either blue or red, that would help dramatically.

Hi brk,
You can change the colors of the equity lines by going to - Tools - App settings - GUI (scroll down to the bottom fields)

Hi @Peter, we need if possible a written guide of the ExitModes in manual, that currently exist in GSB.. the names used is not possible to understand
what the logic is, so would be great if there is an explanation with words what the Exit actually shall do.. also exits like trail stops, etc as
currently implemented from GSB, does not work in real live trading (not in terms of pnl, but rather execution) ... So its important that the exits
that is in GSB is actually possible to use for live trading.
Some exits also throws two stops in the market, one large stop and then at the same time running a second exit in the market.. so you have one
position long with 1 ctr, and two separate exits with oen ctr each.. this is not optimal from a risk perspective.

Hi Daniel
Im not aware of any such issues. If ts has multiple stops running, i believe the tightest applies. I assume mc is the same
If you have this issue, i see it as an execution error, not a easy language error
I believe the stops are all in the docs, and I have little faith in them helping in any way on a day trading system. Long term system much more likely
to work
how to use them is also in the docs or videos, cant remember as its years ago.
if you optimize the exit levels on an existing system you will see
many stop methods do nothing, others give much less dd at great expense to NP, some might help but affect very few trades
