1) I might argue the opposite, a big loss or big win could sqew gsb to curve fit to avoid or get certain days. (bad)
2) I need a screen shot. GSB should work fine. The big btc has massive margin, and the micro so little you need to trade lots of them. Liquidy is a
bit poor
3) yes, but vps are notoriously (often) slow. One provider i spoke to had about 100 users on one machine. My own vps have dedicated core per user, but
not designed for using GSB. I want all users only using VM for trading so every gets full idle resouces for when trades occur. you also want lots of
ram, and vps rarely do

4) you need a licence per machine, but second licenses heavily discounted
see https://trademaid.info/gsbhelp/11GSBFamiliarisationGSBStanda...
GSB resource manager has defaults set roughly correct according to how much ram you have.

Hello,
(2) Two last questions, I do have an old gaming PC with 24 cores/Intel i9 and 36 G ram. I plan to use it just for algo trading once I fully buy GSB.
1- I saw the link you told me, but had this question, can I just use the GSB standalone, and would the above be good enough in terms of hardware
requirements? Also do I need to setup anything in GSB settings for such hardware requirements or keep everything to the default settings?
2- What should the stop loss be, would the default be good enough?
Thanks for your help!

the i9 would be good. It will need a 3 fan water cooler else you will thermal throttle.
Undervolting the cpu and cache helps a lot too.
standalone is much slower.
you want manager with your own workers, and whatever you get from the free gsb cloud
stop loss, err on the side of being big
$2000 aprox for es nq, and most other markets
default settings are generally good. there are tweaks in all sorts of things like when you have massive amounts of ram >=256gb etc
but these dont apply to you

yes, I have 3 fans and water cooling etc... Sorry for all the questions.
https://imgur.com/icznnVj
I attached a link to the error I keep getting on my standalone, I do NOT plan to use the workers since happy with the speed of the standalone, do I
need the RM tool if I am just looking to use the standalone? I am planning on using it on my gaming PC with the trial version first then fully get
GSB.
Also, if I decide to test the GSB manager and workers, how many workers will I need for a 26-core 32 GB PC?
One more question, would I be able to test the RM tool for the workers, because I do not see it in my trial version?
Thanks!

@driz
The trail build has expired. I will get a fix via automatic update asap.
when gsb starts it will update to 64.803. I will try to get this done today but that depends if i can get a programer online
Ive never meet someone who doesnt want more speed
Are you following the methodology?
https://trademaid.info/gsbhelp/Methodology.html
you would want 2 to 4 workers. ram is the limitation
RM tool is only for purchasers, but I will see what I can do after I fix the expired code

Yes, I am following the method to the T.
I do not want more speed for now, since I am not really looking to start with a lot of money, most likely 5K, and I am happy if I can find one algo
every 2-3 weeks that is robust enough for me to incubate and then live trade.
Thanks!

I assume you mean the stop button on gsb is not working.
Are you out of ram or cpu maxed out?
this is not a known bug. It is possible that because the code has expired, stop doesnt work. Ive never seen this before.
Please end task gsb and start the new version and test again.
Apologizes for any issues caused
please send me your anydesk.com details tomorrow.
Im offline for the day today, but likely early your morning might work

Hi,
I have tried to import price data from the big "stable" companies in the U.S: AAPL, TSLA, AMD, GOOGL, NVDA etc.
Have tried to import the data but when I try to start GSB and apply it, it doesn't work properly.
Have had a look at point 1.4 in the manual here but have run into issues.
Does anyboyd have price data for the big companies and are willing to share? Maybe give an explanation on how to do it properly?
Thanks in advance.

@driz
vps tend to be very poor in cpu as the cpu's are over sold many times, and low on ram
If you have no better option, i can rent you a machine with 36 cores and 256 gb of ram for $10 a day
how much ram on your pc?

Thanks for the response Peter.
Before any issues:
- What optimization settings should I start with for getting up to speed for finding acceptable systems?
Issues:
Have tried the steps in this link: https://trademaid.info/gsbhelp/14UploadingdatatoGSB.html
When entering I get the following error message:
“Invalid price file contract
(Tsla/Tsla.1.1minutes.NY.0800-1500.txt). A value of TSLA cannot be found in the contracts list.
Please fix the error(s) above and try again”
This means that I need to manually enter it into the contracts list?
Thanks for the understanding, Peter,

Hi, Yes Tsla needs to exist in the contract list with correct settings, in order for it to work.

@TwntySQ

this depends massively on the market you are looking at.
Best go to default settings of the closest market thats exits already, and tweak one thing at a time.
read the methodology pages

@Admin Hello.
Here are some of my questions:
- In what software do you trade several strategies on a ticker symbol with and are there problems with positioning like opening/closing?
- How many strategies are trading in your portfolio and when do you switch the strategies in portfolio and replace them with new ones?
- Using GSB how long will It take me to find a solid algo/strategy?
Thanks!

@TwntySQ to get you started on a market easiest, is to switch on all (as you prefer) main indicators, and all (as you prefer) SF indicators, save
stats manually, look at SF and Main indicators, save top 50 Main, save top 10 SF (this will show you very very rough data on what works), then run
again all top 50SF, on all top 10 SF together, save top 25 Main indicators, then run those 25 on each of the top 10 SF alone, save down the stats...
now pick your top 2-4 SF for the market.. continue to use the top 25 main going ahead. now test and continue research the market, and when you are
happy with all the GSB settings, narrow down to preferred amount of main indicators... ( you can also do as Peters excellent methodology, which is
to narrow down to 10 on each test)
But starting with the SF and Mian indicators, will get you a good start of a new market. And DO NOT use macros in the beginning, do this manually to
understand what it is that you want to do, and when you understand that, then create your OWN macros that does what you want, not what anyone else
wants.

A friendly heads up, as we know GSB is building systems placing two stops at the same time using incorrect execution logic, when only having one
position, (when using other exit types added such as Vol stop, trail stop and atr stop etc) for example today, it placed two stops at same level,
ending up with system reversing which was not supposed to happen so i had to manually close out the trade.. My point with this is that it needs to be
fixed, since while some people might thing at is a no issue, (since its believed that system will remove the second stop if one is hit) but as could
clearly be seen today, this assumption does not work and it can bite you quite hard if not paying attention.
I propose that GSB gets fixed including the updated Sys system for sale which has this error also, so it does not place two stops same time, when
other exit types is also used.

@daniel
I looked into this, and TS doesnt have this issue. See example where two stops are placed, but only the closest one appears in the order manager
Your immediate fix is to use market when touched orders. Much safer as there is a lot to go wrong with market held stops.
If you are not happy with that solution, you will have to code around this. Apolgies if your not happy with my reply.
