@TraderTom. Good observation. I havnt even looked, but in the big picture I can say 2022 was by far the best year of my 22 years trading, and early
2023 was one of the worst periods. We had markets that gave strong moves that later reversed. Just a very dangerous time for trading. No market stays
in ideal conditions indefinitely.
This has to be factored in. Regardless the collective total was good. Managed to buy part of a farm this week, a dual motor Tesla + increased savings
so trading is still been very profitable.
Regardless trading is very risky and harder than most people think

Quote: Originally posted by TraderTom  | Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate the information very much.
However, there is some information I came across recently that has left me quite concerned about GSB, and which I hope Peter can address. I was on
the Striker web site, and I saw they are tracking 12 different GSB systems, which you can rent to trade with them if you should want to. What
bothered me is that out of those 12 systems, only 5 were profitable over the tracking period, and the other 7 lost money. Of the 5 winners, there was
one superstar (GSBsys1ES), but none of the other 4 had made over $10K, trading 1 car. That was disappointing, both in how few winning systems there
were, and how relatively small the winnings are.
I hope I'm missing something here, and that I can expect better performance than that. From where I sit, to get going with GSB I'm looking at a
substantial investment in software and hardware, and a steep learning curve, so the rewards have to worth the price. Right now, it seems to me they
fall short. But I hope I'm wrong!

There are always periods with a DD. It's something you have to accept and tolerate both financially and psychological.
I think you should try trading micro futures that will allow you to gain confidence in what you do and also limit the risk.
When it comes to the GSB I can add that I tried 3 other tools. The GSB is superior in every aspect. If you accept to follow Peter's methodology, the
learning curve will be less steep.

Peter and Thomas, thanks for the replies. This isn't my first rodeo, so I'm pretty familiar with drawdowns. I live in one a lot of the time. 
I agree with what you both said about how trading is risky, and harder than most people think. I think the observation that 95% of would-be traders
fail is probably accurate, and maybe it's even 99%.
Thanks for the comment about trying 3 other tools, Thomas. I've been down that road myself. It's not easy to start with a new one and get proficient
at it, that's why I'm doing so much research. I'll keep at it.

Normal state is in a drawdown, I am 99% of the time in a drawdown. Here's the last two months. Before this the previous equity high was 20 Jan 2023.

I believe the last time I tried to update my version of GSB Automation from the pCloud I had to have Peter reset it. Is there any documentation on
the correct way (or files needed) to download and install a new version of Automation?

@tialt
the bare minimum you need to update is the automation.exe file, pdb file and version.txt & take the latest excel file
Overwrite your old files unless the name of GSBAutomation.exe had a date after it (it does) GSBAutomation20230630.exe
Either make a shortcut to GSBAutomation20230630.exe or reanme GSBAutomation.exe to .old and rename GSBAutomation20230630.exe to GSBAutomation.exe

@NickW, thanks for the DD table. And yes, being in a DD is definitely normal, for sure. What I didn't like was the fact that you said that the
previous equity high was Jan 20th. That's 5 solid months of DD, which seems a bit much. Those long intervals make it hard to trade. But I'm sure
that's not news to anyone here.

@tradertom, what you also may factor in is that many of us had the most spectacular equity run up (biggest in 22 years of trading) and that I think it
was jan or feb was just a killer month.
For me in this context, a long or big dd is no big deal.

Yes, that's a good point. Of course, for someone coming in without that big run behind them, it would have been much harder. But I hear what you're
saying.

New to GSB and running through the methodology guides at the moment. In the guides I see fields for Operators, Normalization, Sign modes and other
fields under Strategy that I am not seeing on my setup. Any tips on why this might be?
EDIT: Screenshots attached of what I see vs an example from the guide. Another difference is that GSB is not available as an option in the strategy
field on my setup.

Hi hsuehster,
Go to "View" (in the top menu) and activate "Advanced" (last option).
For novice users I think it's best to keep these settings untouched.
Good luck building!

Hi Carl, thanks for the tips. Advanced was previously selected and I've since toggled it off and on again. Fields under Strategy still appear to be
the same though.

@hsuehster, a lot of fields are locked out unless you run the optional Alpha user mode.
This is for GSB purchasers only. The logic behind this is there is so much for new users to learn, giving them even more power will give them even
greater opportunity to dig them selves in a hole they cant get out of.

Just curious, but it always seems when I start building systems the #C/US number is quite high and declines significantly over time. Any idea why
this happens?

@tialt
thats because calculations are being done, that result in terrible metrics, and so the individual calculation is aborted before the end of the data.
When GA finds something that works, the calculations are completed and so its slower. Drom day one this was one of the many tricks to GSBs speed

Result discrepancy
I use GSB 66.25 and EWFO 20221201.1.
The input parameters from GSB=>EWFO run are completely different.
What I did was to run WF to EWFO and later EWFO using the files from GSB. EWFO run was using the same FF as I had on GSB run.
The input parameters from GSB and EWFO are completely different. Why?
Something wrong with my EWFO copy? When I use GSB EWFO files, the TS script is not correct, see below.
Begin
i1length GSB_MedianOsc = 87;
i1Weight GSB_MedianOsc = 0;
i2Weight GSB_Close = 0;
i3Weight GSB_Close = 0;
EntryParams = 0;
EntryParams2 = 0;
GSB_CloseToHighLow3v5 iSFLength = 157;
iSFWeight GSB_CloseToHighLow3v5 = -1;
sfEntryLevel = 2.5;
End
Now, if I'd use TS for making EWFO files, the TS script would be
Begin
i1length = 87;
i1Weight = 0;
i2Weight = 0;
i3Weight = 0;
EntryParams = 0;
EntryParams2 = 0;
iSFLength = 157;
iSFWeight = -1;
sfEntryLevel = 2.5;
End
