This is disappointing to hear. TS has been substandard for a long time now.

I don't know if it has anything to do with it. But when I was forced to update to TS build 69 after reboot, I had a crash. But after I updated my windows latest available monthly updates, the crash issue didn't resurfaced again for 2 days after that, but the RAM did still go up gradually. I wish I have a personal option of staying on build68, which is more stable. Anyone knows how to keep on using a previous build without having to be forced to upgrade after a PC reboot?

@chifai2

ran this last week and so far it hasn't updated

https://trademaid.info/gsbhelp/Tradestationbestpracticeandfi...

"Tradestation 10 disable of automatic update
TS 10 gives you no choice to not update the build. This for example means users lost the ability to export xml performance report - one of the two ways to export data for Portfolio Analyst Pro.

Please unzip, then double click this file to change your registry."

Why dont you guys try Multicharts, not perfect, but for sure seems to run with much less headache. Never had memory issues of cpu issues (been running systems on MC for over 8 years i think), Have not had a crash of MC for as long as I can remember. You can all systems in a portfolio without charts. You can add force close on positions and control seconds before session ends for all positions.. Just saying, might be worth a try based on the headache you guys seems to experiencing.

@Daniel

Interesting, Could you please tell us more?

Broker? I'm guessing IB?
what data are you using? IQ feed?
Execution speed?
you're building systems on IQfeed data? assuming that's your data feed?
Can you do symbol substitution? trade MNQ based on NQ?

any issues with platform?

Thanks

@Daniel, thanks for your comments.
I see MC / TS the same as andriod / apple, Tesla or not a tesla.
Very strong individual preference, and at times zero choice in the matter.
ie TS not available on your country, ts not have a market you want to trade means you go to mc, a Tesla, you cant afford one or dont want one.
MC was perhaps 10++???? years ahead of TS for supporting multi core, and 64 bit and it has significant plus's, esp being very stable.
Drove us all nuts trying to get the max speed out of one cpu core, when we had many.
IBlink can support mc or ts, so thats ok
On the negatives, I dont want to use it. The most basic performance reports on a numerous pages, and cant be seen in one page.
This alone makes it too painful to use, and would be a 5 minute fix for mc to do.
I am heavily invested in object oriented code, which mc doesnt do, and alertmon uses this extensively.
I can tell if a chart is not open, or in fault state even on weekends when the market is closed. MC I dont think can do this.
If I wait for market to open for alarms, i would get them 1:30 am my time, which is very bad for sleep and lifestyle.
MC doesnt support the ts wfo.exe bin file format (unless thats changed) and ewfo is a pain to use with MC.
For reasons I dont know, and have not looked into much, mc with ts data feed frequently failed. (im sure iqfeed will be stable)
IQ data feed <> ts data feed, and I think there are issues of no up down vol (critical to me, but i could be wrong over this)
and ts code is 99% the same as mc. The 1 % would be a big task to sort out.
I am heavily invested in TS and reluctant to change. It would be my plan z to use MC
mc is also slower to execute, however if the portfolio trader was used, likely this would not be the case. (i benchmarked them both extensively)
There are a great deal of bugs in both platforms, and I have done workarounds for there own quirks.
If ts was stable, and 64 bit I would want little more. Rebooting ts each day and im working on having charts over two copies of ts, should fix my issues.
TS stability is much worse when you have 40+ charts.



A side issue
the relationship between ts and mc is interesting. I spoke to someone who has the opinion that someone who owned ts a long time back, owns part of MC.
The lead programmer of GSB also thinks, the same programmer(s) who wrote ts, also wrote mc. This is not the same as saying they copied parts of TS.

Hi,

Broker IB yes, rock solid api.. I have never had it crash, ever.
Iq feed, rock solid ai also, have had a handfull of issues at most over 8 years.
Execution speed, hard to tell, but i have not noticed any delays.. i use baremetal server in chicago at very reliable and expensive datacenter, close to IB and exchange... just request Ib to allocate you to execute at closest server they had to your server,.. in my case, same city.. Chicago.

Build on IQ, trade on IQ, I can map whatever. nq to mnq etc...
But dont do this, since i trade both NQ and MNQ.. i just build on NQ data and trade on MNQ...





Thanks

Good Morning to You Peter,

Hope all is well with you and family.

Just checking in with you. Do you please have more systems I can run on NinjaTrader8.

Currently I am running GSBsys3NQ and GSBsys1ES on NinjaTrader8.

I look forward to your response.

Thank you,

@goodoboy, The NT programer has been pulled from doing NT system conversion to working on GSB miss match issues, and GSB NT features. This is months of work and it sadly for you means i have no resources to put into conversion of systems.
I will look for some solutions but this is not easy to get done. The missmatch issues are a critical issue for me to get fixed asap on all platforms

There was a tiny bug in GSBSYS3.11NQ
In ts 10 setexitoclose doesnt work real time unless its a standard session time close
so this code was missing

If TIME =eod and currentcontracts >0 THEN
BEGIN
Sell ("LX_EOD") THIS BAR AT CLOSE;
Buy TO COVER ("SX_EOD") THIS BAR AT CLOSE;
END;

all users on ts10 or 9.5 who execute at tradestation brokerage (TMA users not needed) should update there code
Same pcloud url. Orders will show "GSB3.12nqLe3c Previous version was GSB3.11nqLe3c

Hello Peter,

Thank you for the update.

I am running GSBsys3NQ in NinjaTrader 8 right now.

Should I be concerned about the bug? I know your programmer have not done the updates for GSBsys3NQ NT8 to decrease drawdown yet and will do it later when time is available.

Thank you,

Good Morning Peter ,

Sorry to bother as you know you and programmers are very very busy and overwhelmed with current fixes on TS.

Just a quick question please.

Is GSBsys21ES available for NT8?

Thankyou so much.

@GOODBOY, this will be a long time off, unless i can get anohter NT programer online. I have one, but he has no ts skills, so it would likely be costly on my time.
regardless I will look into it.
the current nt programmer is tied up on GSB & GSB-nt for a long time to come.

The last 2 systems I bought did my TS crash. Other previous didn't. So is there much interest from my site. A difficult answer.

In my opinion, The reason why most GSB Index strategies have not performed as well is because they all are trending strategies. In the previous years while we had the covid and other major financial events, the VIX was high and the daily price range was high as well. Now the Vix is back to the 14-18 range with the markets being very choppy, a low time frame counterTrend strategy would need to be added to the portfolio as diversification is very important. My personal CT systems have done very well in this trading environment.

that begs the question can we develop counter trend / mean reversion strategies with gsb?

Good question. If you have zonetrader2.04 you could look how the counter trend logic works. (while i have the code, how it works is not yet in my head)
there is also mean reversion. The next release has that as a filter. This tends to just help trend following systems do better, but they are still trend following
@chifai2, can you give an example of counter trend system. Fine if you want to email me.
Long term GSB architecture can be adjusted / changed to support all sorts of trading types.
Ive only got CT going on GC market, no others yet. However im not in system development mode at the moment. More working on research and new features in GSB

Just a reminder
when we have a half trading day, the value of the previous close is not correct, and it changes just after 830 am central time.
you need to do a control R (else delete all cache) at 831 am on all symbols that have an @ in front.
Then check that all charts are loaded ok and have trades on them.
The consequences of not doing this have at times been the difference of winning or not getting a large winning trade. Of course the opposite is also possible

Bounce system is getting populated under systems for sale. Its not compete but will be in a few days. Very time consuming to do.
