Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could
potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without
jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only
those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of
future results

Setting black-out dates


I'm building a daily ES system and wanted to exclude the 9/1/2008-9/1/2009 period so it doesn't overly influence the daily system. So, I set 2 periods 1900-9/1/2008 and 9/1/2009-2100 (see screenshot). However ..

1) The equity curves only show 1 of the 2 periods, and it's slightly offset - doesnt quite end on start/end dates.

2) The fitness functions are 0 - how do i run the daily systems? attached is settings file, EOD dataset, screenshots.

thx, Kiran

upload your app settings files too. Again you have too few trades on the first screen shot.
There is merit to excluding this period. You can also use vbase fitness. This gives fitness relative to the current range.
However I build many systems with GSB, and dont excluded this period.
