EWFO has a lot more walk forward options than GSB, Tradestation WFO or MultiCharts.

This feature however gives you much greater speed than Tradestation &  MultiCharts.

It removes the need to even use Tradestation WFO or MultiCharts. at all for a walk forward.


If you want to use the path C:\Program Files (x86)\TradeStation x.y\WFO\Data

then GSB must be run with  windows administrator permissions.
