Re: Daily Updates

I'm adding multitasking functionality to FSB Pro trader.
It works perfectly fine on my tests:
- None blocking user interface
- Zero communication errors with MT4.

Actually it works much better than the standard solution. If everything is OK, I'll include this model to next update (most probably next week).

For now I'm little stuck with implementing of Trader chart. I can easily add the chart from FST, but I'll finish with two, 90% equal code files 3000 lines for each of them.

I want to make a common chat for backtester and trader. It will be much easier to maintain and expand later.

Re: Daily Updates

Auto start trading is fixed.

It works as a charm now. When the check box is checked, FSB goes to Auto start page and execute the loading script. It also wait for the connections and turns on the trading.

It turns on trading on manual starting the script also.

Re: Daily Updates

I look forward to the new tool...

Thanks for your efforts.

Re: Daily Updates

- I fixed Launcher crash in all programs.
- Indicators are unified for all programs.
- Renamed "Higher Time Frame" to "Longer Time Frame" in FSB Pro.
- Fixed bug Generator in FSB - changing same and opposite signals even if it is said to preserve their values.


I'll see for other minor fixes and will update all programs on Sunday evening.

Re: Daily Updates

I sure appreciate your efforts to help us.

Re: Daily Updates

I spend the wast two weeks for improving the internal structure of FSB Pro and fixing many bugs:
- the settings files are saved in json format now. It will allow us to add future parameters easier, without loosing the current settings.
- fixed many bugs with Undo / Redo and Save As commands.
- buttons on the toolbar and menu commands are properly enabled/disabled depending on the state of the currently active window.
- improved user interface of all dialog panels. They provide reset and cancel functionality.
- when an error or warning appears and Output Log panel is not open, the program will show notification on the status bar. When you click it, it will open the Output panel and will scroll down to the last error.
- many other small issues are fixed also

Re: Daily Updates

Re: Daily Updates

Today FSB Pro Generator generated its first strategy.

Re: Daily Updates

Wow....... congratulations.!!

Re: Daily Updates

I'm experimenting with the new Generator.
On 5000 bars Pro Generator is slower then FSB Generator.
On 20000 bars and 3 threads, Pro Generator is about 10% faster than FSB Generator.

Now I have four Generators running on different tabs and a strategy trading on three connections. Each Generator is using two background workers. In that load the UI starts lagging, but trader and generators are working without problems.

Re: Daily Updates

I'm still working on Generator and fixing other issues.
I'll try to upload a new version soon.

Re: Daily Updates

I'm working on a new feature that will replace "Top 10" list of FSB Generator.
It's a Strategy Collection page. It will be placed under Repository master page.
The idea is that we can push strategies from Editor page to a collection by pressing a button. Also Generator and Optimizer will push all strategies that pass Acceptance Criteria.
Each Collection will be formed from strategy data as: StrategyName_DataSource_Symbol_Period
When we work on strategy we can periodically push intermediate state to the collection.
After that we can arrange collected strategies by a parameter and additionally we can filter collection by setting minimal requirements with sliders smile

We'll be able to save / reopen collections. Also will be possible to delete or open a strategy from a collection in other Tab.

Re: Daily Updates

Is this feature that will collect and post strategies to be automatic such that a generated strategy will automatically be posted to the repository or will it be an option?

The strategies will be collected and kept in PC memory only. If user wants, he/she can saves the collection in the local disk. Strategies will not be uploaded to server for now.

Re: Daily Updates

Now, when FSB Pro is updated to Beta 1, I'll do some work on FST.
I'll include the new Expert Installer and the new expert and dll files. There are some cleanup in the indicator codes from FSB Pro.

I'll try to prepare the new FST release soon.

Stay tuned

Re: Daily Updates

My goals for this week about FSB Pro:
- Minor fixing of JForex import;
- Adding MT4 History Import;
- Adding anonymous usage statistics;
- Adding import tool in DataSource page. It will import instruments from FSB and from other data sources.

Re: Daily Updates

and i wish one day we will see FSB with a universal data reader

Thank you Ahmed.

I just imported 100k EURUSD bars for all time frames from Alprai without gaps smile

http://s9.postimg.org/deoy2u0nv/screenshot_216.jpg

The new importer can cut data to a predefined length.
FSB Pro loads up to 100k intrabars and 50k main bars.

..

There are no records for D1 and H4 on the screenshot because these periods are fully covered by the shorter periods.

Re: Daily Updates

Symbols data can be imported:

* Import all Symbols from other Data Source;

* Import all Symbols from FSB - instruments.xml

* Import Symbol from MT4 connection
