Download link is in the first post.

Changes:
- Fixed minor issues when using -autostartgenerator option
- Added individual control of Same and Opposite signals generation
- Included FSB_Launcher.xml in installation. It allows easier settings of FSB startup arguments.
- Acceptance Criteria unified for Generator and Optimizer.

I think that the idea of a profiles.xml file will work nicely - are you thinking v 2.8 or the next release?

In 2.8 will be ok.

Launcher reads an config file named "FSB_Launcher.xml" in the same directory.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Settings>
  <FSBPath>.\Forex Strategy Builder.exe</FSBPath>
  <Arguments></Arguments>
  <BackColor>#007049</BackColor>
  <ForeColor>#E3DEEB</ForeColor>
  <ShutDownTime>15</ShutDownTime>
  <PathSettings>FSB_Launcher.xml</PathSettings>
</Settings>

You can set the location of Forex Strategy Builder.exe and the starting arguments.
For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Settings>
  <FSBPath>C:\Program Files\Forex Strategy Builder\Forex Strategy Builder.exe</FSBPath>
  <Arguments>-autostartgenerator</Arguments>
  <BackColor>#007049</BackColor>
  <ForeColor>#E3DEEB</ForeColor>
  <ShutDownTime>15</ShutDownTime>
  <PathSettings>FSB_Launcher.xml</PathSettings>
</Settings>

We can use it for settings the starting options.

I'll see how to expand it to include profile options or to make additional profiles.xml in Systems folder.
Also Profile Editor with GUI will be nice to prevent the manual editing of xml files.

I'll experiment with this ideas these says.

Now when we have support for custom config.xml file and instruments.xml file we can make "profiles" support.

Specification project:
- Profiles are defined in a profiles.xml file under settings folder.
- A profile consists of path to custom config.xml file and instruments.xml file.
- Profiles can be chosen at startup via menu on splash screen.
- If there is only one profile, Launcher will load FSB automatically.
- If there is more than one profile, Launcher will give 5 seconds for changing the selection.

Profile Editor can be added.

...

One other option is to add Profiles and Data Sources like in FSB Pro.
Profiles will change config file.
Data Sources will change Data directory and Instruments settings.

To do so, we have to move DataDirectoryPath to instruments.xml file.

Why is that

Risk Free Value for Sharpe = 1.

SharpeRatio = (AverageHoldingPeriodReturn - 1) / StandardDeviation

AverageHoldingPeriodReturn = TotalHoldingPeriodReturn / TotalTrades

TotalHoldingPeriodReturn = Sum( 1 + ProfitLoss / InitialAccount )     <-- for all positions

could you elaborate with example

Lots of info on related subjects in the Wilmott forum

Sharpe ratio > 3 is used by HF traders as a preliminary when testing their advisers.

If you are using the generator. let it run until you have the desired result, you may find that some of your strategies have to be adjusted to allow this result to be satisfactory.

What is the sharp ratio formula is ?

See answer 15 from this thread.

I spend some hrs navigating web and read some articles about it , also i see some strategies with sharp ratio > 4,5,........etc  BUT when i select sharp ratio >2 in FSB it stayed lot lot of time running without generating any strategy !!!!!!!

Min Long trades No./ Total Trades No.   It will be a nice criteria if added

Min long winning trades No./ Total winners
