Curve fitting. do not need to be a bad thing I wish we could curve fit them to the future  🙂 . I guess that’s what WFA is for.

How to find a strategy with an entry that has an edge on the market. The only way I know of to test this is to have the same size PT and SL. It is hard to know which size is needed to find a strategy with and edge because it depends on indicators used etc. I wonder if  a feature for SQX could be to be able to set multiple fixed size same range Stop losses and Targets to let SQ X find the optimum stop and target size with the same size were an edge can be found and avoid Ambiguous bars.  Say  40/40, 45/45/………..   These type of strategies is really hard to curve fit for any program. Then later when you know your entry have an edge (+50% win)  you could put it in improver to try and curve fit it some by adding and/or improving the exit size in Optimizer.

Guys have you seen how the SQX generate strategies more or less with the same number of trades? For example if i generate strategies over 1 month of IS timeframe 5 minute, more or less all the strategies have the same number of trades (60-100) and if you generate with the same build but you put 10 years of IS the strategies have again 60-100 trades!!! Surely something is wrong in the generator engine…
Has anyone else noticed this thing?

I have had a different experience. Both RG and G Evolution are generating strategies between 200- 3000  trades; mean around 450. My problems have been memory management – seems I am the only one.

JOJo.. on my 16 gig unit ram it also get  maxed out. It seems however that 22 gig is max then other problems appears  and SQX gets unresponsive.  when I reached 3800 strategies in databank I had to kill it using task manager.

Mabi, I don’t know why I feel a little releaved that there are others with similar problems. I thought this was only my problem! SQ should be configured to save as it goes along so that when it ceases, you don’t lose everything. Employing Task Manager means you lose several hours or days work. I used to run SQ for days and there would be no memory challenges. Now…..

Well now i only have 8 gig . One module burned up. Girlfriend cleaned my desk and pulled the plug when it was maxed .. ahahha

I am planning to upgrading my pc to 64 RAM and ramp up my CPU. I hope then SQ will behave and I won’t have to consider another pc upgrade.

@jojo

64GB is a good configuration,

I give the SQ 50 GB memory for calculation. Parallel I run 10 Metatrader parallel.

we just released new SQ X Build 108.

It is quite a big update, a lot of issues were fixed, and we were also able to improve backtesting speed 2-3x, and memory consumption to half.

Thanks for the hard work Mark.

Yeah it is going better and better. Thanks

Mark here is some feedback from day 1 with v108.  It looks awesome.  All crosscheck filters work and when it is fully loaded with filters it is cruising at 68,000 per hour.  So far so good.  I will report into the task manager with issues.  Thanks.

waooo it is fast…. good work…

i used the updater and everything went smoothly.  After installation when i open SQX, the attached error message appears

when i press ok, SQX closes.

Wow! X8 Is Awesome Thanks SQ team.
