This topic was renamed from SQ4 Early preview. The old, no longer relevant posts are or will be deleted and archived.

The point is in clearing up our forum from old, non-relevant stuff.

Mike. SQ 128 have a bug that can be signficant overtime. It do not respect distance from price settings since it is not present in MQL code which if you use it can have large diffrences in traded result and backtested results when it comes to strategy type , Stop and Limit. It is fixed but not realeased yet.

Hi SQX Team,

So we now have the ability to measure portfolio correlation.  Any chance we will see a “Portfolio Builder” section in SQX that can comb through our generated strategies and find the combinations that result in the lowest correlation for any given aim / ranking?

Thanks,

Hello,

this is a planned feature we would like to focus on after the next “bugkill” update is released. We want to have this feature available for sure. Many users have requested this too

Just a few quick questions:
1) SQX 128 has Simple Martingale MM, and it says ‘Experimental feature’.
Does it mean the resulted code is not ready for real trading?

2) Can we also add one more feature such as adding Hedge position?
Meaning, in contrast to Martingale, here we add a reverse position according to ‘Lots multiplier’.
For example if lots multiplier is 2, we start with 0.01 lot BUY, then the market goes south, it is then open 0.02 lot SELL position, then the market goes up, it opens 0.04 lot BUY position, etc.

these “techniques” dont work, trust me – and it has nothing to do with the logic of SQX strats

hedging, martingale = margin call – sooner or later

accept the SL as a normal strategy behavior and keep it simple – thats my advice

Thanks much for your feedback.
I appreciate it.
I believe SQX must be at a neutral position which providing tools to allow us crafting our trading strategies.

Hello,

I can’t copy the data and the setting from dev 6 to rc 1.

1, I export the data, instrument setting from dev6, and then import to the rc1.

2, I copy the ../usr/data from dev 6 to the rc1.

But the data in rc1 is null.

Here I have a suggestion.

Add the data default folder setting in the global setting. And Users can also specify the location of this folder according to their preferences.

Maybe you can let the user specify this folder during installation.

So we don’t need to re-import the data after a new installation.

Hello all,

just in case you haven’t noticed we released a final SQ Build 129 yesterday (11.8.2020).

You should be requested to update when you start SQ.

This was a release where we focused on fixing all the reported bugs and we fixed all the older ones, over 300 issues. Some smaller issues added very recently will be fixed in the next release.

There were some features added, the “biggest” one is probably a new What-If cross check.

Build 129 was tested quite thoroughly with Release Candidates 1-3 also with community, I want to thank everybody who helped testing it.

We have one more surprise in our sleeve – we are working on Mac and Linux versions, they should be available (as experimental) shortly.

Fantastic to hear of more and continuous updates to come

Thats great news, Mark.  Thanks for the update.

This product is such a game-changer.

You guys are really doing wonderful work!

Hi all,

we just released (an experimental) StrategyQuant versions for Linux and Mac.

You can download them from SQ Download page.

Please let us know if you’ll experience any problems, we are looking forward for your feedback 🙂

Hi,

We are waiting for this feature so long by now …can you guys indicate when it will be finally possible to write your own strategies in java? Like those examples in:

\extend\Snippets\SQ\Strategies\

Basically I need to make one generic strategy with several different entry filters and be able to optimize it using specified input parameters, without coding and then configuring tens of snippets and blocks etc etc…

Will it ever be possible, if yes then when?

Thanks!

Wow! Thank you! 🙂

I am looking forward to have a production version on Linux in future! Well done! Actually I rent a windowsserver to do the strategyjobs. Windowsserver are double the price of a linuxserver, but in germany the energy prices are so high that even the expensive windowsserver are cheaper than running a machine at home 😀

Wonderful news that in future it gets cheaper for me!

Hi everyone,

I have just uploaded a new version of SQX for MAC. Previously there were issues with file dialogs causing the whole program to freeze.

It is now fixed and should be working fine. You can download the latest version here: https://cdn.strategyquant.com/install/sq/SQX_130_MAC.zip

PS: Please don’t forget to copy the unzipped app into Applications folder and run from there.

Looking forward to your feedback

Best regards,

Tomas

Thanks Tomas thats worked fine. No freezing and the equity curves are now being displayed correctly.
