Overview: Trading System Example
The system is based on 2 moving average
crossover. Buy signal is generated when fast
moving average crosses over slow moving average.
Additionaly Stop-loss is included in the system.
It is very simple system and we don't recomend to
trade it but it is very useful to understand the
principles of genetic optimization. To do
optimization in usual way all parameters will be
tested.
That would include:
K = TS.GO.Chrom("Buy.Signal");
R = TS.GO.Gen("Buy.Signal.Len1",K,1,50,1); -- 1
to 50, together 50
R = TS.GO.Gen("Buy.Signal.Len2",K,1,50,1); -- 1
to 50, together 50
K = TS.GO.Chrom("Sell.Signal");
R = TS.GO.Gen("Sell.Signal.Len3",K,1,50,1); -- 1
to 50, together 50
R = TS.GO.Gen("Sell.Signal.Len4",K,1,50,1); -- 1
to 50, together 50
K = TS.GO.Chrom("StopLoss");
R = TS.GO.Gen("StopLoss.SL",K,100,1000,100); --
100 to 1000, together 11
All together:
= 50х50х50х50х11 = 68.75 million tests
TS GO finds acceptable solution with ~1000 tests.
Using our new function FresBlood it's possible to
do it even faster, with ~100 to 300 tests.
It's obvious that using new technological
possibilities it's easy to cut down time for
searching solutions. New version of Genetic
Optimizer for TradeStation v.1.2. supports up to
1000 genes (!), that allows to solve tasks that
wouldn't be posible with other methods.
Example of simple trading system to show
the possibilities of Genetic Optimizer for
TradeStation.

filename for milestones.
All the tunings of an optimizer and current population are stored in the

the input/output signals after the opening the TradeStation workspace with
the strategy. It is possible to open this file in graphic interface for viewing
population.}

Chromosome Parameters: TS.GO.Chrom(Name)
Name – name of chromosome.
Gene Parameters: TS.GO.Gen(Name,Chrom,Min,Max,Incr)
Name – name of gene.
Chrom – number of chromosome that contains gene (if 0 then gene doesn’t participate in mutations, it’s fixed).
Min – minimal value of gene.
Max – maximal value of gene.
Incr – value increase (step), if = 0 then any values in set range can be used.***}
