Question 1: Building a Template with Fuzzy Logic

• User Question: Hablimos asks about creating a fixed variable with fuzzy logic.
• Process:
  • Use Algo Wizard and switch to Template Mode.
  • Example: Set condition "close > close one day ago."
  • Generate random values for shifting and save the template.
• Limitation: Fuzzy logic cannot be added to templates; templates restrict options.
• Alternative Approach:
  • Use Simple Strategy Default and create Custom Blocks.
  • Import custom indicators or patterns into the builder.
• Fuzzy Logic Explanation:
  • Combines multiple conditions; a signal is generated if a fixed percentage of conditions are true.
  • Example: If 50-57% of conditions are met, the entry signal is valid.
• Implementation:
  • Users can adjust the weight of blocks to make certain conditions more prominent.
  • Be aware of a bug that may cause repeated conditions in results.

Question 2: Filtering Losing Strategies

• User Question: A request for demonstrating a custom project to weed out losing strategies on specific days.
• Current Structure Limitation: Cannot change logic in the crosscheck; only filtering is possible.
• Process:
  • Use What-If Simulation in the crosscheck settings.
  • Set conditions to filter days with profitable net profit.
  • Example: Filter for profitable strategies on Mondays.
• Test Results:
  • Use the settings to isolate losing strategies on specific days (e.g., losing on Wednesdays).
  • Create separate data banks for failing strategies by day.
• Conclusion:
  • Use these methods to refine strategy selection and improve performance.
