without buying a new license
So I’d buy a new license, no big deal or difficult.
The inability to remove ‘expired license Algos’ from my Platform has caused me to take a step back and rethink.
I find having a clear list for Algo backtest makes me so much more ready to install an Algo for which somebody is asking for help etc.
In the past, when I had dozens of Algos listed I used to think … oh No, I don’t want to add another to my List, I can’t find what I want now out of my own Algo List.
Also, I no longer have Issues with platform freezing / hanging; such Issues ceased (for me) when my Algos listed are kept < 12 or so. Mostly I have zero / nil Algos listed as I store them all on my PC.
Now, if I trial MarketPlace Algos, I would be forced into having Algos listed on my Platform for the next 20 years and would repeatedly curse them for overloading my backtest list etc.
I am having a rant as I feel strongly about this.
I hope you can think of an ‘easy way’ (for you) round this Nicolas?
Thank You in Anticipation

Thanks Nicolas for the answer, we saw it today.
We believe that it is very important for users to know the total number of updates to a product, and the dates of the updates.
Otherwise, it is very easy to cover up detrimental operations by algorithm providers and misleading advertising about the alleged benefits.
In this way we protect users from possible fraud.
Thanks!

Although I understand perfectly what you want to express, I rather think that the availability of the changelog proves the follow-up and the efficiency of a vendor. According to you, the update of an algorithm should not change the backtest of the past that took place before this update? The simple modification of the period of the moving average of the indicator that establishes your trend will have this impact, the seller will modify it simply because the market regime has changed and he has to adapt it, it is his duty as a supplier to his customers, and in this case we can’t talk about “fraud”, right?
To solve all these questions and debates, I have in mind to create a real time tracking of strategies on a third party site, a kind of labeling to allow anyone to follow the trading history, no brain filter here, just some months of work 😉
Wow that sounds a fantastic idea Nicolas, take care and don’t make yourself ill (again?) over all this extra work!
When I dive into MarketPlace, after a few minutes my head is spinning with all the different ways Vendors promote their products. This makes it hard to compare one Algo with another etc.
The good thing about tracking on a third party site is that performance charts / information would be standardised across all Algo’s.

Exactly, and I’m eager to complete this work, but still a lot to do!

Good morning Mr. Nicolas, and friends!
Indeed, you are partially right, it is true that market conditions can change drastically and require updating algorithms.
In fact, privately, from Skynet we let you know a few days ago that at least one of our bots will probably be updated soon.
However, we will let all foreros know the changes made. We have to understand that updates can be a double-edged sword:
-Updates can be code improvements.
-The updates can be concealment of past operations with damage, and in this way keep the backtests “clean” for future users.
To our team it seems a very good idea that users can see the operations of the bots !!!
Do not stress, Christmas is coming, it is time to enjoy, and with family and friends.
😉

Excellent initiative Nicolas.
Regarding the past Backtests I don’t think there are people who look at the backtests to buy a product so even if you improve them what they are used for ….. instead as Nicolas says there will be a moment that you will have to tweak or improve an algorithm.
I believe that those who buy want to check the operations that have taken place for months to have confidence in what they buy …. then like all algorithms they will have excellent moments and negative periods, but this is part of trading.
For the Backtest it is sufficient to go to Prorealcode there are 197 strategies all Backtest and free.
Maybe it’s just my thought and there will be someone watching Backtest to buy.Hello

Correct Mr. Mauro.
You and we try to ensure that users have sufficient information about the algorithms and the benefits.
But think about it… If we see an algorithm that is updated, let’s say monthly, it gives a lot to think about, and if in addition, the providers give little or no information about the updates … something smells bad there.
