GSB Pro vs Manual Strategy Builders
Understanding the difference between automated discovery and manual testing
The Fundamental Difference
Manual Builders
You choose the indicators. "I want to test a strategy using RSI and Bollinger Bands." You specify what to test, the software just runs the numbers.
Perfect if you have specific ideas you want to validate. But what if better indicators exist that you haven't thought of?
GSB Pro
The computer discovers the indicators. You provide market data, set preferences, and let the system test thousands of possibilities to find what actually works.
Perfect for discovering non-obvious patterns and removing human bias. You might discover indicators you'd never have thought to test.
