Based on equity curve smoothness, not equity performance, the robustness is enhanced over alternative tools that search based on equity. By merely scanning alternatives in a Monte Carlo technique, "System Seeker" avoids problems of overfitting commonly found in "genetic programming" tools. Explore and find novel trading systems in seconds for most any security.

A Novel Way to Find Novel Systems

System Seeker is written in Google's Go programming language with provides us concurrent, parallel computing built right into the language. Go compiles to a 64 bit optimized binary which computes extremely fast. On top of that (literally) is a web browser interface. This enables you to install System Seeker on a fast box and access it across your network from a laptop or even a tablet.

A Lot of Control Yet Simple

System Seeker enables you to control the type of code generated, in and out of sample percentages, the number of alternative systems to evaluate, the complexity of those systems, robustness evaluations, parameterized functions (or not), which means having parameters to internal indicators such as moving averages and stochastics that Dakota can adapt or you can set in NinjaTrader. You can set a fixed trading cost which will slow down trading a bit (less frequent position changes) especially useful for forex.
