Hello Reiner!
Nice to see you active here on the forum. Understand from the new versions that you still put a lot of time and hard work on Pathfinder which is much apreciated. On older versions you helped us who trade smaller accounts to downsize Pathfinder to lower risk. What parameters do you recommend for us to adjust on DAX V8 1H version?
Many thanks!

@Gianluca Albina,
As far as i know it doesn’t remember the loss. But on the picture you attached you show two different indices. Left the Dax 1€ and right the Dax 5€. You can not compare those.
I can confirm that on the Dax this morning the V7 version added 3 positions at 09.00 hours. The reason why it didn’t add the positions on the 5€ version
can be several. Is it live? Not enough money, not enough contracts in ProOrder. Not enough margin. ( 3positions x € 5 = around € 1K margin).
Regards,
@Gianluca Albino and @wp01
In backtest there is no difference between 1€ and 5€, but as you say Patrick, other factors may decide.
the 5€ is on the demo the 1€ is on real, in the demo account i have 30k found and no limitation by contract. dunnow
Not too shabby so far for V8 in this new year’s DAX rally. You may well be onto something Reiner. Unfortunately my beer and pizza money is still virtual.

I’m running DAX 1H V8 live and the positions are not closed yet.
According to the backtest they were closed at 08.00 hours.
Also the buying of the positions didn’t follow the BT yesterday. Mine bought every hour 1 position until 9 positions and the backtest
says 4 times 2 postions at 09.00, 10.00, 11.00 and 12.00 O’clock.
I have not changed anything in the positionsize of the code.
Anyone else with this issue?
Thanks.
@wp01 same for me.
Eh, those 9 positions closed right now 🙂

Thanks David. I stopped them manually.
After that i reactivated the Dax 1H V8 again and just at 11 O’clock it bought again 1 position…..
Mmmm….could be of course, but if it keeps buying every hour the rest of the day it doesn’t seems right.
According to the BT it bought at 10.00 hours 2 positions. Looks the same as yesterday.
Oh dear…. it seems we have another case of backtest not matching reality. Is reality more profitable though – if so that could be a PRT first!

I stopped them manually so my results are not matching with yours. But it is not a big difference.
The results of dajvop should better match because he let it run longer till it closed at eleven.
The fact that the strategy behaviour is so different from demo to live is a little concerning. More cumulating trades usually means more drawdown at some point as the equal and opposite reaction to more profit at others.
Reiner is running it live so it will be interesting to see what his has been doing compared to demo.

It looks like there is an issue with the trendmultiplier. It is not working properly or not at all.
If you change that to 1 in the code it is shut off and the trades look more or less what has happened in live trading.
But with the multiplier to 1 it is still in postion.
As attached:
Yes, that looks like my live run.

Indead, and it is not in position as i said earlier, because of the 1H delay you see the closure at twelve.
Now we know the cause, who knows the solution 🙂
