Hi zilliq,
I have read your comments and that make me think but the used risk code is only to play around. Each should adjust the max position size to it’s account size. The point here is that the guys go all-in with a draft version without checking the algo in demo first or start with a small size.
Best, Reiner

My bad, I meant navigator.
Just as a reference, I am NOT blaming this on anyone. I am happy that you contribute this much to the community Reiner.
Drawbacks are part of the game. Sad thing is that I didn’t close it before the Trump speech. Which I should have.
Thing is that I realy would like to continue with the system, seeing how I lost so much I might get back a bit. What do you think Reiner/guys? This big of a loss is pretty unusual but you never know.
Thanks again for everything
I think everyone (especially newbies) should read Reiners’ post in #26974 and #26980. Few words but they are very important. Always adjust the position size to your risk appetite, preferably start in demo mode first and ensure you have picked up the latest versions with any improvements/suggestions. We all want people to be successful here and these few suggestions should help ensure you are able to give yourself the best chance of success.
@CN – Am very sorry that you had to take a loss on the first time. It’s really just unfortunate timing esp with the speech that night. You seem to understand the flows of trading so that’s good at least and you have not taken it badly. I think the system has merit personally. The idea behind it is solid if you read the background on it and do some research on Google. So I think we should continue developing it (and it needs that). But you should perhaps reduce the size dramatically or follow in demo mode. At the end of the day, profits are a slow accumulation and require patience and if we stick with it (once its agreed by most here that the system works) then I’m hopeful that you should get back your losses and more.
I’m sure once we have a few more results we can then compare with backtest and understand if everything is operating as it should. As always, many thanks to Reiner for his time and contributions on here.
Hi Reiner,
Thanks for your comment
On Pathfinder this was really what you wanted to do ?, because as you see on my post on Pathfinder (not Navigator), the risk, with the line I mentioned, is much much higher than the 5 % who was defined at the beginning (Often 5-6 positions)
Thanks and Regards
Hi Guys,
For different reasons I decided to finish all my public projects in this forum. Thanks a lot for your support especially to Nicolas. I’ve learned a lot in the last year. This forum is a great source of PRT know how and inspired me very much.
Good trades, Reiner

@reiner
Woah, that is realy sad to hear. The forum just lost alot of knowledge.
Is i because the system isn’t running as it should (we know it works, so it shouldn’t be that) or because other stuff?

How do I cut the size in half? I still want too use this live, just not with that size.
CN – Change this
ONCE minSizeLong = 1
ONCE midSizeLong = 2
ONCE maxSizeLong = 4
ONCE maxSizeShort = 4
just to confirm DAX 1 Short was opened on Friday @12012.3

@malek,
This is navigator, not pathfinder. nav has not opened a short pos.

See the diference in win/loss and in the numbers of trade. Why has that changed?
Hi Reiner. Thanks for the strategy – looks very interesting.
You mention “The system uses smart position management mechanism such as order cumulation, position sizing based on historical monthly behavior and maximal position size monitoring.”
Can you elaborate on the how the order cumulation and position sizing is derived?
If we wanted to reduce the risk of the strategy, is there a way to cut the rate of which position sizing increases?
Many thanks.
For anyone who is still following this, both Navigator V1 and V2 systems opened a long position on 10 Mar 4pm @ 11,956
Yes I can confirm, Both Navigators opened a long position. But for me, Navigator V2 opened 11,954 and Navigator V1 11,956.
Both on demo.
@CN
I´m on my phone now so can´t check the code but isn´t it because of the accumulation?
