Pathfinder swing TS

Reiner · Sun, 01 Jan 2017 12:18:50 +0000

In this topic I’d like to publish all Pathfinder swing trading algorithms. The swing trading robots based on the Pathfinder daily code and are adapted to the monthly saisonality introduced with the original Pathfinder Trading System. Each month was separated in two parts (day 1 – 15 and 16 – 31) and the saisonal behavior was determined. The idea is to check twice a month for which instruments Pathfinder swing TS find a promising setup based on historical tests. Pathfinder swing robots running in demo account will deliver the trade signal or can trade automaticly in life account as well. Please find attached the Pathfinder swing roadmap for almost 30 instruments. I will attach the robots for the most promising setups on this post for the current/next period. Pathfinder strategies offer a statistical advantage but are of course not a holy grail and there is no guarantee to make money with it. The systems are optimized for historical data and historical gains are not a garantee to be successful in the future. I strictly recommend to adjust the position sizes to your personal account size and try first in demo mode. The results in life trading will differ from the backtest results. I also recommend to start in life trading with a small account size. Anyone can use the programs for free and at their own risk. Pathfinder swing is my privat and fully transparent algorithmic trading project exclusively implemented for ProRealTime 10.2. The status is experimental and I don’t trade all the systems presented here. I would also like to thank all members who have helped to improve the system with their contributions.

@ Dajvop,

Your algo for Gold relates still to March2

But the Dow looks very promising.

Kind regards

Yes, I seem to have uploaded the wrong one.

Doesn’t matter though, couldn’t get April1 above 67% win rate.

Coffee was rejected for me due to contract minimum size wasn’t met in the code (1.5 contracts).

I am running the system on Coffee Arabica 1€ mini.

Anyone else?

I checked the min.size values of our instruments (see attachment) and had to redo the COCOA algo.
I also do not have a 1EUR mini for CAC (I have it in PRT, but not in IG), so I redid it with a 2EUR mini,

I have uploaded a new package “Pathfinder Swing 04 APR1 v03.zip” with the latest changes (CAC, COCOA, GOLD, MIB).

Thanks everyone for testing our algos and your feedback! 🙂

Hello – I’m just looking at the EU stocks algo for April. Could I confirm that this line is correct?

maxPositionSizeLong = MAX(0, abs(round(maxRisk / (close * stopLossLong / 100) / PointValue) * pipsize))

I just thought the value couldn’t be ‘0’ but I imagine I’m misunderstanding it.

Many Thanks

J.

…again with regards to the EU Stocks algo if I run the backtest then I get the same results as the screenshot in the .zip. If I change the position size from 1 to 2 then I get very different results which isn’t what I was expecting. Both screenshots are attached.

Apologies if this is something obvious that I have misunderstood. Perhaps it isn’t as simple as just changing the position size but the minimum trade size on IG in the UK is £2.

Thinking about it, perhaps this is something to do with the multiplier?

Many Thanks

J.

@Jimbob

That was my mistake when I adjusted the algo for M2A1. I used a template with 0 and forgot to change it.

Set it to 1 to get the same result.
