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.

And Bund and Corn, both with accumulation. Corn July -17 closes on June 29 and the new one hasn’t come up yet as far as I can tell.

You guys always post strategies that take say 25 trades in 20-35 years. What is the purpose of that? Of course it looks nice with 8X% winning trades and so on but this test are not statistically significant by any mean. I can hardly imagine that the results in real trading would be similar to your tests. Besides pretty boring with a strategy that only takes 1-2 trades per year.

Or maybe I’m all wrong and miss the point here. In this case I’d be thankful to be enlightened. 🙂

@Despair

The swing systems are designed to take a position according to seasonality.

Some years the conditions are not met and no position is taken.

You are more than welcome to contribute your experience and thoughts to help out.

Best regards, David

My OMX is a bit more conservative.

I’ve noticed David that i’m not really convinced that the line “once maxProfit …..” works well.

For example in your version you have two trades exceeds the 25.000 SEK, but according to the line “once maxProfit”

the maximum should be 25.000 SEK. Maybe when the signal is triggered it will be closed next day? But i think, since this example

has a 24 hours trading, it should be exact 25.000 SEK in my opinion.

IBEX 2EUR contract.

In PRT you’ll also find the 1 EURO contract. This one is not available in IG.

After contacting them they informed me that they will also not add it in IG in the future.

The smallest contract will 2 EURO for the IBEX.

@Patrick

Yes, I have also thought about that. Maxprofit is exceeded in many different systems.

I have checked a few systems and it seems as it closes the day after the maxprofit is reached.

Regarding your Copper, I changed the spread to 30, but it is still very good 🙂
