  hi reiner ,

  I have already begun to translate pathfinder for MT4, is a very different language from PRT, so I wonder if you can give me your email because I need to ask you some questions about the conditions and do not want to write and confusion on this blog.

  if you can of course

  thank you
  miguel

  Hi Ale,

  Pathfinder’s trading algorithm based on the availability of 24h quoting (6 H4 candles per day). This feature was available for DAX since August 2010 this means that Pathfinder V5B2 parameter settings probably doesn’t work before that date.

  best, Reiner

  @Ale.

  Dear Ale.

  Can you please show us the results of your tests including 2006 and so on? Most of us can not go back so far because there is no data available at IG.

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards,

  Patrick

  Reiner,
  I would like to place an order to your pathfinder that: in case of closure prediction expected the candle of 9.00 (based on maxCandlesLong or short with or without profit) the advances that of the 21 (or close the position anyway to 22)
  it’s possible ?

  this command in my opinion should reduce unnecessarily risk exposure at night since the closure and ‘planned opening of the European markets.

  Please find attached an adapted Pathfinder DAX backtest from 2006 – 2016 reduced to core trading hours 8 – 22 CET (availability of 4 x 4H candles over the whole time period). 24 hours quotes and availability of weekend data makes the system significantly better.

  best, Reiner

  Hi Miguel,

  as far as I understand your request, you want to close the position on last possible daily candle (eg. DAX 2100) if the maximum holding candle check will trigger the position close on next morning, right?

  Try this code:

  iF (Time < 210000) THEN numberCandles = (BarIndex - TradeIndex) ELSE numberCandles = (BarIndex - TradeIndex) + 2 ENDIF m1 = posProfit > 0 AND numberCandles >= maxCandlesLongWithProfit m2 = posProfit > 0 AND numberCandles >= maxCandlesShortWithProfit m3 = posProfit < 0 AND numberCandles >= maxCandlesLongWithoutProfit m4 = posProfit < 0 AND numberCandles >= maxCandlesShortWithoutProfit

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  iF (Time < 210000) THEN numberCandles = (BarIndex - TradeIndex) ELSE numberCandles = (BarIndex - TradeIndex) + 2 ENDIF   m1 = posProfit > 0 AND numberCandles >= maxCandlesLongWithProfit m2 = posProfit > 0 AND numberCandles >= maxCandlesShortWithProfit m3 = posProfit < 0 AND numberCandles >= maxCandlesLongWithoutProfit m4 = posProfit < 0 AND numberCandles >= maxCandlesShortWithoutProfit

  Hi guys,

  Tomorrow is 1th of November and Pathfinder V5B2 will by default boost every long trade with the saisonal multiplier of 3. This behavior could be a chance but is also a risk in fast markets. As discussed I’ll reduce my risk in life trading and omit the saisonal booster for November due the comming election day.

  best, Reiner

  // old ONCE November = 3 // new ONCE November = 1

  1 2 3 4 5

  // old ONCE November = 3   // new ONCE November = 1

  The Pathfinder v5 opened a short position on Oct 26 at 1700. It is still open!

  According to the backtest it should have been closed at 0900 today. Why?

  Hi H_kan,

  I also observed that behavior today. The limit of the stop loss was wrong as well and the position had closed at 9 am due maximal holding period has been reached. I saw some errors in PRT protocol and I have no clue what is the reason. I stopped Pathfinder and the position was closed. Had others have the the same problem?

  best, Reiner
