  Intrabar multiple trades. They can only be taken into account in well-fashion when tick-by-tick is calculated.

  Interesting ! This would be the first reason that I heard of for having it Off.

  
  @Gianluca, watch for the Tick mode column in the Optimization Result list. If that stays “relatively close” to zero, you will be fine without Tick by Tick On just the same. What “relatively close” means is not easy to explain, but must be observed and understood. For example : have 100 trades and that number at 20, is not good because 20% will be unreliable and *always* decided in the favor of the more gain (which is not what you’d want). Is the number of trades 1000 and 10 trades are off, this is 1% with probably (never sure) too much gain.
  All obviously depends on how many trades (in and out) would occur in e.g. the 4 hr TF. If that never would be more than 1-in anyway, then the tick mode column will show a zero, like in my example.

  The tick-by-tick mode allows you to know exactly what is in and what is out.

  Deaf or Blind? Pathfinder never ever close a trade in the same candle, the tick x tick is useless.

  Hello! Today on France’s National Day (Bastille Day), we are pleased to publish our adaptation of this PATHFINDER strategy to the CAC40 index.

  There are many versions of this strategy (for multiple markets, including the CAC too!). Now we just want to collaborate with our adaptation.

  We got the “pathfinder H4 dax_mod_V4” version, and applied the next changes:

  • Use H2 instead of H4

  • Optimization of different params, including separating some of them between long and short

  • Do not cumulate orders by default, reducing the risk (max number of positions configurable by the property “maxPositionsAllowed”)

  • Add a non-intrusive trailing stop (does not apply in many cases, only change a few the original strategy to reduce the risk too)

  This version was just developed and launched in a personal account, then there is no OutOfSample period.

  Expecting that we can enjoy this version! Bonne fête nationale!
