Once again- My apologies for all the posts- But I think I made a mistake. Again the MM risk calculation. By observing the actual trade with STOP orders, I was able to take a different approach. Problem is always when using the %LOSS. How is it calculated? By observing the other way around one can see from the STOP order how much of his equity one would loose if reached. Then we know the risk. Before I took the countofposition in to the equation, however it think it already accounted for in the STOP order
try this graph- Much better with 4.5% risk
graph ((tradeprice-(tradeprice-(tradeprice*(stoploss/100)))*pipsize*pointvalue)/equity)*100 COLOURED(0,0,255) AS "MAXRISK"//Aqua

I have the same conclusion as what explained by Reiner
Monday with Close – Dclose(1) normally deliver a better trading result than using Dclose(2). In some cases, Monday with huge GAP Up will have more obvious impact especially “CurrentMarketGain” is one of the important criteria to enter / exit.
Close – Dclose(1) = X
Close – Dclose(2) = X + GAP

Hi Reiner,
IF ( (l1 OR l4 OR l2 OR (l3 AND f2)) AND NOT alreadyReducedLongPosition) THEN
I tried to zoom to each signals to verify the performance and “l1” signal apparently not giving good result. Do you have the same result? If you have the same result, will it be better to remove “l1” in buy direction? Screenshots attached for comparison.

Hi Petrus,
we discussed this point here in the forum. Pathfinder consider sunday data if available (e.g. DAX, FTSE, DOW) and this is a benefit and not a lack. When you analyse which weekday is the most profitable one you will find ou that it is the Monday. There are several reasons for that well known statistical anomaly and IG sunday quotes bosst this efect.
Hi Reiner,
Is the majority of Pathfinder’s performance due to the breakout of the Sunday Daily Highs/Lows by the Signal Line?
Hi guys!
Watching/trading the Sweden OMX both on demo and live there was a difference between them today. Yesterday at 21.00 a long position was opened @1553,66 with a stop @1468,21 on both. Today at 9.00 the position on the demo was closed after the stop being changed to 1544.53 and hit but on the live the stop is still at 1468,21 and the position is still open. Any ideas why there is a difference?
And thanks to all for your contribution and sharing in this thread. It’s a really exciting journey with Reiners great trading system and I hope it will continue forward and be a solid auto system for all of us in our live trading:)

I am running OMX V6b2 2013 live and mine opened long yesterday at 21.00 at 1553.66 and closed today at 09.03 at 1545.11.

Hi Choo Jen-Sin,
The exceptional performace is the result of several aspects. Trading Monday breakout is only one of these.

Hi CKW,
we already discussed this point here because flowsen123 made the same discovery
http://www.prorealcode.com/topic/pathfinder-trading-system/page/16/#post-16316
I confirm that l1 is the weakest long signal. The question is if the system get not over optimized and we will miss some good trades in the future e.g. last week the very profitable monthly high breakout. I personally tend to let it as it is.
I was wondering if you could check if some interessting asian indexes such as Singapur, China, Hang Seng are suitable for the Pathfinder breakout algo. Hang Seng works well, you will find in the forum an V5. The Australien index didn’t work.
Best, Reiner

Hi Alco, wp01, Jesús,
I don’t understand why you are reporting so small losses. In my demo, the short trade started on 12/12 at 17:00 hours and ended on 14/12 at 21:00, 13 bars in total and 310€ of losses. Anyone can confirm a loss of this size or similar?
I am running v6 live, unaltered.
Opened short at 17.00 on the 12th at 11190.3 and closed yesterday at 21.00 (14 bars) at 11247.1 with a 56.8 € loss.
Best regards, David
Hi Petrus

Hi Petrus.
I can confirm 13 bars from 12/12 at 17:00 hours until 14/12 at 21:00. But the result is what i mentioned earlier; a loss of € 59,30. ( sell @ 11.190,30, buy @ 11.249,60).
It was pretty volatile at 21.00 last night due to the ratehike, maybe that could have cause the difference?
If you didn’t change anything in the code and you are also using V6 than it could not be only slippage that causes this. So, but three people confimed this small loss now so it should be easy to find i think.
Regards,
Patrick
