I might be causing more problems here but I believe these are all the latest versions of Pathfinder TS that have come directly from Reiner. I can only post a few of them in one go but these are probably what most want.

Hi Mark,
Yes, I have and I know that some requests and reviews are still outstanding (@Alco, @dajvop, @Elsborgtrading, @MichiM). I have looked up briefly to @dajvop HS version and it looks quite good. I still need this week to finish the revision of the Pathfinder daily versions. I’m very keen to have this for my own account management and it’s prerequisite for the Pathfinder swing idea.
It’s curse and blessing that this little breakout algo works so well for many instruments :-). All the work I do in my free time in the evening and the weekend so my time is unfortunately limited. But I don’t want to whine because it really makes a lot of fun and I really appreciate that many others help with their contributions to make the system even better.I’ll do it asap.Cheers, Reiner

This is the best and quicker solution I found: congratulations, you are now a ‘moderator’ 🙂 You can edit any posts and add as many attachments you want to any post. I suggest you to add last versions of Pathfinder to the first post of the topic for everyone convenience now.
EDIT: or create a locked topic for each version in the forum, and give the link here in the first post, with the last version in the first message of each topic. (OMG this is my 2800th post on forum..)
@Winnie37 if you trade with a smaller account than recommended (10k) then you also need to limmit the maxpositionsize according to your own riskprofile, or Reiners recommendation. Also because the DAX v.6 is optimized to use max 15 positions and with a 10K account, I think when changing account size and position size, the code need another optimization. I discovered that when only changing account/position size, positions were not held on the market in the same time as the original V6, it was leaving the market before the V.6. I think it has something to do with the m1-4 posprofit and how they indicate for example max 3 position the entire trade vs. 3+3+3+3 positions added as a gridorder. First 3 position, and when another valid entry signal is given, adding another 3 positions- and so on. When optimizing the maxcandlesxxxxx which the exit m1-4 depends on, it would yield a different result. imagine that the original 3+3+3+3 position in a trade not all position is guaranteed to be profittable, but the code is optimized to have most of them profitable, with less drawdown. When only trading 1 or 3 position in a non gridorder or 1+1+1 gridorder this optimization does not fit.. at least that is what I think. I’m still awaiting Reiner for a comment and recommendation on this in a similar post for a limited account. But there are a lot of requests for Reiner- so things take time 🙂
Long story short- when changing the original ver6 account size- also lower the maxpositionsize variable- and ask for a optimization for the new code here- or wait for Reiners recommendation.
Cheers Kasper

Hi winnie37 and welcome,
Set all saisonal multiplier to 1 and the maximum position size to 3 and make a backtest. Double the calculated drawdown and add the margin for 3 DAX mini contracts. The result is the absolut minimum account size and for that approach I recommended 4k.
That approach is profitable and give the system room for pyramiding but the return is of course not so good.
Best, Reiner
