Hi Guys,
I have worked out a chart for determining my position sizing for the DAX 4H V6.
I have adapted my seasonal multiplier and max position sizing in my code as detailed in the picture.
The plan is too reinvest the profits and increase my position size by 1 every 5000 account increase.
Does this look right? What are your thoughts.
@traderfred
Not very academic but simple! I think i will do the same…
however, when you stop the system, profits with this system are reset. Is it a problem for increasing the allocation (equity = Capital + StrategyProfit) in the next trade on this instrument?
@ Winnie37: I think that when you only stop the bot, but keep it in ‘waiting mode’, profits are still there.
But that’s the first time i’m doing that, so I maybe wrong!

Would this TS work with a smaller account-size? Say 1k euro’s insted of 10k?
What do I need to change for it to work?
Loving your work Reiner!
Best regards,

Hi guys,
I’m running Heng Sang v5b3 at the moment. It closed a long position at 02:49:58 this night. But opened a new long position 1 second later. Isn’t that weird?

Hi Christian and welcome,
Please set your country code in your profile. Smallest account size for Pathfinder DAX 4H V6 is in my opinion 4k (2 x max drawdown + margin * max.position size). For a 4k account size you have to reduce the max position size to 3 contracts and all saisonal multiplier to 1. I know here are some guys trading Pathfinder with a lower size but that is their own decision and they know the risk.
Best, Reiner

Hang Seng opened a new position at 22835 17:00.
But it’s night time in China. Why is pathfinder taking positions at night? Do I need to change some settings so pathfinder only open trades when the market is open or in his after market hours?

Never mind, after changing the start and endtime it’s solved.

Pathfinder DOW 4H opened a Long Position yesterday 09.01.2017 at 9pm(21Uhr) at 19904.5. It was closed today.
In backtest i cant see this Position, even if i’m testing the last 4 years till today. Any idea?

Armin

Hi Kasper,
I have seen that you still made some contributions in cfta’s great topic about grid orders. I wonder if the used exit mechanism used there could be useful in Pathfinder. Nicolas has recommended to replace trailing stop with this exit mechanism.
What do you think or better it would be great if you could verify it with your version for small accounts.
Thanks, Reiner
@arke
I am running DOW v6 and mine did not open a long position on the 9th..
