Pathfinder Trading System

Reiner · Thu, 22 Sep 2016 19:00:38 +0000

Hi guys, this topic is for all discussions related to the Pathfinder trading system strategies. The system based on four components that work perfectly together. signalline – instrument trend line based on two smoothed averages (Wilder and Time Series) breakout levels – previous daily, weekly and monthly high/lows in combination with fast and slow averages as filters because not every breakout is profitable saisonal behavior – position size will be boost with a multiplier for each month depending on the historical seasonal behavior smart money and position management – grid orders, maximal position size monitoring, superordinate stop loss/take profit, trailing stop and maximum holding periods are used mechanisms The Pathfinder breakout logic works well for many instruments with 24 hour quotes such as DAX, DOW, FTSE, Hang Seng, NIKKEI in 4 hours timeframe. All versions are optimized for an 10k Euro account. Pathfinder strategies offer a statistical advantage but are of course not a holy grail and there is no guarantee to make money with it. The systems are optimized for historical data and historical gains are not a guarantee to be successful in the future. I strictly recommend to adjust the position sizes to your personal account size and try first in demo mode. The results in life trading will differ from the backtest results. I also recommend to start in life trading with a small account size. Anyone can use the programs for free and at their own risk. Pathfinder is my private and fully transparent algorithmic trading project exclusively implemented for ProRealTime 10.3. The status is experimental and I don’t trade all the systems presented here. I would also like to thank all members who have helped to improve the system with their contributions. Please find below the last released Pathfinder trading system versions for suitable instruments.

Hello,

Is anybody running PathFinder-FTSE-4H-V1? I have it on demo account. It’s long with 3 contracts since Jan 3rd, but they don’t show in the Probacktest position window (the histogram). Strange thing is that they appear in my position manager.

@Ale,

FTSE did a fantastic job in the past few weeks!

That’s why i’m thinking to trade Dax, dow and ftse live. More variation to play with.

10k. And then reduce the maximum positionsize for each instrument. That should do the job. Let me know what you guys think.

Hey guys!

I don´t know if you´re interested but I have converted the V6-4h pathfinder to work with 15min. It has a much lower drawdown – about 50% less (17% vs. 30%) if you test both from -2014.12.09.
