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.

@ Mark

Thanks for information. I’m afraid and I stopped the robot because of the “hard” Brexit tomorrow.

Hi Kasper,

sorry for the late feedback regarding your request.

you asked for a more conservative setup for Pathfinder DAX 4H for small accounts. As you know the system needs the possibility for grid orders to delivers the excellent performance. This means that the system should be able to trade at least 3 contracts. For that setup I recommend 4k account size (3 contracts * 1k plus margin). One of my requirements is that Pathfinders drawdown shouldn’t be higher then 25% of the account size.

Enclosed is a Pathfinder DAX 4H V6 that fulfil all the above requirements.

Best, Reiner

Hi again Mark!

My mistake. Had started DOW 4H on DAX. It’s difficult to keep up with all new versions on different accounts:)

@Alco

In HS, my long positions closed at 13pm and a short one opened at the same time.

Can you confirm a short position?

Best regards, David

Hi Mark.

I suppose that the short entry did not start because January 2 (the second half of January) in V6 =0, that means that no trade has to be done during this second part.

@Petrus

Ahh, of course that makes sense but doesn’t explain why my back test (identical parameters) shows it take the trade?
