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.

Hi Reiner,

Could it be possible to find all H4 versions in one resumed post for easy access….? I know you ‘re busy…. 😉

“DefParam PreLoadBars”

I’m live on dax pathfinder and occationally i get an error message regarding the preloadbars.

I have read in previous posts that i’m not the only one with this error.

In the original code preloadbars is set to 10000. But i read this in en manual.

” By default this parameter is equal to 1000. It cannot be less than 0 or higher than 5000″

I have tried with 10000 and 20000 but with the same error message.

I’m setting it to 5000 now if nobody else has any suggestion?

@djtaktik

has asked in the library why the DAX Pathfinder performance is so much better than the CAC. Pathfinder makes the money mainly on the long side. Attached you’ll find a comparision of the two indices and you can see that the DAX has clearly outperformed the CAC in the last years (55% / 33%).

Thank you for your answer. I didn’t notice that there is a long biais in you strategy. Good to now.

What is relevant is that if we modify parameters on the cac, we don’t managed to be profitable.

Do you try to have different parameters for long and short side to optimize short trades ?

sorry for my last question. I had the false impression that when I did the test on the cac the results were bad.

@all

How do you guys act when the algorithm has a big win and you “know” (have a gut feeling) that it will loose momentum and fade. As the DOW/DAX trade in pathfinder yday and the day before. We are now 200ish € down from the top.

How do you act. Do you close the trade manually or have full confidence in the robot?

@CN

It’s your decision because it’s your money that is in the line of fire. In my opinion it’s not a shame to take the money out of the market if you feel better especiality at the beginning. Take the win and look forward to the next trade. Now you have a buffer and are more relaxed for the next round.

@reiner

True, but that fear of missing out is a real thing, at least for me. I will probably let my winners run Ala buffet style. Let’s hope we haven’t topped out 🙂

Have you closed your dow/DAX trades in pathfinder? 🙂
