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,

I am running the latest Pathfinder system on DAX with a max of 5 open positions, since I am doing this with a 5k account.

This morning, the Pathfinder made 2 trades in the first candle and generated a neat 98.4 Euro’s. Wonderful system!

Can anyone confirm this trade ?

Thank you so much and congratulations to Reiner!

Glen

My Dax has just kicked in on Demo 3 contracts.

Bought at a all time high is this not a little worrying.

Hi axmichi and welcome,

you asked for a setup with a very low risk. Pathfinder is using grid order mechanism on the long side to achieve the exceptional performance. The algo needs room to cumulate for that feature and due to that fact the smallest account size I can recommend is 4k Euro. Please find attached a tweaked DAX version for a 4k Euro account.

Best, Reiner

Hi again,

@Bandido: I am live with the latest Pathfinder v6 and had a great trade this morning, but nothing happened at 17:00. But you did!

On the other hand, some traders had the same trade as myself this morning, usually with three positions (I got two because of the 5k account) and some others haven’t.

Shouldn’t it be the same for all of us if the code has not been changed ?

Still very happy!

Probably the seasonal multiplier is set to 0 instead of 2/3. So it won’t open trades in feb2.

Pathfinder DAX V6 opened a long position for 3 contracts at 1700 CET, the version for small accounts differ a little bit due the lower drawdown.

Hi Reiner,

First of all, I want to compliment you on this beautiful piece of coding and strategy.

The only thing I have done to the code you published is set the available capital to 5000 and adjust the MaxSizeLong to 5 (and short accordingly).

Still, pathfinder did a great trade this morning for me and, apparently, a lot of others had a trade at 17:00, while I did not.

For your information, I am at CET+1 (Brussels) like Reiner and there is no time issue.

Thanks for your awesome efforts!

Kind regards from the “Trumpian hellhole” 🙂

I had 2 UK Live Trades open at 11984.5 @ 16:00 GMT, 1 Long Trade on 4H V6 and 1 Long Trade on 4H V3.

They quickly ended up around £40 loss and IMO the DAX is ‘topping out’ so I closed both trades / Systems manually when they pulled back to around £4 loss. Too much manual trading to let them run!? 🙂
