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.

Yes, but I noticed a stragne “view of profit” on 10.3 like the system still run but no position has taken. I think that something didn’t work, then, I reset the system cancel it and restart, now i wait a good entry.

This may be the case… Demo is 10.3 and live is 10.2… Does anyone having 10.2 LIVE have the dax positions?

Hey guys,

if you are not sure about correct position opening have a look on your program in backtest mode.

just view signalline and the lows and highs (day,week,month) by adding the command “graph” ad end of program. Then you can check if signalline has crossed one of the triggers. And don`t forget the filter.

Regards

Dear all,

Yesterday I reported a successful trade at 9.00 AM (Brussels time, GMT +1) and I had NO trades at 17.00 like most of you people had. The strangest thing of all is, if I run the Pathfinder v6.1 in backtest…. It does no trade at 9:00, but trades at 17:00 like you did.

So there is a clear difference between this backtest and reality, at least in my case. Please see attachment: capture.jpg shows the transactions IG did, capture2 the backtest (blue arrow 17:00) and reality (green arrow 9:00)

Is this an IG issue ?? It shouldn’t happen that different things happen using the same code.

Greetings, Glen

Variable / Widening of spreads by IG on Live compared to Fixed spreads on Backtest may account for some of the difference.

I’ve just had a Trailing Stop taken out on a manual trade and it left me thinking wtf happened there! I traced it back and it can only be accounted for by a ‘flash / instantaneous widening of the spread to take out the stop’.

The above ‘spread widening’ could also cause a Trade to execute on Live whereas it may not on Backtest with whatever value of ‘fixed spread’ the user has entered in the backtest engine.

Just a few thoughts.
