Hi zilliq,

I optimise all Pathfinder variables with the aim to fulfil two criterias with a 10k Euro account:

• >70% profitable trades
• <25% maximum drawdown

I optimize all multipliers with the related Pathfinder daily version to consider the maximum available data history. After that I do the same with the related Pathfinder 4H version (200.000 candles) and compare the results. Last step is a quality check with external data resources e.g. equityclock.com.

Here is an example for the DAX:

ONCE January1 = 3 //0 risk(3)
ONCE January2 = 0 //3 ok
ONCE February1 = 3 //3 ok
ONCE February2 = 3 //0 risk(3)
ONCE March1 = 3 //0 risk(3)
ONCE March2 = 2 //3 ok
ONCE April1 = 3 //3 ok
ONCE April2 = 3 //3 ok
ONCE May1 = 1 //0 risk(1)
ONCE May2 = 1 //0 risk(1)
ONCE June1 = 1 //1 ok 2
ONCE June2 = 2 //3 ok
ONCE July1 = 3 //1 chance
ONCE July2 = 2 //3 ok
ONCE August1 = 2 //1 chance 1
ONCE August2 = 3 //3 ok
ONCE September1 = 3 //0 risk(3)
ONCE September2 = 0 //0 ok
ONCE October1 = 3 //0 risk(3)
ONCE October2 = 2 //3 ok
ONCE November1 = 1 //1 ok
ONCE November2 = 3 //3 ok
ONCE December1 = 3 // 1 chance
ONCE December2 = 2 //3 ok

The used values are the adjusted results of the Pathfinder 4H optimisation. The values behind the comments are the best long term values.  External data for the DAX you find here: http://charts.equityclock.com/dax-index-seasonal-chart

Best, Reiner

that’s right, in FTSE life trading minimum contract size is 2, I’ll change it
