Pathfinder Trading System

Reiner · 2016-09-22T19:00:38+00:00

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.

@Oskar,

In the Dropbox above in forumtopic #31759 on this page you can find all PF 4H algo’s. The smallest code you will find is for the DAX 4H with a minimum of 4K.

It is not recommended to start with $ 1.000,00. PF needs some “room” to move around and it is possible that intraday the loss exceeds your account. Position will be closed,

PF will be rejected and you account is blown-up.

Thanks for the answer wp01. Will try for some time on demoaccount, then maybe start with dax 4h if it goes well 🙂 Backtesting it works with 1000 eu but I guess it’s safer to have more if the first trades fails.

Thanks Patrick

Very funny…….Is this a demo account?

The reality looks like this…..

Pathfinder opened a position yesterday at 9:00 pm but you don’t see them and closed the other 6 position with a lost of 4028.40$.

Thanks Michi

@MichiM, @ Jimbob,

No not a demo account. There is certainly something wrong with adding positions in PRT. I noticed in ProOrder weird behavior in the total result when positions are accumulated.

This was also happening with CAC last week. I have no idea what causes this. If you take a look at the ProOrder picture i can assure you that my loss is not €123K for the DOW 4H.

Also attached an overview of the outstanding DOW trades. The 9 contracts are for the PF DOW 4H, the 2 contracts are for the PF Day.

The €123k loss you’re talking about is just a bug in PRT, I have something similar and I think they’re aware of it.

Yes it is a bug and it looks like it appears when positions are accumulated.

I have not seen €123K debited from my account…:-)

I have 9 positions open, DOW 4h v6 from Jan 15.

3 positions each on April 5, 10 and 20, just like Patrick.

Best regards, David

@MichiM.

The picture you showed is from the Dow 2 dollar mini.

We have it run on the 1 euro mini.

That is why you have different results. When you take a look at page one you see the DOW is activated on the EUR 1 indices.

Don’t know if the 2 dollar mini gives simular results.
