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.

@reb

You seem to have changed the maxpositionsize (line 36 and 37) from the original 10 to 6.

If I run the backtest with your figures, the system closes on the 21st, but with the original it closes today.

Best regards, David

Hi!

Thats why. Your code only buys two Times if season multiplyer is set to 3 and maxcandleslongwithoutprofit resets after each buy.

Shouldn’t trading hours be different with for example DOW for the timezone difference?

ONCE startTime = 90000
ONCE endTime = 210000

hi guys, i have one answer….
how do you optimize a trading system like this?
there are too many variables, prorealtime can’t manage all.
so, what do you do?
first optimize signal line, then filter, then seasonal multipler, and at least stop loss and take profit?
or other order?

@reiner?

THANKS!!

@Bandido

The guide to start with the optimisation can be found in post 19123 in the other PF TS swing forum.

What’s your opinion?
Will you keep your positions open this weekend, having the french election in mind?

good question

2 weeks ago, I have cut my positions and there was a big gap monday morning

Thnaks to polls, Macron should be president, a bullish gap may happen

but we often say : buy the rumor, sell the news, so I don’t know what to do
