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.

I started pathfinder on FTSE100 in the end of april. It’s made one trade 8 maj, not ended yet.

The strange thing is when i backtest I see a trade from maj 2 – maj 9. Why has it not made this trade live? Could be that my system stopped at the wrong time before I restarted it, or has anyone else had the same issue?

The trade on May 2 is still open. The position on May 8 was an accumulation.

I can confirm the SMI position, however I limited my size so did not have a second position opened (at least I now know that part of the code restriction works well). The HS position (both in here and in the swing system was debited a 50.6pt cost for a dividend charge (9am GMT) which is really painful especially considering that the index has retraced all of the drop (and more) since the morning.

In the backtest SMI has opened 2 positions the same day in the past on a few occasions, so it is probably ok 🙂

@manel: I was really surpised as well from the high dividend charge for our 2 hs50 shorts:

15Mai17 10:00:15 | Dividendenanpassung in Dividendenanpassung in Hong Kong HS50 Cash (HKD10 Mini Contract) converted at 0.1178 | -119,22€

By far, the highest trade cost that I ever had. Before there were div costs like 20€ per HS50 short contract.
