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.

in 2017, some path strategies don’t have the same results as the previous years : DAX and CAC

when DOW or HS are still profitable as in the past

maybe its time to do some optimization on the dax? the problem is that we have a long uptrend and it could be some downtrend soon..

(i run a light version on 1 hour and its still profitable on demo)

SInce jan 2017,

pathfinder on DAX is terrible … IF you look the period of the Backtest before the operation loss (2013 to 2016) are very very few

COnsidering that this TS in the Backtest before had 80% of Win trade , 7/8 of PFactor and the equity line is very Fantastic .

Actually the result in real live are crucial ..

I’am not very confident about the Trading system for more long period but I ‘ll check

Yes a new difficult trade for path Dax

but with these up and down in short periodes, it s a bit tricky to expect lot of gains with a swing strat.

The best way to do is to stay out as HS strat does

Pathfinder is a trend following strategy. It cannot behave well under this market condition. It is not the code, it is just the market.

I have strong opinion but I’am not confident , many consecutive wrong Direction , many consecutive loose , stop/reverse effected too late…
