  Pathfinder 4H for Hangseng works very well and delivers >60k HKD profit in 2017. The algo is well balanced and fit perfectly the current market heartbeat. Enclosed is the new V7 of this little beauty.

  Hi Rainer,

  first of all thank you very much for your modified algos, they seems to be always better.

  About HS algo, I use V6 in real in my 9K euros account; do you think V7 is too risky with its higer DD?

  Thanks again!

  Marco.

  Hi Potto,

  Pathfinder HS 4H V6 is a perfect robot this year. Especially the combination of profit and drawdown is remarkable. You are absolutely right V7 delivers even more profit but the drawdown is higher. If you reduce the position sizes in V7 this would also reduce your risk (from max 6 contracts to 4 contracts) and the profit in 2017 is 50% (90k HKD) higher as in V6 (60k HKD).

  ONCE positionSize = 1 // default start size ONCE trendMultiplier = 2 // >1 with dynamic position sizing; 1 without ONCE maxPositionSizePerTrade = 2 // maximum size per trade ONCE maxPositionSizeLong = 4 // maximu size for a long position ONCE maxPositionSizeShort = 4 // maximum size for a short position

  1 2 3 4 5

  ONCE positionSize = 1            // default start size ONCE trendMultiplier = 2         // >1 with dynamic position sizing; 1 without ONCE maxPositionSizePerTrade = 2 // maximum size per trade ONCE maxPositionSizeLong = 4     // maximu size for a long position ONCE maxPositionSizeShort = 4    // maximum size for a short position

  Attached is a comparison of original V6 with max 6 contracts and V7 with max 4 contracts.

  You can stay with V6 or try V7 with reduced position sizes. It’s your decision because it’s your money and you have to feel good with the setup.

  Best, Reiner

  Yesterday 5 o’clock the Pathfinder HS V7 just stopped in the live account instead of switching from short to long (like in demo). The error report says “opposite risk positions not allowed” like the last time. Maybe Pathfinder do have a problem with the “limited risk” account.

  V6 in live switched from short to long position in my small size account.

  Are there any restriction in german account?

  Hi Wisko,

  It seems that turning an existing position doesn’t work with limited risk accounts. I have adopted the trading commands accordingly:

  // long // close short position first IF SHORTONMARKET THEN EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF BUY positionSize CONTRACT AT MARKET // short // close long position first IF LONGONMARKET THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF SELLSHORT positionSize CONTRACT AT MARKET

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

  // long // close short position first IF SHORTONMARKET THEN EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF BUY positionSize CONTRACT AT MARKET   // short // close long position first IF LONGONMARKET THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF SELLSHORT positionSize CONTRACT AT MARKET

  Hope that solve the problem. Please find attached the changed Pathfinder algos for HangSeng.

  Best, Reiner

  I experienced the same as Eric for the Dax version (preloadedbars issue). The dow version did not stop for me. HS switched from short to long yesterday.

  Hi guys,

  preloadedbars issue is nightmare! I never had this problem with my versions and all my V7 are still running in demo without a problem.

  
  @pfeiler: do you have any problems in life with the V7?

  Thank You very much for the quick help. I assume changes will be the same in DAX and DOW version.
