Pathfinder swing TS

Reiner · Sun, 01 Jan 2017 12:18:50 +0000

In this topic I’d like to publish all Pathfinder swing trading algorithms. The swing trading robots based on the Pathfinder daily code and are adapted to the monthly saisonality introduced with the original Pathfinder Trading System. Each month was separated in two parts (day 1 – 15 and 16 – 31) and the saisonal behavior was determined. The idea is to check twice a month for which instruments Pathfinder swing TS find a promising setup based on historical tests. Pathfinder swing robots running in demo account will deliver the trade signal or can trade automaticly in life account as well. Please find attached the Pathfinder swing roadmap for almost 30 instruments. I will attach the robots for the most promising setups on this post for the current/next period. 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 garantee 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 swing is my privat and fully transparent algorithmic trading project exclusively implemented for ProRealTime 10.2. 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.

Hi Guys,

Are you using pathfinder daily to generate which instrument is currently trending? Then manually trading that specific instrument? If so, what are your criteria once entered, e.g.. stop loss? risk? entry/exit?

I wonder if you could take a moment to explain your process of this trading strategy?

Yes, that is Reiners idea. He checks about 25 instruments, which fit best for the Daily Pathfinder (see https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/pathfinder-trading-system/page/33/#post-19067).
If he knows which instruments work best in which season, he optimises these instrument-strategies (again!) for their timeframe and runs em as swing strategies (on a demo account, because he wants the strategies only for the trading signals).

So in January you can run so far:

Pathfinder-AG-Jan-swing-V1.itf
Pathfinder-Gold-Jan-swing-V1.itf
Pathfinder-KC-Jan1-swing-V1.itf
Pathfinder-PA-Jan1-swing-V1.itf
Pathfinder-HS-Jan2-swing-V1.itf

I understand the demo part to generate signals, the bit im confused with is when to get in and out once these signals are generated, is it manual or automated?

You can do it both ways. the system is automated and you can just trade it via cfds. but you are also able to take the signals and trade them manual. there is no “correct”. whatever feels best for you is the way you should do it. I think everybody hast to make his own decision here

Hi Guys,

please find attached the Pathfinder swing roadmap for the whole year. I have tested 30 instruments with Pathfinder daily V2 to find the best possible setups for this idea. I found some additional instruments such as Cotton, Wheat, ASX, SMI and SFA. What you see here is the best seasonal adjustments for the maximum available data history tested with PRT premium 10.2 for IG. All tests focused on the two well known Pathfinder TS quality criteria 70% profitable trades and 25% maximum drawdown.

I have connected the instrument with the equity clock statistic if available (click on instrument name). The instrument rating (A-C) determine the list order e.g. Palladium, Natural Gas etc. are the best suitable commodities and AEX, DOW, DAX etc are the best indexes. The value 0 (red) means no trade in that period because backtest has shown no profitable setup. The values 1-3 (light green or dark green) show profitable historical setups (the highest value is always dark

@Reiner

I’m interested in helping you, but have no idea where to start.

I looked into your message earlier where you explained the steps, but was a step too far to be honest.

If you can show me with one or two via Teamviewer, maybe i have enough info to get me started.

regards,

Patrick

If I understand correctly you want to set the seasonal condition (e.g. feb2) to 3 for palladium and then optimize the other variables? and then continue with march1, march2… etc?

@Reiner.

Attached i tried the AEX according to your Excel sheet.

The results are the same as your sheet shows.

Is this what needs to be done?
