I’ve also had the same problem and I have to manually run closing to follow faithfully pathfinder (lucky with best gain). however, the problem exists
right, but I tried the code does not work

@Reiner.
In the version V4 where Miguel suggested “avoid reopen of intraday positions in same direction” the position closed normal this morning at 09.00 O’clock.
Part of the changes made at that time:
IF NOT SHORTONMARKET AND ( (s1 AND f3) OR (s2 AND f1) ) AND not reduceShortInTradingWindow THEN // no cumulation for short trades #Miguel
IF ( l1 OR l4 OR l2 OR (l3 AND f2) )AND not reduceLongIntradingWindow THEN // cumulate orders for long trades #Miguel
// save position before trading window is open #Miguel
If Time < startTime then
startPositionLong = COUNTOFLONGSHARES
startPositionShort = COUNTOFSHORTSHARES
Could this be part of the reason why the position didn’t close in the latest version?

Patrick
as I said earlier in the real version I closed manually (and was good idea) while demo let it go and see what happens. Who has not closed today suffers loss. Immediately understand what is happening and ‘important.
good job
The same happened to me and I use a modified Version3 Programm.
Maybe it happend due to the “Zeitumstellung”, because on Saturday the time changed from Summertime to Wintertime. But in the Backtest everthing worked fine.
I wrote the technical support. You can reach it by “strg+M” or under “help” in the ProRealtime Program.

@Reiner,
for your information:
I also had live the OMX mini with the same issue. A stop on the bar yesterday at 09.00 but the position didn’t close yesterday. But the position did close today at 09.00 with a day delay.
Maybe it has indead something to do with what flowsen123 already said about the summer and wintertime.

Patrick
you probably is a problem with the LG server time Time London. I’m testing pathfindher with MT4 and these problems

On the other hand V4 did stop in time yesterday. Than the hour difference doesn’t make sense. It should either both continue or both stop.
in backtest works with time servers. only reason I see no alternative, and in fact ‘the problem I have on MT4

The same for me, but i’ve stopped It in profit
Hi guys,
the calculation of the maximum holding period for short trades in V5B2 is faulthy. Reason is the changed calculation of position profit. I thought that the following used code in V4 is wrong for short trades:
posProfit = (((close - positionprice) * pointvalue) * countofposition) / pipsize
but this assumption wasn’t correct because countofposition for short trades is of course negativ and therefore the V4 formular is right and the V5 formular is wrong. Here is correct code for the calculation of the maximum holding period:
// stop and profit management
posProfit = (((close - positionprice) * pointvalue) * countofposition) / pipsize
m1 = posProfit > 0 AND (BarIndex - TradeIndex) >= maxCandlesLongWithProfit
m2 = posProfit > 0 AND (BarIndex - TradeIndex) >= maxCandlesShortWithProfit
m3 = posProfit < 0 AND (BarIndex - TradeIndex) >= maxCandlesLongWithoutProfit
m4 = posProfit < 0 AND (BarIndex - TradeIndex) >= maxCandlesShortWithoutProfit
IF LONGONMARKET AND (m1 OR m3) THEN
SELL AT MARKET
ENDIF
IF SHORTONMARKET AND (m2 OR m4) THEN
EXITSHORT AT MARKET
ENDIF
Sorry, for the confusion, Reiner
Hallo Reiner,
als Fan deiner Pathfinder Reihe muss ich dir jetzt doch mal schreiben. Ich hoffe, dass ich den Link für das Verständnis anhängen kann.
Was ist passiert? (und nicht das erste Mal). Der Dax Pathfinder V4 ist gestern um 09:00 Uhr aus dem Short @ 10653 mit ca. 45.00€ Gewinn ausgestiegen. ABER im Live Trading ist das leider nicht passiert. Wie kann das sein ? Ist das ein Problem von PRT oder IG?? Hattest du das auch schon ein mal?

Ich glaube man kann die Screenshots im Internet anschauen.
Letzte Woche ist mir das gleiche beim FTSE passiert. Laut Backtest war der 4h FTSE nicht mehr short, aber in Wirklichkeit hat er mir 142 £ gebracht. Ein liebes Dankeschön an dieser Stelle. Die Frage ist nun, bin ich der Einzige der dieses Problem hat? Ist der Backtest in der der PRT Version 10.2 nur ein Fake?? Oder hat es damit zu tun, dass ich in der Schweiz mit IG verbunden bin?? Die Daten, sollten ja die gleichen sein.
Pathfinder in demo or real closed the position on November 1 at 13.00 while in backtest closed position 31 ottobre 17.00
Hey Reiner,
thank you for looking into it. Maybe the code you changed is part of the problem, but I am running a program based on the version 3 which still has the “old” code for the max. number of candles and I had the same problem. And I think it is odd, that the backtest is showing the right results, but the live mode acted differently. Maybe the program is too complex for prorealtime and it needs more time calculate the positions 😉
