Pathfinder Trading System

Reiner · Thu, 22 Sep 2016 19:00:38 +0000

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.

Right now we have DOW 4h v6 running since Feb 06 13.00. In backtest there is no order…

Why?

Hi Gordon Gekko and welcome,

Simply replace the two SELLSHORT instructions with SELL AT MARKET and remove all EXITSHORT instructions – that’s it.

// short entry without order cumulation
IF NOT SHORTONMARKET AND ( (s1 AND f3) OR  (s2 AND f1) ) AND NOT alreadyReducedShortPosition THEN

// check saisonal booster setup and max position size
IF saisonalPatternMultiplier < 0 THEN
IF (COUNTOFPOSITION + (positionSize * ABS(saisonalPatternMultiplier))) <= maxPositionSizeShort THEN
//SELLSHORT positionSize * ABS(saisonalPatternMultiplier) CONTRACT AT MARKET
SELL AT MARKET
ENDIF
ELSIF saisonalPatternMultiplier <> 0 THEN
IF (COUNTOFPOSITION + positionSize) <= maxPositionSizeLong THEN
//SELLSHORT positionSize CONTRACT AT MARKET
SELL AT MARKET
ENDIF
ENDIF

// short entry without order cumulation

IF NOT SHORTONMARKET AND ( (s1 AND f3) OR (s2 AND f1) ) AND NOT alreadyReducedShortPosition THEN

// check saisonal booster setup and max position size

IF saisonalPatternMultiplier < 0 THEN

IF (COUNTOFPOSITION + (positionSize * ABS(saisonalPatternMultiplier))) <= maxPositionSizeShort THEN

//SELLSHORT positionSize * ABS(saisonalPatternMultiplier) CONTRACT AT MARKET

SELL AT MARKET

ENDIF

ELSIF saisonalPatternMultiplier <> 0 THEN

IF (COUNTOFPOSITION + positionSize) <= maxPositionSizeLong THEN

//SELLSHORT positionSize CONTRACT AT MARKET

SELL AT MARKET

ENDIF

IF SHORTONMARKET AND (m2 OR m4) THEN
//EXITSHORT AT MARKET
ENDIF

IF SHORTONMARKET AND (m2 OR m4) THEN

//EXITSHORT AT MARKET

ENDIF

Best, Reiner

Hi, I am testing NIKKEI, DOW and DAX on PRT. I noticed that the code runs only for specific hours of the day. My PRT is running in GMT +8 (Singapore), do I have to change to the GMT +8 time settings?

@Wee Siew Yen

I live in Shanghai but run PRT with GMT+1, it is just easier that way.

Thanks David. So I assume all the codes (even for Hang seng, NIKKEI, DOW) posted are coded based on GMT +1 ?

Btw I’m based in Shanghai too. 🙂
