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.

Hello Reiner,

I’m running your PF v6 on HangSeng and I’m a bit puzzle on the period you have defined (5am to 5pm). HangSeng opens from 1.15am to 12h30 GMT+1 to my best knowledge. Backtest is also much better with a 12h period starting at the opening.

ONCE startTime = 050000//011500
ONCE endTime = 170000//131500

Ale, did you also abserve that Pathfinder changed the DOW stop limit at 1am CET. This must be an error in the trailing mechanism because the stop limit is lower then yesterday. Initial trailing move seems to work second move is wrong.

@Guys with Dow positions: take care because Pathfinder set the wrong stop limit, correct stop is 20557! for both positions

Cheers,

Reiner,

Do you also have a template for the Pathfinder 4H available? Just as for the daily Pathfinders? Or do you just make a copy from one and start adjusting?

I’ve tried several ones on the IBEX with the same approach as you described for the daily, but can not figure out what to do with shorts and the percentages.

@stefou102

Candles in 4H timeframe will be triggered at 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21 CET. Results are much worse when the Hang Seng algo starts at 1am CET.

Patrick, I haven’t a 4H template. I make a copy from the DAX and adjusting all parameters.
