Guide to get started with AFT7 day trading

November 25, 2020 by AFT

Recommended path for getting started with AFT7

To get started trading with AFT after installation. Focus only on the session breakout workspace, use 1 workspace at a time is the best practice.
Follow the live market and trade from 9.30 NYSE EST for 3 hours or so.
Less is more only trade 1 to 3 signals per instrument per session

Starting out with MES is likely easier than MNQ.
Save your own workspace and edit your preferred stops and targets, settings etc. Start small understand the controls and system features

Trading Tips:
Note the look and feel of days that are successful and losing days
Avoid fear and greed and impatience

When to trade and when to sit out?

Understand when to trade – market directional momentum, price analysis on higher time frames and schedule of market moving events
Accept market price cycles are not your fault or the systems -trending days and choppy range bound consolidation slow days
There might only be 12 to 15 good market days per month and 5 horrendous – so why trade them if you can learn to see them prior or as they trade.
Better to learn to sit out and watch and understand the cycles instead of try to over trade. Record keep a log and note the high probability days and the losing days what was the context and pretext.?
Note the calendar cycle of each new year, quarter, month, week and day – can you use that for higher accuracy.
Use the trendometer and market analyzer to assist and look to trade with correlation for indices of trending confluence rather than a messy market -directionless.
