Recommended Path for Getting Started with AFT7
To get started trading with AFT after installation, focus only on the session breakout workspace. Using one workspace at a time is the best practice. Follow the live market and trade from 9:30 AM NYSE EST for about three hours. Less is more; only trade one to three signals per instrument per session.
Starting out with MES is likely easier than MNQ. Save your own workspace and edit your preferred stops, targets, settings, etc. Start small, understand the controls, and system features.
Trading Tips:
Note the look and feel of successful and losing days. Avoid fear, 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 that market price cycles are not your fault or the system’s—trending days and choppy range-bound consolidation slow days.
- There might only be 12 to 15 good market days per month and five horrendous ones—so why trade them if you can learn to see them prior or as they trade?
- Better to learn to sit out, watch, and understand the cycles instead of trying to overtrade. 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, directionless market.
