AFT8 Trading Systems Stats

AFT8 Roadmap

1) AFT8 is a beta available to traders who can self-support – so we focus on delivery.
2) AFT8 will be released as a series of ongoing updates over 2022 – notifications will be made.
3) Turnkey workspaces and examples will be provided.
4) System optimization from the baseline will take place and more stats/systems provided.
5) Guidance and articles will be provided after AFT8 is ready for public release.

What About AFT7?

  • Existing lifetime members will be able to use it for as long as the NinjaTrader 7 platform is supported and available by NinjaTrader LLC.
  • AFT7 will be maintained for lifetime purchasers and in 2023 will be taken down as purchasable on lease and no longer supported or maintained.

AFT8: Our Best Automated Trading System for NinjaTrader

Why exactly is AFT8 the best algorithmic trading system for NinjaTrader, developed by MicroTrends Ltd?

AFT8 is a constantly evolving product that will become AFT9, growing with the times to stay ahead of the curve.

AFT8 server edition, first created in 2017 to power a hedge fund system by MicroTrends Ltd, evolved to 2021.

Battle-tested live on mini futures on commercial-sized accounts, it is now available for retail trading with accounts from 20K up for auto and less for hybrid pilot and machine.

AFT8 provides the best automated trading systems for retail day trading and swing trading Emini Micro and popular Futures, developed by MicroTrends as of 2022.

Disclaimer: Trading & investment carry a high level of risk. AlgoFuturesTrader does not make recommendations for buying or selling any financial instruments, nor do we offer trading or investment advice. We are a software company, and we only provide educational information on ways to use our sophisticated Algo Futures trading tools. It is up to our customers & readers to make their own trading & investment decisions, or consult with a registered investment advisor.

Risk Disclosure: Futures, CFDs, & forex trading carry substantial risk and are not suitable for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading, and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Please read the full risk disclosure here.

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or adhere to a particular trading program despite trading losses are material points that can adversely affect actual trading results. Numerous other factors related to the markets or the implementation of any specific trading program cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and can adversely affect trading results.
