Tip: Slow Down to Go Quicker

Traders can progress at their own pace, spending one day or more on each stage. Stage 1 introduces core signal concepts and trade-management controllers that provide a major edge—helping traders learn when to trade, when not to trade, how to use partial exits, and more. Winning traders build skill over time and choose the level of automation that best fits their trade plan. VIP traders often average 66%–80% automation for prop-firm trading.

AFT8 Version 2023.9.18.1 service release

by

AFT8 Version 2023.9.12.3 Released
Added fixes to assist with NT8 behavior where orders freeze, usually with a Tradovate connection or the new NinjaTrader connections when using a trade copier. AFT8 has solved this, so you do not need to reset your account and lose your stats or reinstall NinjaTrader 8. Yet another reason why AFT8 is the best trading system for NinjaTrader.

NinjaTrader Frozen Orders or Locked Up Prop Firm Trading
Very rare, but since the launch of the new NinjaTrader and connection options, we have seen some issues reported that required a restart or reset of NinjaTrader. In all cases, the use of trade copiers and evaluation trading, especially with the new NT8 and Tradovate/NT new style connections, were involved. AFT trade safety system now monitors all accounts and orders for stuck orders and will cancel and remove them. Also, on start, it will remove and fix all stuck orders. Usually, NT Support will say reset the database, and that works until you get more stuck orders. No need, AFT8 will untangle it.

Best of Both Worlds: Web and Desktop
It is recommended to always use Tradovate web, Rithmic web, CQG web, or NinjaTrader web alongside NT8. Hence, you get the best of both worlds and can liquidate positions utilizing the web or even enter. AFT8 can then add in the exits on the desktop via the trade manager. AFT8 allows you to stop and restart NinjaTrader 8 and carry on from where it left off, which is not possible on other systems.

Trades Per Session
The automated trading entry system module to limit the number of signals taken in semi or fully-automated mode has been polished for signal executions for a daily/weekly session as a precursor to trading session $ and % goals for win/loss limits.

Trade Signal Time to Live

Trade Signal Time to Live

NinjaTrader 8 is a beast and genius, but the caveat is it requires high spec, low latency, and usage of asynchronous methods to avoid foul-ups and missed or delayed trades. AFT8 has taken this to a new level with concurrency of signal queues and signal time to live, so the signal will be stored and processed using AFT8’s parallel asynchronous trading engine. This ensures the ticks and charts are not slowed down pending signal execution and order processing.

NinjaTrader 8 Playback Mode
AFT8 has been tweaked to allow better replay speed, but overall it is not designed for backtest and replay, so speeds will result in slippage due to asynchronous parallel task signal processing. This means several bars could print while the signal queue is being processed. Going forward, a dedicated strategy will be provided for backtest/optimization and replay, which will provide synchronous on-bar processing, fantastic for low loads and testing modes.

AFT Workspaces
Split out into basic 001, 002, 003, and 004 VIP charts have advanced views to allow more accessible learning. The caveat is this update will remove 004 from your system and will need explicit installation. There will be some traders with reports of missing templates and workspaces. These are found in your downloads.

Algo Entry/Workspace Breaking Changes for Trend Trader
Please note the Trade Signal Modes have been reorganized to match a uniform order in AFT. Mode4 is now Mode8 for USATTrend Algo Entry.
