algo futures trader update released version 2024 march 17 – now supports your own algos or the built in algo

Introducing Custom Trading Signals

The best algo trading system framework for NinjaTrader 8 just got even better with successful tests allowing third-party code/traders to create scripts in NinjaTrader as indicators, DOM columns, strategies, market analyzer columns, or even bar types. Any script can inject signals based on real-time market-generated information and submit the signal into the AFT8 Algo Trading Signal Execution engine. This can be used for:

  1. Developers who wrote a script in an indicator or strategy and want the off-the-shelf power of AFT and NinjaTrader.
  2. Professional standard symmetric and asymmetric trade copying from one account system to another.
  3. Any requirement your imagination can conceive; the sky is the limit.

The advantages are that you can mix your signal with hybrid controllers and apply a bias long or short, or use off-the-shelf filters. Use professional hedge fund standard technology to power your trading, cope with disconnects and restarts, and enable you to trade like a pro swing trader overnight, over the weekend, and even intermediate over months without losing context and control. You can even use the NinjaTrader.com web system to monitor and view your positions and orders, close or alter them as you wish, and the NT mobile system will adapt and keep going, whereas a strategy will halt for safety reasons as it should by design.

This is the remarkable power of NinjaTrader, allowing institutional trading system patterns and methods at the underlying API level to produce the very best NinjaTrader system for futures. No other retail platform on the market can do this! If it could, we would use it. The AFT8 system uses low-level asynchronous NinjaTrader API layers, allowing us to bypass the retail trader convenience layers and provide a fault-tolerant, self-recovering system, provided there is a valid internet and data/order connection.

Note: Originally, this was all built for a hedge fund and then migrated to retail, hence why a $300K USD trade engine is made available for you for retail trading at less than $5K! Now you can harness all this power 100% free for sim trading, demo, and approved Prop firms with the built-in algo trading system rules and filters, or just use your own straight-through or algo blend, mix them in, and access all features!

Note: Interactive support is provided in the Discord groups:

create your own rules in your own NinjaTrader scripts and simply inject them into the algo trade entry module

March 17, 2024 by AFT

Custom user algos inject signals into aft trad entry module

AFT now supports custom Ninja scripts that you can create to inject signals into the AFT8 Algo Entry system. Code examples are available in the AFT Discord dev forum. Users need to sign up for an ATS universal account, log in, and link their Discord account to gain access. This allows the AFT Desktop to download the latest patch when NinjaTrader 8 is closed. It makes it very easy to code your own rules in your NT Scripts indicator, market column, or strategy, and then inject the signal into AFT8.

AFT8 will execute the signal if your filters and controller settings allow it. The AFT trade management module will then take over, providing the best trading system features, all off the shelf, 100% free for sim, demo, replay, and prop firm evaluation trading. Take it to the next level!


Custom user algos inject signals into AFT trade entry module

Custom user trading system rules allow you to inject signals into the AFT trade entry module from a simple indicator on a chart, and all the rest is taken care of.

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.
