Why Algo Futures Trader?

Why AFT?
Our goal is very simple: buck the trend and disrupt the trading retail ecosystem with disruptive pricing, ethics, real deal tools, and create as many winners as possible. We do it for free until they are live trading, and that is our mission!

AFT allows you to day trade futures and learn risk-free on the simulator, demo, replay trading, and evaluation trading for trade capital, all 100% free forever. With ready-to-trade turnkey settings and workspaces, we provide traders the best chance of success with no risk or outlay. The only time you would pay for a license is for premium features or a live trading license when real money trading.

Why buy trading software before you know it works for you?
Why buy software or pay for a trial when you can use AFT free for Sim Forever! Trading is hard enough; no need to spend your trading capital or break the bank learning to trade or buying expensive trading software that probably won’t work. Try trading at your own pace and then decide if it works for you – no pressure, no BS!

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.
