AFT8 version 20221.3.12.4 is now available for all traders for all futures for free!
As promised, this week we have released AFT8 for beta. Only some of the core indicators are available, and there is much work to do. Over time, we will fix any issues from your feedback regarding bugs and glitches and add any features that make sense for all traders to have.
Going forward, we will have weekly releases, if not daily, and add features. Typically, if all goes well, updates will occur after you close down NinjaTrader 8. AFT8 will update itself and add any factory default workspaces and template modifications.
AFT8 is available in the shop as a free product AFT8 Free Trading System or available from the AFT download page. Articles and videos will follow on installation, but it should be very simple if you can use a mouse and PC and get around any AV warnings, etc. Please visit the support and help desk.
The installer is so new that all antivirus software will be moaning and asking to check and quarantine it. This is something we cannot avoid. All the code installers are code signed with MicroTrends Digicert Code signing. When the installer has earned a reputation by enough downloads, AV will become less bothersome.
AFT8 is a beta, so it might have some issues we can’t test internally, but we have tested it on a small selection of users already prior to this release.
The AFT8 installer will download the latest code and templates/workspaces and install them into your documents NinjaTrader location. It will expect a default NinjaTrader installation.
Please note the AFT8 version 20221.3.12.4 only provides, at this time, trade charting indicators, systematic trading signals, alerts, and speech. No automated trading features are available yet. We will update and release these features in the coming weeks.
