AFT8 pending update news for 2024

February 5, 2024 by AFT

AFT8 v2024 update release is planned imminently, fingers crossed, in the next 1 to 2 weeks! As soon as it passes a long test of quality assurance, unit and system soak testing, and regression testing. This will include premium features such as trade plan goals and much more polished, slicker performance and usability features, with more to come in the following releases as outlined in the Discord trading groups.

Notice of Pending Changes and EULA

As preparation for the final cut of AFT8 for the public release core features, there is some foundational work and changes taking place, and some of the satellite apps as below:

Some traders are using AFT8 in full premium feature modes on different brokerages or mirroring to different platforms, taking advantage of all the features for personal financial gain, which is fantastic. However, for whatever reason, due to lack of clarity or system prompts, they have not purchased a license yet. So, AFT8’s next release will start enforcing fair usage and enforcing features to make it a win-win for all. Traders outside of the trial period will notice some changes, and traders who do not purchase the annual renewal will also notice changes and feature access:

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.
