Key Questions Every Trader Should Ask

  1. What is your capital size? Your starting capital plays a crucial role in determining position sizing, risk management, and overall strategy feasibility.
  2. What is your risk percentage? Define a clear risk percentage per trade or portfolio, e.g., 1-2%. This ensures you survive losing streaks and avoid catastrophic drawdowns.
  3. What system and rules are you using?
    • Trade Frequency: Are you taking 1-2 trades a week or several trades daily?
    • Win Rate: What percentage of your trades are winners?
    • Risk-Reward Ratio: How much are you risking for every unit of potential profit?
    • Risk of Ruin: Have you assessed the likelihood of blowing up your account?
    • Drawdown vs. Net Profit: Can you stomach the drawdowns required to achieve your profit goals?
  4. What are your commission fees? Costs, including commissions and slippage, significantly impact profitability, especially for high-frequency traders.
  5. Are you trading with prop firm capital or personal funds? Prop trading comes with constraints like daily loss limits and stricter risk rules. Real-money trading requires a cushion for slippage and psychological endurance.

Hybrid vs. Fully Automated Trading

Hybrid trading, a blend of automation and manual oversight, adapts to market conditions in ways machines cannot replicate. While fully automated systems can deliver results like 100% in 3 months or 250% annually, they come with high drawdowns and emotional detachment.

In contrast, hybrid trading offers:

  • Personalized decision-making.
  • Enhanced control over drawdowns.
  • A balance between consistency and adaptability.

Results from Our VIP Group

Real traders, real stats—our community showcases diverse outcomes:

  • $15,000 in a single day.
  • $1,000 consistently per week and more.
  • Mixed days/weeks/months of wins and losses.

The key takeaway? Focus on your journey rather than comparing yourself to others. The real question is: Can you master the method and technology to fit your trading style?

Winning Mindset: A Structured Path

  1. Commitment to Learning: Traders in our VIP group prioritize education over quick wins.
  2. Process Over Stats: Focusing on improving your execution and decision-making ultimately leads to consistent results.
  3. Quality Over Quantity: Only 20% of retail traders succeed, but our structured approach filters for the top winning mindset committed traders.
  4. High Trading IQ Community: Low attrition rates, no noise or nonsense, no one-eye kings in the valley of the blind, trader group success peaks over 66% per month.

Performance Expectations

  • Gold Standard: >25% monthly returns (akin to Goldman Sachs-level trading).
  • Great Returns: 5-10% per month for a retail trader.
  • Good Performance: Breaking even with <10% monthly drawdown.

Cutting-edge Technology and AI

Tech pivotal and elections pending industrial revolution no 3

Nasdaq Futures Monthly Fibonacci Grid Analysis

Nasdaq Futures monthly Fibonacci grid – pivotal technical point aligning with the upcoming elections

1. Technical Setup for NQ

  • Current Support Levels: The NQ is testing support near the 100-day and 200-day moving averages, a crucial point as it approaches November session lows. A breakdown here could indicate a broader bearish trend, while a bounce could trigger a retest of recent highs.
  • Potential Market Bounce: If support holds, a short-term bullish opportunity could arise as the NQ re-approaches recent highs. Failure at this level may signal a cautious or bearish stance, particularly if it aligns with broader tech sentiment.
  • This chart was created using AFT8 for NinjaTrader Desktop. The daily chart template includes MSFG, Swing Pivots, and daily benchmarks, available here for free for sim and NT demo trading.

2. Sector Dependencies and Earnings

  • Tech Dominance and Innovation: Key growth drivers like AI, nuclear tech, and biotech continue to dominate. Earnings in these areas, particularly AI and automation, may boost revenue and efficiencies while potentially reducing workforce overheads.
  • Biotech’s Role: Biotech is expected to drive future gains alongside tech and AI, especially with innovations in healthcare automation and pharmaceuticals.
  • Earnings Quality: A reliance on fiscal strategies and speculative returns could introduce volatility, particularly affecting growth-focused sectors like small caps.

3. Macro-Economic Indicators

  • Non-Farm Payrolls & Purchasing Power: Recent NFP data suggests a decline in real purchasing power for both supervisory and non-supervisory workers, potentially impacting consumer-driven tech and retail sectors.
  • Federal Reserve Decisions: With the 13-week Treasury Bill yield at 4.43%, slightly below the 4.5% threshold, a 25 bps rate cut is expected in the November 7 Fed meeting, possibly boosting sentiment in tech and growth assets.
  • Future of Tech Growth: The world stands on the edge of a tech-driven frontier, with sectors like AI, Automation, and Biotech poised to lead. The U.S. must decide whether to spearhead these advancements or risk losing ground to global competitors.

4. Political Climate and Implications for Corporates

  • Election Scenarios: Analyzing potential impacts without political bias:
    • Democratic Policies: Increased spending on non-revenue-generating projects could raise corporate taxes, potentially affecting GDP if growth investments are not prioritized domestically.
    • Pro-Business Stance of Trump: Lower taxes and incentives may retain more businesses within the U.S., fostering conditions favorable for large-cap and tech stocks.
    • Expected volatility may lead to a market pattern similar to 2016’s seasonal movements.

5. Banking Lobbies & the Industrial Revolution

  • With the banking lobby capitalizing on elevated mortgage rates, a reduction in rates could spur a shift of funds from bonds and money markets to equities, especially ETFs.
  • Reduced mortgage and bank lending rates could stimulate growth, supporting GDP and reducing failures tied to high rates.

6. Market Strategy and Trade Opportunities

  • Market Characteristics: High price levels suggest favorable trading ranges even in corrections. Institutional buying on retracements supports medium-term opportunities, particularly within the tech sector.
  • ETFs & Shorting Mechanisms: Long-only ETFs dominate volume, signaling buying opportunities during dips. Inverse ETFs may serve as short-hedging tools, though the market remains inclined towards “buying the dip.”

Potential Strategies

  • Short to Medium-Term Plays: Monthly session opens and weekly levels serve as key indicators for high-probability trades within day-trading alignments.
  • Market Bias: A medium- to long-term bullish bias with periods of volatility, creating opportunities in buying dips or selling failed highs.

AFT8: Upcoming Changes and Updates

We’re rolling out some important changes to AFT8 to ensure a win-win situation for all traders who operate with integrity. The AFT8 Update is still pending, so keep a lookout for notices!

Unfortunately, these changes come in response to widespread end-user abuse of the EULA and subscription requirements—three times as many users are exploiting the system compared to those using it legitimately. It’s disheartening to see how prevalent cheating and piracy have become, not only within the vendor ecosystem but also among the traders who choose dishonesty over fairness, the majority without even leaving credit or referrals. This behavior negatively impacts everyone, especially honest traders like you.

Let’s make it a win-win!

  • We understand that some EULA infringements, particularly those involving the use of AFT for evaluation, prop trading, or live accounts without a valid subscription, may stem from confusion or a lack of communication or loopholes a trader was not aware they had breached.
  • Our goal is to create a compliant, ethical environment that benefits everyone—a true win-win. So we are providing notice to those who are not yet compliant to get a suitable subscription from today onwards with no back charges—no fuss, clean slate starting now.
  • Now that AFT has matured with comprehensive features and support, we’re taking action to ensure fairness. We are committed to building a platform for serious, legitimate traders with a winning mindset.
  • While EULA infringements will not be tolerated—and we need to cover our R&D costs and aim to break even one day, ROI which may take years—there’s no need for drama.
  • We’re offering an opportunity to wipe the slate clean. Any users currently utilizing AFT8 for evaluation, prop, or live trading through outdated versions or loopholes can easily upgrade to become compliant with the EULA and pricing rules.
  • We encourage traders who use AFT for evaluation, prop, or live trading to take this step to ensure a fair and ethical trading environment for all.
  • Please see here for details on Pricing

What’s Changing:

Pending release will implement the following AFT modes of operation and licensing for connection/account modes:

  • Backtest/historical/replay – free all modes to allow assessment/testing
  • NT sim mode/NT demo – indicators free, license required for algo/trade management – GFA/Full
  • Prop eval – license required for indicators/algo/trade management – GFA
  • Prop Perf – license required for indicators/algo/trade management – Full License
  • Unknown live/demo – license required for indicators/algo/trade management – Full License
  • Live trading – license required for indicators/algo/trade management – Full License
  1. Limited Access with Freemium
    To prevent misuse of trade copiers and demo accounts to avoid licensing fees or violate the EULA, we will no longer offer unlimited access to automated features on the freemium plan. Freemium users will have access to free indicators, manual trade entries, and NinjaTrader ATM for trade management.
  2. Old Versions & License Evasion
    Traders using outdated versions of AFT to bypass subscription fees for evaluation or live prop trading will face restrictions. AFT8 will automatically uninstall itself, remove all files, and reclaim ATS property from the system. This will be enforced after a two-week grace period.
  3. Going Forwards
    1. Trade Copiers
      Detection and restrictions may be enforced to prevent users from evading subscriptions, particularly those who lead and send signals to other traders who don’t pay. We might instead write an AFT trade copier and allow that—to get around it and to be honest, our trade copier would be far better (for AFT trading)! Can’t wait to do that; I have envisaged how I would use it and need it myself 😉
    2. Identity Proof to Stop Free Trial Abuse
      User account identity proof to stop free trial abuse may be enforced by Twilio or Stripe—this shows how bad it has got. We are investigating how to do this without becoming like a big brother regime, but again, there are some users with 10 email accounts who consistently abuse and use the system for free and don’t even give a review!

Price Comparison

We have introduced and polished the pricing model to make this accessible to all and competitive for all. For details, visit here: Pricing

The Future’s Bright!

Sorry about the pun, but we need to end this on a high note!

These measures are necessary to maintain a fair environment for all legitimate users, and we believe this is the right step forward. We look forward to working with sincere traders and improving the ecosystem for everyone by removing those who don’t respect it.

Sorry to the good traders and people who are affected by the bad players!

Best regards and happy trading!

Tom
