AFT8 Version 2023.9.18.1 service release

by

AFT8 Version 2023.9.12.3 Released
Added fixes to assist with NT8 behavior where orders freeze, usually with a Tradovate connection or the new NinjaTrader connections when using a trade copier. AFT8 has solved this, so you do not need to reset your account and lose your stats or reinstall NinjaTrader 8. Yet another reason why AFT8 is the best trading system for NinjaTrader.

NinjaTrader Frozen Orders or Locked Up Prop Firm Trading
Very rare, but since the launch of the new NinjaTrader and connection options, we have seen some issues reported that required a restart or reset of NinjaTrader. In all cases, the use of trade copiers and evaluation trading, especially with the new NT8 and Tradovate/NT new style connections, were involved. AFT trade safety system now monitors all accounts and orders for stuck orders and will cancel and remove them. Also, on start, it will remove and fix all stuck orders. Usually, NT Support will say reset the database, and that works until you get more stuck orders. No need, AFT8 will untangle it.

Best of Both Worlds: Web and Desktop
It is recommended to always use Tradovate web, Rithmic web, CQG web, or NinjaTrader web alongside NT8. Hence, you get the best of both worlds and can liquidate positions utilizing the web or even enter. AFT8 can then add in the exits on the desktop via the trade manager. AFT8 allows you to stop and restart NinjaTrader 8 and carry on from where it left off, which is not possible on other systems.

Trades Per Session
The automated trading entry system module to limit the number of signals taken in semi or fully-automated mode has been polished for signal executions for a daily/weekly session as a precursor to trading session $ and % goals for win/loss limits.

Trade Signal Time to Live

Trade Signal Time to Live

NinjaTrader 8 is a beast and genius, but the caveat is it requires high spec, low latency, and usage of asynchronous methods to avoid foul-ups and missed or delayed trades. AFT8 has taken this to a new level with concurrency of signal queues and signal time to live, so the signal will be stored and processed using AFT8’s parallel asynchronous trading engine. This ensures the ticks and charts are not slowed down pending signal execution and order processing.

NinjaTrader 8 Playback Mode
AFT8 has been tweaked to allow better replay speed, but overall it is not designed for backtest and replay, so speeds will result in slippage due to asynchronous parallel task signal processing. This means several bars could print while the signal queue is being processed. Going forward, a dedicated strategy will be provided for backtest/optimization and replay, which will provide synchronous on-bar processing, fantastic for low loads and testing modes.

AFT Workspaces
Split out into basic 001, 002, 003, and 004 VIP charts have advanced views to allow more accessible learning. The caveat is this update will remove 004 from your system and will need explicit installation. There will be some traders with reports of missing templates and workspaces. These are found in your downloads.

Algo Entry/Workspace Breaking Changes for Trend Trader
Please note the Trade Signal Modes have been reorganized to match a uniform order in AFT. Mode4 is now Mode8 for USATTrend Algo Entry.

ATS Discord Trading Group ATSBot gatekeeper

by

ATSBot Discord Robot
ATS Trading Group Discord Robot ATSBot online 24/7 gatekeeper and guardian for quality of services

Meet ATSBot, the Gatekeeper of the Group.
ATSBot, the Discord robot, will assign the Discord group user role “ATS Group,” providing access to the Free Main Group Areas and VIP access for qualifying traders! To progress, we need to focus on the essentials, so we don’t waste time and resources on low-value tasks such as group admin. Therefore, ATSBot has a job to do this, and the caveat is that traders who don’t complete the entry process will be excluded.

Since going live, ATSBot has pruned hundreds of trader accounts who are scammers, spies, shills, plagiarists from other vendors, inactive accounts, time-wasters, and possibly a few bona fide members who have not been keeping up with the news and have been kicked out or downgraded as they have not linked their Discord accounts or gone through the onboarding process. Get Started Meeting. Bona fide members can rejoin and get linked up here from their account: https://algotradingsystems.net/TradingGroup

ATSBot Member Acceptance Criteria

2) Trader attended a Get Started Meeting or has a qualifying usage record.

KYT/KYS – Know Your Trader/Know Your Supplier – Get Started Meeting https://calendly.com/algotradingsystems/get-started
We want to know all our traders and meet you one-on-one to ensure it’s a win-win situation. If you do not want to do this, then this group and trading systems software are not for you. To maintain high standards, quality, and compliance, and to keep out time-wasters, reduce support overheads, scammers, and beginners “white belts” who slipped through the net.

Member Qualifying Usage Record:
ATSBot primarily checks for a “get-started meeting” or additionally checks for the following records:
1) Any license software purchase records
2) ATS Universal Account – 3 months+
3) ATS Group join date – 3 months+
4) Multiple login records first and last
5) Multiple user sessions first and last

No overrides, no exceptions
Note: There are no overrides in place, so the robot has ultimate control over entry. For example, if you were provided entry and did not book your get-started meeting or have a qualifying usage record, ATSBot will remove access. This means some members might have downgraded access or have been pruned/kicked but can rejoin.

Robot Error or User Credential Issues
If there is an error in the robot and it wrongly excluded a member, this will be fixed. Please report to support: https://algotradingsystems.net/Help

AFT8 version 2023.7.21 service release

by

AFT8 version 2023.7.21 is a service release for AFT8 version 2023.7.20.

Bug Fix for System.IO.FileNotFoundException

Error: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly ‘System.Text.Json’.

The technical reason is that some PCs were lacking resources required for .NET Standard, so parts of 2023.7.20 had to be rolled back to use backwards-compatible .NET 4.8 serialization legacy technology, Newtonsoft.

Therefore, a missing file error was logged and prevented licensing from being read and applied. Error trace: Error: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly ‘System.Text.Json, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Apologies to those affected. It was tested on various desktops and servers and only had issues on some, hence why it slipped through the net. Lesson learned and noted so we can avoid similar issues with modern and legacy technology.

Code and Workspaces Breaking Changes and Output Changes

AFT8 Update

We are forging ahead with our other technologies. We are at the cutting edge as it has proven reliable. .NET 7.0 and now .NET 8.0 are under scrutiny. We will be moving more modules to the cloud and modern desktop, mobile, and web technologies over the course of 2023 to 2024 to minimize the impact of technology and stay ahead of the curve of any changes.
