how to place stop loss and targets for day trading futures with NinjaTrader 8 and AFT8

March 19, 2021 by AFT

AFT8 Day trading futures stops and targets with chart trader position and order visualization

There are 2 main methods for the placement of stop loss stop orders and profit limit orders:
“Static” using a fixed distance and “Adaptive” using a non fixed amount in this case at a Technical stop/target placement setting stop and target orders to various technical levels on the chart.

You can trade with a loose approach or a tighter approach when using exits to control risk/stop loss and profit points..  Trading with closer targets provides a higher win ratio  and a far target approach will result in a smaller win ratio  but a greater risk reward average.   By using multiple targets it is possible to scale out and implement sophisticated trade management techniques to take profit and trap in profit with stop loss trails as well as run for trend breakout days.
A tighter stop loss will cause a lower win ratio but a larger risk reward however if its too tight you system expectancy will be negative. What we aim to do is keep trading frequency lower – 1 to 3 trades per session is a good amount if required – the first might be the only one you need. So we have a wide stop loss and let the system breathe and run -this actually increases the risk but also increases the win ratio and probability of the system.

Much of that choice is down to the preference of the trader however the usage of can be governed by inside and outside gap days and range/trend price cycles and market structure and order flow on the day, to decide to have a nearer tighter game or more loose game or use a hybrid combination good in all weather to take profit off the table as soon as possible and still allow a good run to capture as much as possible as 100% of the daily move.

For proven and advanced traders, a quick note about variable position sizing based on High probability conditional trade setup versus a more arbitrary entry etc. In addition to target and stop loss arrangement – You can also consider half clip and full clip trades for example you might want to trade with 8 lots on a micro futures but if you are not sure on a trade but you might miss a runner if you stay out ok then, you can go half clip 4 lots and when the market is clearer, less mixed, more directional across all indices and the conditional setup pattern and time you might go full clip 8 lots which would need to be within your max % per trade up to1% is way enough for a beginner – you could conceivably add to a half clip position also in a pullback for example but this is not recommended for beginners as it can lead to doubling down and a random off the hip trading style abandoning the systematic approach and ultimate failure.

Static ATM defined Stop Loss and Profit Target Orders

Pending the AFT8 Easy Trader/NinjaBuddy GUI you can use the NinjaTrader Chart Trader and ATM to automatically place exit stop loss and profit targets and interact with them on a chart in realtime.

The following can easily be created in the NinjaTrader ATM, additionally you can add break even stop loss strategies such as at T1 move to breakeven or move in by 50% of the risk for example.

  • Static Stop loss and Targets examples for educational use
    • ES/MES
      • Stop Loss: 28 tick
      • Target 1: 10 tick
      • Target 2: 16 tick,
      • Target 3: 100 tick
    • NQ/MNQ
      • Stop Loss: 35 tick
      • Target 1: 20 tick
      • Target 2: 30 tick,
      • Target 3: 100 tick

Technical Stop Loss and Targets using the Fib Grid levels

Stop loss and profit targets are placed at Fib Grid Levels – and are therefore adaptive advanced intelligent trade management which can be applied to any market/instrument.

I preferer this method always, imagine that I have to sometimes test and elect to trade on a universe of some 65 futures markets, trying to find out what static ticks would be best would taking up 1,000s of hours of ongoing testing to re-optimize and guide as the market phases and ranges change making life unbearably hard work. So in fact that’s not required at all or best, instead simply use my Fib gird levels adapt to the market and range as it changes and save all that brain ache. Ofcourse with the correct pending AFT8 technology you can couple that with a volatility adjusted stop loss fixed fractional position size and add in scaling out and now you are professional setup, meantime with manual adjustment as long as your stoploss risk is within acceptable parameters and a sensible price you are good to go.

Loose setup – low win ratio high risk reward

  • Stop Loss Technical position is behind the No Trade Zone (NTZ) yellow Rectangle
  • Target 1 – 2 lots at the 50% regions on the grid
  • Target 2 – 1 Lot  76% region
  • Target 3 is a runner or 100% grid line

Technical Stop Loss Trail

Example Stepping Fib Grid Trail, when price moves and closed above the 50% blue line move the stoploss to the  far side of  fib grid price grid line -25% grid trail   or alternatively follow the USAR…look for the trailing triangles.

So how did that trade pan out?
T1 and T2 acquired – 3rd bracket was trailed down and taken out at -f61%

Tighter setup high win ratio  &  medium risk reward

  • Stop Loss Technical position is behind the No Trade Zone (NTZ) yellow Rectangle
  • Target 1 – 2 lots at the 23% regions on the grid  (could also be 33%)
  • Target 2 – 1 Lot  50% region
  • Target 3 is a runner or 100% grid line
AFT8 Near Targets Semi trend scalping trading Approach to take profit early but still allow a runner and positive risk reward

ATM automatic stoploss and Target placement with manual adjustment
You can configure and use the ATM to place the stops and targets and then simply use the mouse on the chart to move the orders to the various fib grid positions. Please visit the AFT help guides also for articles on day trading futures stop loss and targets

COVID lockdown using trading to replace income

March 17, 2021 by AFT

I’m quite concerned by the current landscape due to COVID and for new traders who want this to work as they “need” income from it… So, I thought I would write this after my coffee which was maybe too strong and made me write way too much but here goes.  Managing expectations here is the key to what i’m writing to save people in a rush coming to harm financially.   It can be done and there are some safer more probable ways and some that will lead to failure.

Trading cannot be rushed for this reason AFT8 is 100% free for day trading futures for sim, demo, replay and evaluation trading so that there is no rush and no penalty for learning – no pressure…   

For traders with a small amount of risk capital there is an answer AFT  is the Free NinjaTrader futures day trading system for evaluation to get funded trading with Trade2Earn, OneUpTrader, Top Step trader and Lee Loo Trading.

Many new traders are taking trading more seriously as an alternative income as many small business owners are forced to look elsewhere due to the recession of foot traffic. On top of this in the USA stimulus checks and the success of many new retail traders who put that money to use in the market typically in stocks and options news have made it sound as if trading is the answer to lost revenues.

For people most this is not the case at all. If you are in the position where you lost your income and can’t survive from savings or alternative incomes to a main job income – putting the pressure on yourself to beat the market and use that as your main income is very likely for new traders, impossible or destined to fail in most cases, or perhaps destined to work for a while as it can be super easy and then as the market goes into a different phase, things go wrong and then the trader will get a terrible kicking from the market.  The psychological strain is the thing that will exasperate the losses and actions of the trader. Trading is the last thing to be considered as a revenue replacement, with the last of savings money, with no other revenues, risk capital is capital you can lose, savings when you are jobless are not risk capital unless you got a big stash of cash ok fair enough.. do it small.

But…. if you get funded by a 3rd party to trade then you can in fact be directed to have discipline and risk someone else’s money that’s a lot better. They wont let you hurt them badly and its a mutual benefit but one way risk, but no one gets hurt  – risk control is all in place.

It’s perfectly normal for all traders to lose, I had my terrible kicking from the market when I started and many, many, many more later all for a reason and noted so i could learn from it eventually and not repeat the past mistakes. I learned to respect the market and I’m not over confident, usually, – success is tied to price cycles and news cycles and so forth -Risk on, Risk Off recognizing when to sit out and when to get in and most of all a system to enter to exit, to control risk, all implemented within a routine and set of rules. A systematic approach helps chances of success. The market is like the sea one that can be fished and traversed or one that will kill or maroon you. With the right amount of time you can see this and the conditions of low probability and high probability to trade in – knowing when to trade is a key most traders over look and are too busy trading to learn how to trade.

So perhaps the way to treat day trading futures safely and realistically is to do it part time as a hobby that can lead to something more serious over time and not to rush it, expecting this to be our main revenue stream as soon as possible is a very hard thing to do and will put enormous psychological strain on your trading – and may lead to a loss of faith and then you might embark on hopping from system to another in desperate search of the holy grail. I have known people do this for 10 years and are still looking yet the answer was the same on day 1 yet they lack the insight to see it or are taken away by live money trading and led away by emotions and subconscious habits that sabotage them  – in fact its simple just by using the right approach to conquer themselves is to conquer the market  -but it takes a whole lot of dedicated focus and a routine.     

Trading can be super easy and super tricky and useless this does not mean the system is broken. Like a boat in a sea there are times when a system will excel and times when it won’t – learn to see conditional setups on higher time frame daily, weekly price analysis, structure, price cycles and time/news cycles and then trade with the commercial directional movement wave and use the trading system to enter at a pragmatic time and price and then surf it – simple to say and sometimes not so easy to pull off.

Why would launch a boat when there is no wind or when the waves will wreck you etc…? This is why we provide controls to interact and control the systems – look to when it’s a good enough place and time to let the system off and then be ready to stop it with rules or actions later.

The one solution for all US indices day traders of any experience is this:

  • Religiously be in attendance at 9am or 8.30am each morning
  • look at the prior sessions and look to daily/weekly charts to see what the market did across the majors.
  • Note structure and support levels and trend for later use as break points or bounce etc
  • You must watch the first 1 hour of the NYSE every day without exception as your routine
  • Overall you need 1000s of market hours to really get into the machine and understand its nuances and behaviors.

Trading is a game and surely it’s better than Xbox and Nintendo, adult space invaders I like to call it but it can hurt in reality. Trading is a business but get good at the game and monies follow, don’t trade focused for money or every loss and win will be an emotional attachment and lead to failure.   Trade to get good stats and be good at trading focus on the game.  Rules to control and limit your risk and exposure and stay alive are critical, trade less 1 to 3 signals per instrument per session for a maximum of 3 hours per day – don’t let the market control you. For a session breakout trading system you will be getting in as early as possible and looking to run the trade and then stop… 35% to 65% win ratio is typical with risk reward up  to 1:10 on a trade target and beyond.

If you are trend scalper or momentum trader you will likely need to maintain a 85% win ratio to 90% and even above and be prepared to take 10 to 25 or more trades per session -scalping 8 ticks and risking 28 ticks on the ES for example – so to be successful you need to wait for the market to show its moving in a cyclical trending fashion with momentum and follow through before entering the market with a system, so you might have to sit around all day or sit out for days on end sometimes – 1 loss will cost you 4 trades or more to get back to break even etc.

That scalping can be fun and I’ve known people average 95% and make it look easy but that’s not something that appeals to me, and we are not pushing that model but the technology will allow you work in that manner it’s a matter of configuration. Ultimately that scalping doesn’t fit me or my persona, I have a life somewhere I think and can’t afford to wait around, I can’t think of anything worse im an active person, i used to scalp badly and  I used just a Dom – every tick counted, that was plain crazy and overwhelming to all life, like an addiction -so for me the healthy option is do less and do it better and feel better all around. Stopping that style of trading and Inventing the Fib Grid system was the answer for me as it limited the amount of trading I need to do and limited the amount of entry signals – and let me run the trade. So Instead of being a trading addict and glued to the screen for each tick for 12 hours per day or more emotionally tied to each win or loss. Now I can do it in minutes or a few hours at most for the main part emotion free with no need to second guess change course or interfere.

So, what it boils down to then is I watch the key moments of interest – the NYSE session open and try to capitalize on the repetitive market behaviors with an edge provided by the system and other items such as trend correlation and structure on my side. Even better and easier for me I like to surf the Sunday open to the Friday close and get 100% of the move if I can and sometime, I do and that is the real score for me if it happens but it’s rare. Every day trading must be completed within a ruleset and all emotions and psychological life pressures must be removed and overall, the correct risk capital and position size must be implemented – I would recommend less than 1% even per trade. but ideally you need 2 to 3 lots on micro futures to really make life easier. So then look to funding providers to fill your account as a possibility to your savings – for me I don’t like their drawdown rules or the feeling of having a boss, so I prefer self-funding.

So in summary – trading is simple but not easy. if it’s too important your dream, your desperate need please don’t think trading is the answer a salary job or recurring income with no risk is the answer. The main times I have really screwed up and literally been on the floor in pain holding my guts screaming at myself due to over trading and losses was when it means too much, and I needed it too bad as I desperately want to change my life due to some horrific job or relationship – money is the cure for all right? The other time I have really given it back was when trading with the flu or being over tired hungover. so, avoid pressure and do it when you are on top form -relaxed… super trader mentality at all time or take the day off.

Get good at trading put the hours in and keep it as a part time hobby then over time make it more serious if chance reveals itself.. don’t rush in and see this as the solution to all your problems it can make them 1000 times worse. if you are not careful, ill-disciplined and emotionally charged… by money…

If you are dead set on making this work as soon as possible ok go for it, but use funded trading capital don’t blow up your savings folks…  check out these providers: Trade2Earn, OneUpTrader, Top Step trader and Lee Loo Trading.

Learning when to trade with the system is the focus not the money.  So we will try to make this as easy as possible for as many as possible to realize their trading goals and aspirations but folks nothing is a get rich quick scheme or guaranteed, now back to coding i hope some of that made sense and resonated.

AFT8 workspace update fibgrid trend % correlations

March 16, 2021 by AFT

AFT8 daily session fib grid day trading russell 2000 futures fully automated

The featured post image is a fully automated algo trading Russell 2000 with the Alpha bias intraday near and medium terms trend correlation module – this is only 1 part of the full gamut system of futures indices I use for my hedge fund trading, some features of which i am porting into the AT8 system to contain a subset of the hedge fund futures portfolio trading system. Traders, yes we really trade professionally with this tech and i don’t mean to entice by showing a real trade with real cash – i make no song or dance – big deal yet another picture of a trade, yawn… that’s a scalp in the grand scheme, but the point is, it shows a NYSE daily session breakout fib grid SFG daily short signal taken and traded and the use of the grid for targets and stops and the full version of Alpha Bias trendometer which AFT8 is spliced from…a matured trading technology only now being released after many years of usage and battle tested in live real money hedge fund trading with millions of USD for risk capital using advanced servers and technologies costing some $100KUSD per annum to run it. Now being brought to you in small form factor for desktop retail trading for you to get started day trading futures…with real deal trading tools for NinjaTrader 8 so you can trade like a pro with an edge from real deal trading systems and methodologies – AFT8 will lead the way as the best trading system for NinjaTrader from the MicroTrends hall of fame of trading systems.

AFT8 daily session fib grid day trading russell 2000 futures fully automated
AFT8 daily session fib grid day trading russell 2000 futures fully automated

So yes AFT8 will have a very similar shape, form and function, but more lightweight interactive features so it can be fully or semi automated whereas the hedge fund system is 100% algo… really not suitable for 99% of retail accounts sizes and tastes, so don’t worry AFT8 is a much smaller piece and more controllable, therefore a small price and is free unless you live trade with it.. and as the original architect and pioneer of hybrid algo trading systems we will provide features to allow easy trading and management of day trading size/small accounts – but we need time to code and release – step by step -so the next step is to add the trend correlations as below.

So the latest AFT8 Workspace update has the start of TrendOmeter Market Analyzer with Daily Fib Grid Values.
Net % is a meaningless value unless you know the typical market net % – that’s too much homework and not the now it’s yesterday. We want to see today and the current Realtime situation in the live market.
With AFT8 we make trading easy and normalize every market as a grid of % with fib grid
F0% is the open
-F100% is the bottom of the market
+F100% is the top of the market

So we can see where the price is as a % we don’t need the price – price is meaningless also without knowledge of price levels. The current Fib grid % is the key to understanding the market view from a particular session start at 0%.
We can then apply this to sessions and understand the market structure with out a chart and know the story of the market from the prior session to now or further back at a glance. Critically we can understand the trend correlation and market short term view -is is a mixed up jumbled up market or is it a moving trending flowing directional market with a decisive trend up or down -these conditions and identifying them and how to trade them if at all or to sit on the side and wait is the key to trading a trend from the beginning to the end -the trend is your friend until the end, let winners run… these clichés are timeless – and they really work.

NinjaTrader 8 AFT version status as of Feb 2021

February 2, 2021 by AFT

The long awaited NT8 version is still a work in progress.

There are many challenges and work around with migrating from NT7 to NT8 – the “WPF” technology is a very big hurdle and offers in some ways less capability but in most ways far better than its predecessor “Windows Forms” winforms was lightening quick to use and develop in but was discontinued, hence NinjaTrader had no alternative to switch to WPF, which is very slow ponderous and laborious to develop applications with in comparison.

The Good news is that NT8 is light years ahead of NT7 and allows us to create unimaginable features and methods compared to prior – the trading is faster and the data is faster – the presentation is even better and all in all the wait will be very worth it, so the only downside is really development time.

NT8 does allow the up to date .Net Microsoft framework 4.8 but – but the caveat is the WPF layer it uses are older versions, this means we are limited and restricted and not able to use the full gamut of tools and components from our development kits. It means there is a lot of re-work and dead ends and a lot of time consuming effort weeks and months spent, until we find a work around to resolve the hurdles. That is the norm in development – nothin worth doing is easy and then we have to do it all again for NinjaTrader 9 down the road but it will far easier -we expect 😉

Due to delays and developer obligations to hedge fund algo trading, the only way we are going to get a release out is to do it in stages.
So in February the indicators will be rolled out and released followed by the Trading System automated Easy Trader and NinjaTrader 8 strategy back-tester etc.

The Alpha Bias and Trendometer maybe also be complimented with or replaced with a remote API version due to the performance overhead this has on some machines, but time will tell.

There will be ongoing updates and releases over time. The project will easily continue over a 6months period as new features are released also.

Please help us to use our time wisely, and do not weigh down resources asking the help desk for support for when is the AFT8 going to arrive. Please keep a check out in the social media and newsletter. February we will see the first indicators as the plan goes.

when to consider buying a live license for AFT

December 24, 2020 by AFT

We care about all our traders and we care to make AFT viable and fulfill our goals to change the way trading is done in the NY Ecosystem:

Live License and when to buy
1)AFT is free forever for sim,demo,replay,backtest
2)AFT Trendometer 30day free trial
3)AFT Indicators used for live trading mode manually in NT
4)Buy if you want to live trading the algo are happy with the system and have spent a good month or so to learn it or are very experienced prior and it all resonates and you know why its a good system for you etc.

To keep the quality and pricing our conditions are these:
1)We do not want new traders gambling and rushing to trade spend money with no need or risk trading funds without it being statistically proven and tenable for them
2)We allow 100% free forever on sim/demo and want traders to really that their time to understand it all and get see a consistent way to use it for their trading
3)We do not want large support overheads either as we want to keep the pricing lean and mean.

So on that basis we want traders to take their time and not rush and then utilize the systems and only when they are 100% sure then consider a purchase and live trading etc. Therefore we only recommend purchasing and really accept an order once Traders are familiar and have a trade plan and are making a profit each month on Sim.

Self Assisted or Assisted Model
Self Assisted: The trader is to engage in self assisted learning with no penalty – that requires no funds or risk, just time.
Assisted: Training and mentoring with Carlos etc. That is not a cheap quick deal that is a quality training investment and might not be within budget,

Our rules we like to follow for granting and accepting an order for go live
A) Month plus – All traders need to spend at least 1 month to gauge the system properly 1 month minimum and are happy with the base trade Turnkey settings or have adapted their own from those provided.
B) Experience count – we can accept an early go live subscription or order etc.
if a trader is Experienced and is making progress enough to be viable for trading.
1) very experienced with NinjaTrader
2) very experienced Trader who understands the system premise and gels with it.
3) PLUS the AFT system all makes sense and is easy and working for them – is viable as a system/technology.

    Disclaimer Trading & investment carry a high level of risk & AlgoFuturesTrader does not make any recommendations for buying or selling any financial instruments. We do not offer trading or investment advice. We are a software company & we only offer educational information on ways to use our sophisticated Algo Futures trading tools. It is up to our customers & other readers to make their own trading & investment decisions or to consult with a registered investment advisor.

    Risk Disclosure Futures, CFDs & forex trading contains substantial risk & is not 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 ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading & 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 being 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 & 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, & no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results & all which can adversely affect trading results.
