US Equities Session Open Micro Futures Day Trading System Basics
System Premise
The Trend is your friend until the end, let winners run and cut your losers.
Note: You trade out from the session open – and do not take reversal trades back to the open from the high or low etc. – you let it run and trail.
Get in a trade as early as possible and avoid chop and false signals, but get an entry price near the session open price, so that there is a high probability of a run leading to a profit. As opposed to getting in later at the high and trend exhaustion or requiring a larger stop loss to weather pullback continuations or chop and noise.
To get started with this system please use the workspace “AFT SFG Breakout Trader-0000A-Generic-Micros” view the following guidance for AFT Day Trading Micros Session Open Breakout
With this system you enter with the trend momentum and direction of the market from the session open when there is statistically momentum and direction caused by the NYSE open. So you would be looking to get in a trade from 9.30EST to 11AM as a guide.
AFT System Details
Using the Daily Session Fib Grid signals indicator as the system base, signals are taken above or below the Daily Session Fib Grid – “No Trade Zone” NTZ within a % above and below that area – called the trading zone, the area is set by the “SFG Proximity Filter % ”
The SFG Fib Grid provides a map of price as a grid of %. The open is F0%. +f100% is the daily expected high and -f100% is the daily expected low.
So we can use the grid for entry’s, targets, stops and as a filter. So the trading zone where we take signals as trades as a region could be +F31% of the Daily SFG Grid above and -f31% below -this region can be increased or decreased to suit trading style.

NinjaTrader Performance Tips
1. Manually install AFT7 and make sure you got the latest.
2. Close down all other workspaces – only open 1 workspace
3. Close down the market analyzer – if not using it to see the difference
4. Only trade on a few charts – for example just 1 or 2 in trading mode etc
5. Save the workspace as your own copy
6. Reset the NT7 sim accounts – to free up data overhead
7. Data make sure you are not saving data to disk
Servers
These work fantastic based in St Louis USA:
https://contabo.com/?show=configurator&vds_id=301
windows 2016/2019
Workstation/Laptop
NinjaTrader 7 and AFT7 can be quite data/CPU hungry
1. PC Spec:
You will need a modern Spec PC –
Intel Core i7 or better, AMD Ryzen 7 or 9
16GB or better RAM
SSD Hard drive – Samsung NVME EVO recommended
Dual or triple Monitor Video Card
ASUS motherboard preferred
SSD Drive D for Data
Add a drive d NVME SSD and move my documents to that drive
e.g. D:\Users\Trader\Documents
then install NinjaTrader into the usual place
D:\Users\Trader\Documents\NinjaTrader 7
NT8 Versions
The NT8 version promises to be more performance oriented with orders internally but NT8 is very resource greedy and requires a very good pc or it will bog down and serve/ lagged old tick data in realtime.
