  • Enforce Intermediate to Advanced Traders only
  • Enforce licensing for evaluation and NT account trading
  • Easy Sign-Up: Access at your pace and learn the basics
  • Zero to Hero Self-Assisted Course with a 7-day free trial
    • Within the ATS Free Discord group with interactive education
    • Support directly with the system inventor and developer

Tip: Slow Down to Go Quicker

Traders can progress at their own pace, spending one day or more on each stage. Stage 1 introduces core signal concepts and trade-management controllers that provide a major edge—helping traders learn when to trade, when not to trade, how to use partial exits, and more. Winning traders build skill over time and choose the level of automation that best fits their trade plan. VIP traders often average 66%–80% automation for prop-firm trading.

AFT8 Version 2023.9.18.1 service release

September 12, 2023 by AFT

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

August 20, 2023 by AFT

ATSBot trading group gatekeeper and guardian
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
Checks the history of each member prior to acceptance for access levels
1) ATS universal account is linked to the Discord username.
2) Trader attended a Get Started Meeting or has a qualifying usage record.

KYT/KYS – Know Your Trader/Know Your Supplier – Get Started Meeting calendly.com/algotradingsystems-sales/discovery
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

Help! The ATSBot kicked me out or downgraded my access
A) Then you were inactive or not linked up
B) No get-started meeting and no qualifying usage record

Solution: Attend the 100% FREE Get Started meeting
calendly.com/algotradingsystems-sales/discovery
1) Group access to all areas to collaborate and get interactive support
2) Tech setup, product tour, ready-to-trade, free coaching session!
3) PLUS you get a free 7-day ATS Ultimate live license!
4) PLUS free trader review after 14 to 7 days.
5) Reduce the learning curve and support overhead, get a head start, and make sure you are on the right track.

Awwwww, can’t you just let me in?
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

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.
