Free Get Started Zoom Meeting product demo install get ready to trade

June 11, 2023 by AFT

Change of Model from Feb 2025-  Please note

  • Installation is Self Assisted + AI Assisted
  • Simply signup and download installers
  • Turnkey Workspaces
  • Get Started here

 

Quality, not quantity, folks. Futures have limited liquidity. True, we have billions of permutations in our dozens of algorithms and combinations, but support, training, and maintaining a high level of expertise in the community is the name of the game. With the advent of AFT8, demand is overwhelming:

  • Access is now provided to traders via 
    • Assisted software download and installation
    • ATS Account, licenses & free trials activation
    • Overview tour & demo of trading systems
    • Introduction to help, Discord & live trading chat
    • Turnkey workspaces setup ready to trade
  • Open to new traders who want to get installed and get started

Give a man a fish or teach him to fish?
We want traders who are committed to this and want to learn the craft and art of trading. Through the process of absorbing the approach and developing the right habits and routines, the system—any system—will integrate, and success will come. Happiness won’t be the amateur state of mind “happy at a win” or “sad at a loss.” It will come from the realization that the trader is being a professional, doing it the right way, and the rewards will follow.

To best achieve our goals, we need traders to get started and oriented in the fastest, best way. This is best done through a quick 1-to-1 free induction phase for getting started—a free concierge service to get installed, oriented, set up with a product tour and overview, and access to a tour of the Discord trading group for trade-along and education—ready to trade with the turnkey workspaces.

ATS retail trading systems what makes it really rewarding?

June 11, 2023 by AFT

  • Seeing traders trail a win from start to finish is gratifying, as 80% lose and 95% of them scalp. Witnessing the evolution of someone’s trading goals become tangible and making a difference is rewarding.

  • Read recent reviews from traders about trading with AFT here: AlgoFuturesTrader reviews on Trustpilot. These traders truly invested effort and time, showing commitment and deserving success.

$5250 After First Full Week

Steven has been great to work with and helpful, as has Thomas. I have traded this system in SIM for a total of ten days: 2 days in the first week, 3 days in the second week, and 5 days in the third week. I trade the MES, MYM, M2K, and MNQ with the breakout setup. I trade all four instruments from the open and finish when I close all trades; I do not continue trading. This past week, I had 3 winning days and 2 losing days, which is about what I expect. On Wednesday, I lost $200, and on Thursday, I lost $2300, but I ended the week today, Friday, June 9th, 2023, with a daily profit of $2300 and a weekly profit after all commissions of $5250. After another 3 weeks in SIM, I will move to Micros and eventually to E-minis. I will try to provide another review in a year.

Finally! A System That Is What I Have Been Looking For…

After thoroughly evaluating Algo Futures Trader for a full month, I would like to present my review of the platform. As someone involved in stock trading for the past three years, I can attest to the myriad challenges and obstacles encountered along this journey. Despite numerous subscriptions to different trading communities and the application of various stock trading algorithms, I consistently faced roadblocks in achieving sustainable success.
A significant factor hindering my progress was managing my emotions, which, if unchecked, can create upheavals in any trading account, irrespective of its magnitude. It prompted me to question what differentiated Algo Futures Trader from other platforms. The answer unraveled itself in two enlightening interactions with Steve, the company’s representative.
Steve was notably unique in his approach—absent were the overbearing sales tactics often found in this industry. Instead, he elucidated the intricacies of the system, ensuring I had a clear understanding of the expectations. Furthermore, he emphasized the importance of assessing whether there was a synergistic match between a potential client and Algo Futures Trader. This approach, showcasing their primary concern to be the quality rather than quantity of their traders, was immensely refreshing.
An additional facet of Algo Futures Trader that I was privileged to interact with was Tom. Apart from his role as a consummate professional and an endless reservoir of knowledge regarding the trading system, Tom also brings a unique edge to the table. He is the skilled coder behind the system, responsible for crafting the intricate algorithms that drive the platform’s success. His ability to answer complex technical questions with ease and his deep comprehension of the current market trends showcase his multi-faceted expertise in this field.
However, as remarkable as Steve and Tom are, the true star of my experience has been the Algo Futures Trader platform itself. Although it demands an initial investment of time to understand its operation, the payoff is substantial. In my inaugural month, I achieved my longest and most profitable green streak!
The dismal and bleak landscape of my trading career has transformed into one of enthusiasm and optimism. If you are seeking an effective trading system, supported by a team of professional, knowledgeable, and responsive individuals—one of whom is the very creator of the system’s code—I wholeheartedly recommend Algo Futures Trader. Rest assured, you will not regret this choice!


Both of these traders attended meetings and were onboarded to ensure they received a good degree of orientation. You can do the same here: get started trading 100% Free.

AFT8 Hybrid Algo Trading System official release

June 4, 2023 by AFT

AFT8

Current ATS Desktop Apps Prerequisite: .NET 8 Desktop Runtime

ATS Windows desktop apps require Microsoft .NET 8 Desktop Runtime (x64). Install the current serviced .NET 8 Desktop Runtime from the ATS download instructions or Microsoft’s .NET 8 download page, choosing Windows Desktop Runtime — Windows x64. Downloading the file alone does not install it: open the installer, complete installation and reopen the ATS app.

.NET Desktop Runtime is different from .NET Framework, the SDK and ASP.NET Core Runtime. A later major runtime should not be assumed to replace the .NET 8 runtime required by the app. If a current app still asks for another runtime, report the app name and exact message to ATS support.

Choose Self-Assisted or One-to-One Assisted Setup

If installation is difficult or you prefer someone to guide you, there are two routes. Self-assisted: follow the ATS Desktop Apps installation guide, one step at a time, with ATS Help Bot and technical support for supported issues. Get assisted: explore optional paid one-to-one onboarding and setup from independent ATS Ecosystem providers.

Ecosystem providers may help with ATS account onboarding, NinjaTrader and ATS installation, connections, licence sync and workspace setup. Review services, pricing and booking options through the ATS Ecosystem. Providers set their own terms; personal setup sessions are not automatically included with an AFT Essentials purchase. You can be experienced in trading and still choose personal help with the technology.

  • Temporary full-feature live trading licenses will be granted.
  • Over the next 2 weeks, licenses will start to lock down features.

Why Should I Upgrade from AFT8 Beta to the AFT8 Official Release?

  • AFT8 Beta will expire.
  • Grace period for full licenses.
  • New features are being released all the time.
  • Prior versions will expire after a period.

Introducing the ATS.AlgoFuturesTrader.Desktop App

ATS.AlgoFuturesTrader.Desktop
ATS.AlgoFuturesTrader.Desktop for license sync, remote trading, and more

This should ideally be installed before AFT8RC1 is installed. AFT8 will attempt to install and require your permission to install. Install from here: https://algotradingsystems.s3.amazonaws.com/aft-desktop/Publish.html. The following prerequisites are required: .NET 8 Desktop Runtime (x64). Direct link here: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0

AFT Licenses for Live Trading Modes

The AFT8 live licensing is being enforced tentatively as we don’t want to disrupt evaluations and live trading. The system will appraise how NT8 is being used, e.g., in Sim mode or live mode/eval mode, and then check your ATS licenses. If it can’t reconcile a license to allow live account trading or eval trading, it will display a message that can be saved and sent to support to work out a plan. This approach will disable features after a timeout period, allowing time for organization. Please join us in the ATS Trading Discord Group for interactive support and Q&A.

It is up to our customers & readers to make their own trading & investment decisions, or consult with a registered investment advisor.

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.
