Automated Futures Day Trader Trend Scalper Turnkey Workspace for AFT7

by

Announcing a new Workspace “AFT Trend Trader Scalper-1001A-Generic-Micros” and “AFT Trend Trader Scalper-1001B-Generic-Micros” for Trend Scalping with the TrendOmeter filter system to allow many signal opportunities. This was in response to demand for a turnkey workspace which fits better with multi time frame filter directional bias and TrendOmeter usage. AFT Session Breakout System may have too few trade signals and miss out on too many good trades for some traders. This new day trading futures trend scalper setup will provide many signals per session and allow trading anywhere on the chart up or down without restriction – all filters are off no traffic light filters no trading zone filter – only the optional TrendOmeter filter or user can set long or short bias in realtime- so here is the initial draft and it will be added to the Templates Installer- consider it experimental and aimed at experienced traders who want to use the realtime interactive controls and trade man and machine hybrid automated trading.

AFT Trader John Weekly Trade Video Episode 4 – Trendometer with session breakout

by

In this weeks Algo Futures Trading Live Update AFT John demonstrates how to use the TrendOmeter and AlphaBias trend correlation system as a trade filter for both long and short trades using AFT7 trading in demonstration mode on the live futures market using NinjaTrader Platform and AFT trading the NYSE session open.

Please visit the links for TrendOmeter

Note the TrendOmeter settings filtered out good trades and allow through good trades as it was set tight at 50%, this is a stringent setting when used with a session breakout system and can be easily altered in realtime and saved. With session open breakout trading, the amount of trade signals and opportunity will be less than when used in a trend reversal and pullback continuation scenario which will allow trades to be taken further away or anywhere on the chart and using a smaller time frame.

As you can see we don’t cherry pick or cut, edit videos as John recollected “the system still made money overall that day using trendometer and there will be days where it will filter out lots of bad trades and some days where it filters out good.”
