Notice From June 2024 AFT is free for sim, replay and NinjaTrader demo account trading only paid for live and prop firm trading
AFT is free for simulation, replay, and NinjaTrader demo account trading only, plus a 7-day live full-feature trading trial.
Notice: From June 2024, AFT is free for simulation, replay, and NinjaTrader demo account trading only. It will be paid for live and prop firm trading. Free evaluation trading is no longer available for the following reasons:
- It is mostly impossible to distinguish a prop firm evaluation trading account from a live trading performance account with many prop firms using Rithmic and Tradovate.
- Most prop firms did not pay; they took all the traffic but didn’t want to pay out, except for Apex, which was 100% trustworthy. Trading Legends is brand new and 100% trusted.
- It was also impossible to see who had used our coupon and who had not, so we could not reconcile who was contributing and who was using it for free.
- The prop firm payout sum of fees collected was too small, not even covering the cost of one monthly user subscription. Imagine over time hundreds of traders trying, not paying, and wanting support; this was not viable.
- Quality affiliate partners are being invited, and the question over referrals on prop firms can be isolated.

Win-Win Scenario

Maintenance Routine
View help desk article on NinjaTrader Bars and Data
- Futures contract rollover.
- Instrument data
- Each day pre-session, download and get fresh data.
- Use the instrument manager and a list.
- Or refresh the data on the charts!
AFT Session Breakout needs 7 days of data downloaded to get the best consistent results of signals, range, and bars.

Typically, download the last 2 days, and on weekends, download the last 7 to 7 days to get the corrections and backfills.
AFT8 update version 20240528 license hotfixes
AFT v20240528 Hot Fixes for NinjaTrader Automated Trading
- Smoother startup and loading process – allows NT8 to start up and AFT8 to load before performing license checks.
- Previous versions of AFT8 would display a notice if a trader installed and used it in sim/demo mode without licenses. This has been changed to a notice that will only appear if NT is not a valid user license and there are connections to a live account or an unknown demo/prop evaluation account.
- Loading of licenses and verifications allows NT to start and load before checking.
- Popup notifications for license issues will only occur once per session of NinjaTrader Desktop after each restart. Components will display license issues if relevant.
- AFT Desktop and AWT Desktop are not started if they are not installed. If a user is using them for live trading or sim, there will be no attempt at loading or installation of desktop apps. This is purely left to the trader to follow and read the instructions in the popup or website get started info.
- As of this release, Apex Prop Firm support is enabled for free evaluation. Other prop firms require a license, free for users who use the ATS coupon.
- TradOvate prop firm support requires a license as there is no way to distinguish between a SIM and a prop firm account.
- AFT8 is free for Sim, Replay, BackTest, Historical, and TradOvate Demo accounts to allow a trader to view NinjaTrader Web and NinjaTrader Desktop simultaneously.
- AFT8 requires a license for all prop firms’ evaluation and performance, live real cash, or unknown demo accounts.
- AFT8 comes with a full live trading 7-day trial out of the box, accessible via downloading the AFT.Desktop app to sync the licenses.
