AFT8: Our Best Automated Trading System for NinjaTrader

Why exactly is AFT8 the best algorithmic trading system for NinjaTrader, developed by MicroTrends Ltd?

AFT8 is a constantly evolving product that will become AFT9, growing with the times to stay ahead of the curve.

AFT8 server edition, first created in 2017 to power a hedge fund system by MicroTrends Ltd, evolved to 2021. It was decided to splice off a subset of this fully automated swing trading cloud technology to deliver a lightweight retail AFT8 desktop version, merging in the concepts of AFT8 hybrid trading. Battle-tested live on mini futures on commercial-sized accounts, it is now available for retail trading with accounts from 20K up for auto and less for hybrid pilot and machine.

AFT8 provides the best automated trading systems for retail day trading and swing trading Emini Micro and popular Futures, developed by MicroTrends as of 2022.

AFT8 versus AFT7

AFT7 is now just a classic minnow and a fond memory for those who have transitioned to AFT8.

  • AFT8 is an evolved system containing a superset of AFT7 and a hedge fund system trading engine.
  • AFT8 has more algorithmic trading systems and multiple timeframes:
    • Session Breakout/Gap Trader
    • Swing Trend Trader
    • Day Trader Trend Scalper
    • Mean Reversion
    • Pending:
      • News Trader
      • Cloud Trading
      • AI
      • and more…
  • AFT8 also integrates with AlphaWebTrader API link for real-time trade filters.

    2. Trade Capital: Get funded to day trade futures with a trading capital provider, no need to use your funds learning to trade.
    3. Micro Futures: Start with the smallest futures instruments such as Micro lots 1 to 3 lots to scale out
    4. Risk: Always use the smallest risk position sizing possible for example 1% or less of trade capital per trade
    5. Trade a plan: Don't chase the market or over-trade, focus on a systematic approach get consistent, trade the plan &  keep stats.

Secret to Day trading futures success

by

Our goal is very simple, buck the trend and disrupt the trading retail ecosystem with disruptive pricing,  ethics, real deal tools and to create as many winners as possible and do it for free until they are live trading and that is our mission!! 

How do traders become so successful with AFT? By taking advantage of our holistic approach to day trading, we provide a 360-degree approach with systems, tools, and coaching—all for FREE! We offer both the tools and the tuition in our free trading room to optimize results with the hybrid interactive semi-automatic approach, where trades are filtered to a long or short bias for automated entry.

The trading system entry filters we teach and provide are used as external rules to guide trading on the systems. These can consist of gaps and other technical higher time frame price analysis, market news cycles, market price cycles, levels, and seasonal trends, to name just a few. Some of these are discussed with chart screenshots, while other web trading tools provide others.

Since June 2021, we have been excited to offer our new free futures day trading group. Many traders started trading 100% free and got funded by passing a trading capital provider evaluation using our systems, or simply made profits on their own trading account risk capital. All of these people were focused, driven, and did a lot of learning. They asked questions and deserved their success—we salute you, and you make it all worthwhile!

The secret to successful day trading for these traders was based on the following list of trading systems and tools, which are available to you right now. There is no catch, no obligation, no time limits, no money or details needed—there’s no risk and no harm in trying the following to learn on sim trading and become consistent and successful at trading:

The 5-Step Basic Day Trading Approach for NYSE Session Breakout

1) Get to the desk before the open around 9 AM EST – check the news.
2) Check the 4 main indices and see what happened prior—look to see what gaps are forming.
3) Armed with that, if the gaps are all different or all the same, for example… GapBias.
4) Look at the AlphaBias… etc. Understand the strength of the instruments going into the open to make a selection of what to trade.
5) Trade from 9:30 AM EST to around 11:30 AM EST—1 to 3 signals per day, using Signal + Filters.

AFT: Where to start, what to learn?

NYSE Session Breakout
Start out and focus on the session breakout system workspace. It is a perfect match for US indices futures trading 1 to 3 hours per day.

Do less, achieve more—actually learn how to trade and leverage technology like a trader and hybrid algo/Pilot and Plane relationship.

  • Learn good habits
  • Understand the price cycles and news cycles
  • Apply good risk management
  • Make a trade plan
  • Do not overtrade.
  • Select 1 to 2 instruments to trade
  • Use other instruments for correlations
  • Attend the AFT Trade Group daily for trading tips and examples with AFT Trader John

Turnkey Workspaces

  • Session Breakout rules are explained—take signals above or below the NTZ within the trade zone.
  • Trend Trading/Scalping—take signals wherever they occur, long or short, at any time your rules apply.
  • Session breakout is focused on—all other system workspaces are not supported for free and newcomers, so we will not be answering or providing guidance for them for traders in the early phases. These are only for traders who understand what they are, are proficient, and can self-assist and use them—Trend Trader/Trend Scalper, etc. Once you have mastered the basics of the AFT7 system and one methodology, you can consider the other methods and use the trading group channels to see how people are using them, etc.

Step by Step

  • Learn how to trade and learn how to leverage the different levels of automation
  • Learn when to use the system or not and to what degree of automation on which instruments.
  • Get a routine and make it a habit—retrospect, plan, execute, and evaluate

The 5-Step Basic Day Trading Approach for NYSE Session Breakout

1) Get to the desk before the open… 9 am EST or so—check news
2) Check the 4 main indices and see what happened prior… look to see what gaps are forming
3) Armed with that, if the gaps are all different or all the same, for example… GapBias
4) Look at the AlphaBias… etc. Understand the strength of the instruments going into the open to make a selection of what to trade
5) Trading 9:30 EST to around 11:30 EST, 1 to 3 signals per day—Signal + filters

Trade Entry

  • Multiple algo signals and filters—manual, semi-auto, fully auto

Trade Exits

  • Trade Man Settings
  • All settings are adaptive—use the guide to alter if desired

Testing

  • Test in replay or walk forwards real-time
  • 100% free, unlimited, risk-free on the sim or evaluation accounts

AFT8

  • Work in progress and not supported as yet
