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.

• Winning & Losing Cycles. You need to experience at least 1 to  3 months to see the typical cycles of the market and news cycles weeks of the months. You might start on a winning cycle on sim and suffer from recency bias, thinking its always easy to trade and rush to go live only to get hit by a losing cycle in live money trading and then pull the plug and freak out then you will miss the next winning cycle taking all the losers and missing all the winners the double whammy of trading! 
• There is No short cut,  it takes time,  get a routine, practice and wait  until you are consistent month to month on the sim at your discretion and then consider live money,  or if you are certain sure you got the ability at the start, at the very least get funded to trade with a 3rd party trading capital so they take the risk...!  You may well catch a longer term easy phase of trading from the get go, and make good but eventually it will happen you will get a drawdown and a string of loses...losing days and even weeks may occur but if you the trader are consistent over the long term month to month you can succeed.
