The ATS Five-Step Session Breakout Approach

Prepare before the open: Be at the trading desk before 8:15 AM CT and review economic news, earnings, market headlines, and scheduled volatility events.
Review the major indices: Examine overnight price action, higher-time-frame structure, previous-session levels, and pre-market gaps across the principal U.S. equity indices.
Establish market context: Determine whether the indices, gaps, trends, and sentiment are aligned, mixed, or diverging.
Confirm with ATS tools: Use AWT technicals, correlations, market bias, algorithmic signals, and the ATS AI Trade Copilot to evaluate the opportunity.
Trade the planned session: Focus on qualified opportunities from the 8:30 AM CT cash-session open through approximately 11:00–11:30 AM CT while following the trade plan and defined risk limits.

AFT7 update for market analyzer performance issue fixes

May 28, 2021 by AFT

AFT7 was updated as part of maintenance after reports of a slowdown in performance around the NYSE session open. The NinjaTrader 7 would become unresponsive. Optimization development was made to the USAR indicator and USAR OSC, which are used within the AlphaBias Market Analyzer that powers the AFT7 Trendometer. Chart loading time and overall smoother performance have been reported since the corrective development.

AFT TrendOmeter Integrated with Easy Trader – as found in the Turnkey workspaces installed

The latest AFT7 version is now 2021.5.25.4 and in most cases should automatically update when NinjaTrader 7 is restarted. However, some antivirus software might prevent this from occurring. To manually update your AFT7 to the latest version, simply visit the AFT downloads, download & run the AFT7 Universal Installer. Please note this will close all NinjaTrader platforms running on your PC.

AFT7 AlphaBias TrendOmeter — AFT7 version can be located in the properties of each component or in the AFT7 Easy Trader User Info panel

To see what version of AFT7 you are running, please see this screenshot which shows two places to identify the AFT7 version you are using. For installation help for AFT7, please visit the AFT Quick Start help guide.

Guide to get started with AFT7 day trading

November 25, 2020 by AFT

Recommended Path for Getting Started with AFT7

To get started trading with AFT after installation, focus only on the session breakout workspace. Using one workspace at a time is the best practice. Follow the live market and trade from 9:30 AM NYSE EST for about three hours. Less is more; only trade one to three signals per instrument per session.

Starting out with MES is likely easier than MNQ. Save your own workspace and edit your preferred stops, targets, settings, etc. Start small, understand the controls, and system features.

Trading Tips:
Note the look and feel of successful and losing days. Avoid fear, greed, and impatience.

When to Trade and When to Sit Out?

Understand when to trade: market directional momentum, price analysis on higher time frames, and schedule of market-moving events.
Accept that market price cycles are not your fault or the system’s—trending days and choppy range-bound consolidation slow days.
There might only be 12 to 15 good market days per month and five horrendous ones—so why trade them if you can learn to see them prior or as they trade?
Better to learn to sit out, watch, and understand the cycles instead of trying to overtrade. Keep a log and note the high-probability days and the losing days. What was the context and pretext?
Note the calendar cycle of each new year, quarter, month, week, and day—can you use that for higher accuracy?
Use the Trendometer and Market Analyzer to assist and look to trade with correlation for indices of trending confluence rather than a messy, directionless market.

AFT: How It Works

AFT7 TrendOmeter Alpha Bias Trend

October 23, 2020 by AFT

Trend correlation, both vertical and horizontal, is provided by the Alpha Bias Trend System within the market analyzer. Trend momentum trading data stream is aggregated by the AFT TrendOmeter GUI into a proprietary formula known as the AlphaBias, Confluence, and Average Bias. Unlike traditional technical analysis, this system is real-time and reflects the actual market trend, not a projected or lagging view. This is the current state of price and trend, to be used in real-time.

The best traders know that a system is merely a system; it only becomes effective when used at a time that is most suited for its success. In other words, you need to know when to trade and when to use a trading system. We can simplify the market into two states: messy/choppy and directional/trending.

Time-wise, as a regular schedule, the NYSE open is a good time to sit down to trade as statistically, the market has a tendency to move and trend. But it can be anytime for whatever reason that the market becomes in a tradable moving directional state, for example, market-moving events or a self-fulfilling price technical break from a price cycle of consolidation, or merely the fact that big players have an obligation to make money and so are required to create a flowing market where all players can, for a time, win and keep the liquidity and profits flowing. The end result is the same, and we don’t care why or who.

As mere mortals and traders, we want to enter the market, if possible, at the start of this wave and ride it, or to recognize the movement of a good, easy market to trade and sit out the frothy, choppy market. Don’t be fooled by people who want to trade with death-defying stunts. Make life easy and sit out the chaos and look for the easy way. The main danger we have is trading is so easy a lot of times people think this is always the case and will hand it all back. So if we can stay out of danger, that is better.

So with this in mind, the Alpha Bias Trend correlation view of the AFT TrendOmeter and market analyzer view allows us to view and get the story of the US indices by color. Is it all red? Okay, that’s a short play. Is it all green? Okay, that’s long. Is it a mixed-up jumble of colors? Okay, that’s the markets not in sync. Consider the ES as the sun, the center of the solar system, and MYM, NQ, and RTY in orbit. They may indeed go different ways at times. EMD and RTY are, in fact, a good pair to track. NQ will go off and do what it does on the strength of the 25% tech giants, but all at some point will align and move with the ES as it is the world’s global leading indices, so orientate around this, at least consider it.

You might see a scenario of trend arbitrage whereby the NQ, ES, and YM are long above the SFG Session open by a fraction and trending uniformly with the RTY lagging back. Well, that is a setup for a long on the RTY as it crosses to join the gravitational pull of the others, especially easy to spot if the EMD mid-cap has already crossed.

The purpose is to provide more scope and context to trading, to make it higher probability by using the old saying, “The trend is your friend until the end.” Nothing new here; we are just building tools on proven timeless methods for trading and evolving them.

AFT TrendOmeter – Integrated with “AFT Algo Pro Trader”
If you open the supplied turnkey workspaces, then you should see it working alongside the AFT Easy Trader – NinjaBuddy GUI. You can toggle off the toolbar menu.

Realtime TrendOmeter Filter – Multi-Time Frame Trend Filter
Seen below is a chart from the Workspace AFT SFG Breakout Trader-0000A-Generic-Micros with the TrendOmeter Filter set to on for real-time signal filtering based on the trend aggregation of seven time frames and rules for long and short signal execution:

Allow Long Trades when AFT% > 50%
Allow Short Trades when AFT% < 50%

Market Analyzer – Alpha Bias Trend View

Here we can see above in the market analyzer, the overall market US indices trend is largely green/bullish, so we would be more interested in a long. When the market analyzer is too messy/mixed in color, it’s usually best to stay out. What we are looking for is a uniform/confluence of color and market direction: green for long, red for short. A mixed state of color is neutral.

AFT TrendOmeter Standalone – Chart Indicator
You can add the AFT indicator “AFT 200- AlphaBias Trend” to a chart by itself to test.

Open the “AFT TrendOmeter Demo” workspace to view the following

AFT TrendOmeter with Market Analyzer – powering the Alpha Bias view

AFT TrendOmeter is powered by the Market Analyzer – Alpha Bias

The Market Analyzer open with the relevant instruments
- MES, ES, NQ, MNQ, RTY, M2K, YM, MYM, EMD.
