Trading & Risk 101

Trading is simple but not easy, please do it safely and don't rush, it takes a lot of practice & stoicism, wining and losing cycles are expected!  5 quick tips to consider! 

    1. Impatience: FOMO - Fear of missing out, never rush to live money trade! Get consistent success sim trading 1 to 3 months then decide.
    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.
  • Learn & Trade risk free on the sim, demo account in NinjaTrader for free forever - AFT has no time limit, when you are ready and have proven to yourself that you are able to be successful at your own pace, you can consider live trading futures with AFT and NinjaTrader at your own discretion. Accelerate learning with a 1 to 1 day trading futures coaching but even then don't rush to live trade, put the learning into practice attend our  Free Futures Day Trading Group  for live market coaching voice and streaming at 9AM EST to 11.30 EST Mon to Fri.
  • 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.

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.

Guide to get started with AFT7 day trading

by

Recommended path for getting started with AFT7

To get started trading with AFT after installation. Focus only on the session breakout workspace, use 1 workspace at a time is the best practice.
Follow the live market and trade from 9.30 NYSE EST for 3 hours or so.
Less is more only trade 1 to 3 signals per instrument per session

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

Trading Tips:
Note the look and feel of days that are successful and losing days
Avoid fear and 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 market price cycles are not your fault or the systems -trending days and choppy range bound consolidation slow days
  • There might only be 12 to 15 good market days per month and 5 horrendous – so why trade them if you can learn to see them prior or as they trade.
  • Better to learn to sit out and watch and understand the cycles instead of try to over trade. Record 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 market -directionless. 

AFT How it works

There are 4 basic ways to trade futures with the AFT system:
manual/semi/fully automated entry mode + automatic position trade exit management:

  • NYSE Session Open Breakout
