Turnkey workspaces

  • Trend Trading/Scalping – take Signals wherever they occur long or short at anytime your rules apply.

    Session breakout is focused on – all other system workspaces are not supported for free and new comers  so we will not be answering or providing guidance for them for traders in the early phases.

Automated Futures Day Trader Trend Scalper Turnkey Workspace for AFT7

June 7, 2021 by AFT

Automated TrendOmeter Trade Filter day trading futures trend scalping

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.

The latest AFT7 Workspace version is now 2021.6.7.1, the main program AFT7 version is now 2021.5.25.4 and in most cased should automatically update when NinjaTrader 7 is restarted however some antivirus might prevent this occurring. To manually update your AFT7 to the latest version version simply visit the AFT downloads, download & run the AFT7 Universal Installer or you can simply run the AFT7 Templates Installer to select additional options.

WARNING Please note running the universal installer will close all NinjaTrader platforms running on your PC including NinjaTrader 8, if running. Running the AFT7 Settings installer can be done with NinjaTrader running it will not affect it.

AFT Trader John Weekly Trade Video Episode 4 – Trendometer with session breakout

June 6, 2021 by AFT

In this weeks Algo Futures Trading Live Update AFT John demonstrates how to use the TrendOmeter and AlphaBias trend correlation system as a trade filter for both long and short trades using AFT7 trading in demonstration mode on the live futures market using NinjaTrader Platform and AFT trading the NYSE session open.

Please visit the links for TrendOmeter

Note the TrendOmeter settings filtered out good trades and allow through good trades as it was set tight at 50%, this is a stringent setting when used with a session breakout system and can be easily altered in realtime and saved. With session open breakout trading, the amount of trade signals and opportunity will be less than when used in a trend reversal and pullback continuation scenario which will allow trades to be taken further away or anywhere on the chart and using a smaller time frame.

As you can see we don’t cherry pick or cut, edit videos as John recollected “the system still made money overall that day using trendometer and there will be days where it will filter out lots of bad trades and some days where it filters out good.”

Risk Disclosure Futures, CFDs & forex trading contains substantial risk & is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style.

Please read the full risk disclosure here.

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results & the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, & no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results & all which can adversely affect trading results.
