AFT8 for NinjaTrader 8 beta released

March 12, 2021 by AFT

AFT8 SFG Breakout Trader Turnkey workspace

AFT8 version 20221.3.12.4 is now available for all traders for all futures for free!

As promised, this week we have released AFT8 for beta. Only some of the core indicators are available, and there is much work to do. Over time, we will fix any issues from your feedback regarding bugs and glitches and add any features that make sense for all traders to have.

Going forward, we will have weekly releases, if not daily, and add features. Typically, if all goes well, updates will occur after you close down NinjaTrader 8. AFT8 will update itself and add any factory default workspaces and template modifications.

AFT8 is available in the shop as a free product AFT8 Free Trading System or available from the AFT download page. Articles and videos will follow on installation, but it should be very simple if you can use a mouse and PC and get around any AV warnings, etc. Please visit the support and help desk.

The installer is so new that all antivirus software will be moaning and asking to check and quarantine it. This is something we cannot avoid. All the code installers are code signed with MicroTrends Digicert Code signing. When the installer has earned a reputation by enough downloads, AV will become less bothersome.

AFT8 is a beta, so it might have some issues we can’t test internally, but we have tested it on a small selection of users already prior to this release.

The AFT8 installer will download the latest code and templates/workspaces and install them into your documents NinjaTrader location. It will expect a default NinjaTrader installation.

Please note the AFT8 version 20221.3.12.4 only provides, at this time, trade charting indicators, systematic trading signals, alerts, and speech. No automated trading features are available yet. We will update and release these features in the coming weeks.

Disclaimer: Trading & investment carry a high level of risk. AlgoFuturesTrader does not make recommendations for buying or selling any financial instruments, nor do we offer trading or investment advice. We are a software company, and we only provide educational information on ways to use our sophisticated Algo Futures trading tools. It is up to our customers & readers to make their own trading & investment decisions, or consult with a registered investment advisor.

Risk Disclosure: Futures, CFDs, & forex trading carry substantial risk and are not suitable 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 one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading, and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Please read the full risk disclosure here.

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is 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 and 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, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or adhere to a particular trading program despite trading losses are material points that can adversely affect actual trading results. Numerous other factors related to the markets or the implementation of any specific trading program cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and can adversely affect trading results.
