AFT8 update version 20240528 license hotfixes

by

AFT v20240528 Hot Fixes for NinjaTrader Automated Trading

  1. Smoother startup and loading process – allows NT8 to start up and AFT8 to load before performing license checks.
  2. Previous versions of AFT8 would display a notice if a trader installed and used it in sim/demo mode without licenses. This has been changed to a notice that will only appear if NT is not a valid user license and there are connections to a live account or an unknown demo/prop evaluation account.
  3. Loading of licenses and verifications allows NT to start and load before checking.
  4. Popup notifications for license issues will only occur once per session of NinjaTrader Desktop after each restart. Components will display license issues if relevant.
  5. AFT Desktop and AWT Desktop are not started if they are not installed. If a user is using them for live trading or sim, there will be no attempt at loading or installation of desktop apps. This is purely left to the trader to follow and read the instructions in the popup or website get started info.
  6. As of this release, Apex Prop Firm support is enabled for free evaluation. Other prop firms require a license, free for users who use the ATS coupon.
  7. TradOvate prop firm support requires a license as there is no way to distinguish between a SIM and a prop firm account.
  8. AFT8 is free for Sim, Replay, BackTest, Historical, and TradOvate Demo accounts to allow a trader to view NinjaTrader Web and NinjaTrader Desktop simultaneously.
  9. AFT8 requires a license for all prop firms’ evaluation and performance, live real cash, or unknown demo accounts.
  10. AFT8 comes with a full live trading 30-day trial out of the box, accessible via downloading the AFT.Desktop app to sync the licenses.

Introducing Custom Trading Signals

The best algo trading system framework for NinjaTrader 8 just got even better with successful tests allowing third-party code/traders to create scripts in NinjaTrader as indicators, DOM columns, strategies, market analyzer columns, or even bar types. Any script can inject signals based on real-time market-generated information and submit the signal into the AFT8 Algo Trading Signal Execution engine. This can be used for:

  1. Developers who wrote a script in an indicator or strategy and want the off-the-shelf power of AFT and NinjaTrader.
  2. Professional standard symmetric and asymmetric trade copying from one account system to another.
  3. Any requirement your imagination can conceive; the sky is the limit.

The advantages are that you can mix your signal with hybrid controllers and apply a bias long or short, or use off-the-shelf filters. Use professional hedge fund standard technology to power your trading, cope with disconnects and restarts, and enable you to trade like a pro swing trader overnight, over the weekend, and even intermediate over months without losing context and control. You can even use the NinjaTrader.com web system to monitor and view your positions and orders, close or alter them as you wish, and the NT mobile system will adapt and keep going, whereas a strategy will halt for safety reasons as it should by design.

This is the remarkable power of NinjaTrader, allowing institutional trading system patterns and methods at the underlying API level to produce the very best NinjaTrader system for futures. No other retail platform on the market can do this! If it could, we would use it. The AFT8 system uses low-level asynchronous NinjaTrader API layers, allowing us to bypass the retail trader convenience layers and provide a fault-tolerant, self-recovering system, provided there is a valid internet and data/order connection.

Note: Originally, this was all built for a hedge fund and then migrated to retail, hence why a $300K USD trade engine is made available for you for retail trading at less than $5K! Now you can harness all this power 100% free for sim trading, demo, and approved Prop firms with the built-in algo trading system rules and filters, or just use your own straight-through or algo blend, mix them in, and access all features!

Note: Interactive support is provided in the Discord groups:
