AFT8 Update – Key Highlights

Introducing the Next Generation of Trade Copier for NinjaTrader

Tired of slippage and unreliable trade copiers that clog up your trading for prop firm trading multiple accounts? We’ve got a breakthrough solution for you!

Most third-party trade copiers are plagued by:

• Inefficient order listening: They must listen for each fill or update, then copy, create, and submit new orders—introducing lag and slippage.
• Poorly written, multithreaded code: Race conditions, locks, and jams can bring NinjaTrader to a halt, forcing frequent restarts.
• Low-latency limitations: The serial, one-order-at-a-time approach delays execution and can lead to missed opportunities and slippage.

Trade copiers available as NinjaTrader 8 add-ins are often poor in quality—they tend to jam, slow down NT8, and suffer from high latency. This is because they have to wait, listen, filter orders, and then act by copying the orders and sending them to each account round-robin… yawn… how slow can you go?—about as efficient as waiting for a bus. Frankly, that’s not impressive.

As always, we’re ahead of the curve, setting trends that the ecosystem eventually follows—hybrid trading, Fib Grid, ATR bars/self-adapting bars, just to name a few. Now, our latest breakthrough is the Multi-Shot system: a revolutionary 21-shot trader that fires trades simultaneously into 21 accounts at the same time with ultra-low latency. This system takes the fastest route, eliminates NT8 jams, avoids waiting for the bus, and minimizes slippage to the absolute minimum. All orders are instantaneous in parallel—firing all at once is now possible with AFT8.

The Multi-Shot Entry Advantage – Simplicity + Lowest Latency Fills

Our new Multi-Shot Entry feature takes an entirely different, more efficient approach:

• Single Trigger: Pull the trigger once, and all selected sub-accounts fire orders simultaneously.
• Low Latency and Reliability: No waiting on a round-robin approach—think of it like a multi-barrel shotgun firing every chamber at once.
• Scale Easily: Trade one “leader” account (e.g., on SIM) and instantly replicate the same trades across up to 20 sub-accounts without the usual trade copier overhead.
• 21 Parallel Accounts: One leader account and 20 sub-accounts with instant order submission in each in parallel—20 times quicker than a trade copier!
• Simple Config: Simply select your accounts in the Trade entry algo “Trade System MultiShot” section and enable “IsTradeMultiShotOn” trades will be mirrored.

Flexible Exit Management

We’re also developing two styles of trade exit management:

1. Per-Account Trade Managers
   • Each account can have a dedicated “Algo Trade Manager”, allowing fully symmetrical or asymmetrical rules and profit targets.
2. Leader/Follower Exit Management
   • A single manager/mirror that controls all 20 accounts uniformly, just like a traditional trade copier—only vastly more efficient.

Release and Availability

• We will begin rolling out Community Technology Previews (CTPs) to our VIP members—those in the “CTP” role—very soon this week.

Stay tuned for more details on how you can dramatically reduce latency and trade more efficiently across multiple accounts—all without slowing down NinjaTrader or dealing with trade copier headaches.

But let’s be clear—this isn’t just another trade copier. This is a Multi-Shot Trader. We’ve redefined the traditional leader-follower model from the trade copier world into a concept of a primary account with sub-accounts—a complete shift from how copying trades has worked until now. In the race of the tortoise and the hare, the hare finally wins. In trading, faster is better, and less is more.
