AFT v20240528 Hot Fixes for NinjaTrader Automated Trading
- Smoother startup and loading process – allows NT8 to start up and AFT8 to load before performing license checks.
- 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.
- Loading of licenses and verifications allows NT to start and load before checking.
- Popup notifications for license issues will only occur once per session of NinjaTrader Desktop after each restart. Components will display license issues if relevant.
- 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.
- 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.
- TradOvate prop firm support requires a license as there is no way to distinguish between a SIM and a prop firm account.
- AFT8 is free for Sim, Replay, BackTest, Historical, and TradOvate Demo accounts to allow a trader to view NinjaTrader Web and NinjaTrader Desktop simultaneously.
- AFT8 requires a license for all prop firms’ evaluation and performance, live real cash, or unknown demo accounts.
- 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.
