Guide to get started with AFT7 day trading

November 25, 2020 by AFT

Session Breakout Trading Micro Futures Turnkey Workspaces pre election

Recommended Path for Getting Started with AFT7

To get started trading with AFT after installation, focus only on the session breakout workspace. Using one workspace at a time is the best practice. Follow the live market and trade from 9:30 AM NYSE EST for about three hours. Less is more; only trade one to three signals per instrument per session.

Starting out with MES is likely easier than MNQ. Save your own workspace and edit your preferred stops, targets, settings, etc. Start small, understand the controls, and system features.

Trading Tips:
Note the look and feel of successful and losing days. Avoid fear, greed, and impatience.

When to Trade and When to Sit Out?

  • Understand when to trade: market directional momentum, price analysis on higher time frames, and schedule of market-moving events.
  • Accept that market price cycles are not your fault or the system’s—trending days and choppy range-bound consolidation slow days.
  • There might only be 12 to 15 good market days per month and five horrendous ones—so why trade them if you can learn to see them prior or as they trade?
  • Better to learn to sit out, watch, and understand the cycles instead of trying to overtrade. Keep a log and note the high-probability days and the losing days. What was the context and pretext?
  • Note the calendar cycle of each new year, quarter, month, week, and day—can you use that for higher accuracy?
  • Use the Trendometer and Market Analyzer to assist and look to trade with correlation for indices of trending confluence rather than a messy, directionless market.

AFT: How It Works

There are four basic ways to trade futures with the AFT system: manual/semi/fully automated entry mode + automatic position trade exit management:

  • NYSE Session Open Breakout
  • Trend Reversal Trading
  • Manual Trade Momentum Trading
  • Manual OCO Breakout

Workspace turnkey settings are provided for that purpose. Simply install and open the system which appeals most.

Non Farms Payroll OCO Breakout Trading micro futures with AFT7

November 9, 2020 by AFT

Non-Farm Payroll OCO Breakout Trading Micro Futures in semi-automated trading mode.

https://youtu.be/UaQ5SrdLLzk

You can install and open any workspace provided that suits you. Simply wait until you are a minute or so away from the pending news release. Click the OCO button and then make sure the entry long and short are in the technical position as you like.

Now wait for the market trend momentum and price to fill one of the entry orders. The One Cancels Other (OCO) means the other order will be canceled. The AFT7 automatic trade management module will then place the trade exit orders and automatically scale out and trail the stop loss.

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.
