AFT7 – How to use the pre-installed Turnkey AFT7 Session Open Breakout Trading system in real-time live market data – 100% risk-free on the NinjaTrader simulator.

This demonstration uses 3 lots trading Micro Futures #MNQ, #MYM, #MES, #M2K. More lots can be added. This demonstrates a minimal amount to day trade on small accounts. Less is more, aiming for about 1 to 3 trade signal operations, long or short, per session trading from 9:30 EST to about 12:30 EST. Trading this approach for 1 to 3 hours is all you need. Trade 3 days per week; some days you might sit out to evaluate the price cycles or higher time frame price analysis, or sit on the side, then go in when the market correlation and direction are clean and clear.

US Equities Session Open Micro Futures Day Trading System Basics

November 3, 2020 by AFT

System Premise

The trend is your friend until the end. Let winners run and cut your losers.

Note: You trade out from the session open and do not take reversal trades back to the open from the high or low, etc. You let it run and trail.

Get in a trade as early as possible and avoid chop and false signals. Aim for an entry price near the session open price, ensuring a high probability of a run leading to a profit, as opposed to entering later at the high and trend exhaustion or requiring a larger stop loss to weather pullback continuations or chop and noise.

To get started with this system, please use the workspace “AFT SFG Breakout Trader-0000A-Generic-Micros” and view the following guidance for AFT Day Trading Micros Session Open Breakout.

With this system, you enter with the trend momentum and direction of the market from the session open when there is statistically significant momentum and direction caused by the NYSE open. You should aim to enter a trade from 9:30 AM EST to 11:00 AM as a guide.

AFT System Details

Using the Daily Session Fib Grid signals indicator as the system base, signals are taken above or below the Daily Session Fib Grid “No Trade Zone” (NTZ) within a percentage above and below that area, called the trading zone. The area is set by the “SFG Proximity Filter %”.

The SFG Fib Grid provides a map of price as a grid of percentages. The open is F0%. +F100% is the daily expected high, and -F100% is the daily expected low.

We can use the grid for entries, targets, stops, and as a filter. The trading zone where we take signals as trades could be +F31% of the Daily SFG Grid above and -F31% below. This region can be adjusted to suit trading style.

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.
