Turnkey settings and workspaces for hybrid trading and automated trading

Hybrid Trading Turnkey Workspaces

ATS provides and supports turnkey workspaces for hybrid trading. Traders elect the level of automation in attendance on the day to suit their trade plan and approach. Traders use the workspaces released in the “Zero to Hero” stages within Discord to learn and use features progressively over time, avoiding information overload.

Baseline Automated Workspaces

VIP members get access to workspaces used to run baseline tests to show different premises and features and the natural phase of market winning and drawdown. These take all trades and are not optimized for trading. Baselines are to compare back to for your variants/settings or to guide hybrid trading. A trader could optimize and tweak the supplied settings to suit their trading preference of style and risk.

Flexible Levels of Automation

The AFT system can suit day, swing, and intermediate trading over one day or many months, maintaining context and control even after a reboot and restart, with 100% unattended execution and trade management. However, the vast majority of traders use the system from 50% to 80% automation. Note: In fund trading with a $5 million account, 100% fully automated trading was engaged for a client CPC with the forerunner of the AFT system today. Even that was controlled for news and rollovers, so 90% automation was feasible/sensible. This is also a statistic used by Ray Dalio for their Alpha trading systems.

Classic Automated Trading Systems versus AFT Hybrid Trading Systems

The reason 95% fail at automated trading is they do not have any control over the system—100% classic full automation—switch on or switch off. The majority of systems worked that way until ATS developers pioneered hybrid automated trading in 2009 for NinjaTrader. Old school strategies are like sitting in the back of a rally car with no controls, steering, or brakes, no driver going over the Alps in snow and shine. The sensible majority exit the vehicle at the first series of bumps, or the bold stay in the whole way and take a full drawdown and then run out of capital. If the market phase was suitable for the system, then the remaining few percent might make it through for a quarter or a year. All systems will draw down at some point as the market phases change—the question is when the wall is hit and how long it lasts.

AFT Hybrid trading lets you control and steer past this without total switch off or on. It allows super fine control in the live market, avoidance of price risks and the doldrums, and continuation for the high probability of winning runs after the losing runs. AFT provides full control and transparency of the system, allowing the trader to use it in the way that is best for them.

What are the best settings?

This is a guessing game or a gamble. Never take it for granted that someone’s subjective best settings work for you. Only by hands-on experience and thousands of hours of chart time, stats, testing, and practice will the “best settings” and trade plan be revealed for each trader, custom-fitted to suit them. Turnkey workspaces and baseline settings make this task easier and are a base to start from and to measure back to. Some traders run with the settings provided in the turnkey workspaces and do okay, some even say great! But note that hybrid mode interaction is employed over the top to suit the trader—not something that is qualitatively repeatable by a pure robot. We cannot say if that will be the case for you.

AFT Turnkey Workspaces Update for Micro Futures

October 15, 2020 by AFT

AFT Session Breakout Micro-Equity-Index-Futures-Day Trading System

Futures Traders!
We have been listening to feedback, and less is more:
Fewer workspaces and charts.
Fewer trade signals.

Plug and Trade Functionality… Simply install, connect, and trade.
Open a workspace and trade risk-free on the sim/demo account day trading micro futures.
This new workspace will automatically install when NT7 is restarted or when the AFT7 downloads installer is run.

AFT Session Breakout Micro-Equity-Index-Futures-Day Trading System
AFT Session Breakout Micro-Equity-Index-Futures-Day Trading System

You spoke, and we listened and delivered. This time, we asked Tom Leeson of MicroTrends, a professional hedge fund algo trader and inventor of the AFT SFG Session Breakout style of trading system, to set up a workspace that he would personally consider tradeable for a semi-automated and fully automated approach with trader in attendance for day trading. This setup also utilizes the trend correlation market analyzer and a 4-view of MES, MYM, M2K, and MNQ micro futures. The system is set up to enter the market at NYSE open 9:30 AM and trade the morning session and afternoon optionally. The daily money management goal is a $200 USD profit lock per session, with 3 lots over 2 brackets. Apparently, the reason for this is that the first target takes out 66% of the position size, providing a mathematical profit breakeven without the need to trail in the stop loss, allowing the trade room to breathe.
This installer and workspaces now replace prior AFT room templates and workspaces. However, for those traders who want these, no panic; you can still install them from the workspace installer from the downloads page or via support.
As of 2020-10-15, by default, for all user micro futures workspaces, the installer will install 2 workspaces 100% free:

  • AFT SFG Breakout Trader-0000A-Generic-Micros
  • AFT Trend Reversal Trader-1000A-Generic-Micros

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.
