AFT8 workspace update fibgrid trend % correlations

March 16, 2021 by AFT

AFT8 daily session fib grid day trading russell 2000 futures fully automated

The featured post image is a fully automated algo trading Russell 2000 with the Alpha bias intraday near and medium terms trend correlation module – this is only 1 part of the full gamut system of futures indices I use for my hedge fund trading, some features of which i am porting into the AT8 system to contain a subset of the hedge fund futures portfolio trading system. Traders, yes we really trade professionally with this tech and i don’t mean to entice by showing a real trade with real cash – i make no song or dance – big deal yet another picture of a trade, yawn… that’s a scalp in the grand scheme, but the point is, it shows a NYSE daily session breakout fib grid SFG daily short signal taken and traded and the use of the grid for targets and stops and the full version of Alpha Bias trendometer which AFT8 is spliced from…a matured trading technology only now being released after many years of usage and battle tested in live real money hedge fund trading with millions of USD for risk capital using advanced servers and technologies costing some $100KUSD per annum to run it. Now being brought to you in small form factor for desktop retail trading for you to get started day trading futures…with real deal trading tools for NinjaTrader 8 so you can trade like a pro with an edge from real deal trading systems and methodologies – AFT8 will lead the way as the best trading system for NinjaTrader from the MicroTrends hall of fame of trading systems.

So yes AFT8 will have a very similar shape, form and function, but more lightweight interactive features so it can be fully or semi automated whereas the hedge fund system is 100% algo… really not suitable for 99% of retail accounts sizes and tastes, so don’t worry AFT8 is a much smaller piece and more controllable, therefore a small price and is free unless you live trade with it.. and as the original architect and pioneer of hybrid algo trading systems we will provide features to allow easy trading and management of day trading size/small accounts – but we need time to code and release – step by step -so the next step is to add the trend correlations as below.

So the latest AFT8 Workspace update has the start of TrendOmeter Market Analyzer with Daily Fib Grid Values.
Net % is a meaningless value unless you know the typical market net % – that’s too much homework and not the now it’s yesterday. We want to see today and the current Realtime situation in the live market.
With AFT8 we make trading easy and normalize every market as a grid of % with fib grid
F0% is the open
-F100% is the bottom of the market
+F100% is the top of the market

So we can see where the price is as a % we don’t need the price – price is meaningless also without knowledge of price levels. The current Fib grid % is the key to understanding the market view from a particular session start at 0%.
We can then apply this to sessions and understand the market structure with out a chart and know the story of the market from the prior session to now or further back at a glance. Critically we can understand the trend correlation and market short term view -is is a mixed up jumbled up market or is it a moving trending flowing directional market with a decisive trend up or down -these conditions and identifying them and how to trade them if at all or to sit on the side and wait is the key to trading a trend from the beginning to the end -the trend is your friend until the end, let winners run… these clichés are timeless – and they really work.

AFT7 TrendOmeter Alpha Bias Trend

October 23, 2020 by AFT

AFT TrendOmeter Integrated with Easy Trader

Trend Correlation both vertical and horizontal is provided by the Alpha Bias Trend System – within the market analyzer.
Trend momentum trading data stream is aggregated by the AFT TrendOmeter GUI into a proprietary formula – known as the AlphaBias, Confluence and Average Bias. Unlike traditional technical analysis this system is realtime and the actual market trend – not some projected or lagging view – this is the current state of price and trend – to be used in realtime.

The best traders know that a system is merely a system – it only becomes effective when its used at a time that is most suited for its success. So in other words you need to know when to trade and when to use a trading system. We can simplify the market into 2 states: messy/choppy and directional/trending.

Time wise as a regular schedule – the NYSE open is a good time to sit down to trade as statistically the market has a tendency to move and trend.
But it can be anytime for whatever reason that the market becomes in a tradeable moving directional state – for example market moving events or a self fulfilling price technical break from a price cycle of consolidation or merely the fact the big players have an obligation to make money and so are required to create a flowing market where all players can for a time win and keep the liquidity and profits flowing – the end result is the same and we don’t care why or who.

As mere mortals and traders we want to enter the market if possible at the start of this wave and ride it or to recognize the movement of a good easy market to trade and sit out the frothy choppy market- don’t be fooled by people who want to trade with death defying stunts – make life easy and sit out the chaos and look for the easy way. The main danger we have is trading is so easy a lot of times people think this is always the case and will hand it all back… So if we can stay out of danger that is better.

So with this in mind the Alpha Bias Trend correlation view of the AFT TrendOmeter and market analyzer view allow us to view and get the story of the us indices – by color.. is it all red ok that’s a short play, is it all green ok that’s long.. is it a mixed up jumble of colors ok that’s the markets not in sync.. Consider the ES as the sun as the center of the solar system and MYM and NQ and RTY in orbit… they may indeed go different ways at times… EMD And RTY are in fact a good pair to track.. NQ will go off and do what it does on the strength of the 25% tech giants – but all at some point will align and move with the ES as it is the worlds global leading indices -so orientate around this – at least consider it.

You might see a scenario of trend arbitrage whereby the NQ, ES and YM are long above the SFG Session open by a fraction and trending uniformly with the RTY lagging back… well -that is setup for a long on the RTY as it crosses to join the gravitational pull of the others… especially easy to spot if the EMD mid cap has already crossed….

So the purpose is to provide more scope and meaning context to trading -to make it higher probability by using the old saying the trend is your friend until the end.. nothing new here… we are just building tools on proven timeless methods for trading and evolving them.

AFT TrendOmeter – Integrated with “AFT Algo Pro Trader”

Realtime TrendOmeter Filter – MultiTime Frame Trend Filter

  • Allow Short Trades when AFT% < 50%

Market Analyzer – Alpha Bias Trend View

Here we can see above in the market analyzer – the overall market US indices trend is largely green/bullish so we would be more interested in a long – when the market analyzer is too messy/mixed in color its usually best to stay out. What we are looking for is a uniform/confluence of color and market direction green for long red for short – mixed state of color is neutral.

AFT TrendOmeter StandAlone – chart Indicator 
You can add the AFT indicator “AFT 200- AlphaBias Trend”  to a chart by itself to test.

  • Open the “AFT TrendOmeter Demo” workspace to view the following

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being 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 & 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, & no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results & all which can adversely affect trading results.
