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 showcases a fully automated algo trading system for the Russell 2000, utilizing the Alpha Bias intraday near and medium-term trend correlation module. This is just one component of the comprehensive system of futures indices I employ for my hedge fund trading. Some features are being integrated into the AT8 system to include a subset of the hedge fund futures portfolio trading system. Traders, we truly trade professionally with this technology. I don’t intend to entice by displaying a real trade with real cash—it’s just another trade picture. However, it illustrates a NYSE daily session breakout fib grid SFG daily short signal taken and traded, using the grid for targets and stops, and the full version of the Alpha Bias Trendometer from which AFT8 is derived. This is a matured trading technology, now being released after years of use and battle-tested in live hedge fund trading with millions of USD in risk capital, utilizing advanced servers and technologies costing around $100K USD annually. Now, it’s being offered in a small form factor for desktop retail trading, allowing you to get started day trading futures with real trading tools for NinjaTrader 8. Trade like a pro with an edge from real 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.

Yes, AFT8 will have a similar shape, form, and function, but with more lightweight interactive features, allowing it to be fully or semi-automated. The hedge fund system is 100% algo, which is not suitable for 99% of retail account sizes and preferences. Don’t worry, AFT8 is a smaller, more controllable piece, offered at a small price and free unless you live trade with it. As the original architect and pioneer of hybrid algo trading systems, we will provide features to facilitate easy trading and management of day trading size/small accounts. However, we need time to code and release step by step. The next step is to add the trend correlations as outlined below.

The latest AFT8 Workspace update includes the start of the TrendOmeter Market Analyzer with Daily Fib Grid Values. Net % is meaningless unless you know the typical market net %, which is too much homework and not relevant now—it’s yesterday’s news. We want to see today and the current real-time situation in the live market. With AFT8, we simplify trading and normalize every market as a grid of % with the fib grid. F0% is the open, -F100% is the market bottom, and +F100% is the market top.

By viewing the price as a %, we eliminate the need for the actual price, which is meaningless without knowledge of price levels. The current Fib grid % is key to understanding the market view from a particular session start at 0%. We can apply this to sessions to comprehend the market structure without a chart, understanding the market story from the prior session to now or further back at a glance. Critically, we can grasp the trend correlation and market short-term view—is it a mixed-up, jumbled market, or a moving, trending, directional market with a decisive trend up or down? Identifying these conditions and knowing how to trade them, or when to sit on the sidelines, is crucial to trading a trend from beginning to end. The trend is your friend until the end; let winners run. These clichés are timeless and truly effective.

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 real-time and reflects the actual market trend, not a projected or lagging view. This is the current state of price and trend, to be used in real-time.

The best traders know that a system is merely a system; it only becomes effective when used at a time that is most suited for its success. In other words, you need to know when to trade and when to use a trading system. We can simplify the market into two 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 tradable 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 that 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 allows us to view and get the story of the US indices by color. Is it all red? Okay, that’s a short play. Is it all green? Okay, that’s long. Is it a mixed-up jumble of colors? Okay, that’s the markets not in sync. Consider the ES as the sun, the center of the solar system, and MYM, 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 world’s 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 a 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.

The purpose is to provide more scope and 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.

Realtime TrendOmeter Filter – Multi-Time Frame Trend Filter
Seen below is a chart from the Workspace AFT SFG Breakout Trader-0000A-Generic-Micros with the TrendOmeter Filter set to on for real-time signal filtering based on the trend aggregation of seven time frames and rules for long and short signal execution:

  • Allow Long Trades when AFT% > 50%
  • 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, it’s 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. A 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.

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.
