Session Breakout Micro Futures Templates Settings Update V20201019

October 19, 2020 by AFT

Algo Futures Trader Day Trading Session Breakout Live Micro Futures

After testing this out today, it was noticed that the stop loss was too tight and should have been set at around 25% of the daily session Fibonacci grid so that the stop loss appears on the opposite side of the No Trade Zone.

The Target 1 was also moved out slightly to maintain the mathematical breakeven on the two-lot scale out and the last lot trail.

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.

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:

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.
