AFT: Where to start, what to learn?

NYSE Session Breakout
Start out and focus on the session breakout system workspace. It is a perfect match for US indices futures trading 1 to 3 hours per day.

Do less, achieve more—actually learn how to trade and leverage technology like a trader and hybrid algo/Pilot and Plane relationship.

  • Learn good habits
  • Understand the price cycles and news cycles
  • Apply good risk management
  • Make a trade plan
  • Do not overtrade.
  • Select 1 to 2 instruments to trade
  • Use other instruments for correlations
  • Attend the AFT Trade Group daily for trading tips and examples with AFT Trader John

Turnkey Workspaces

  • Session Breakout rules are explained—take signals above or below the NTZ within the trade zone.
  • Trend Trading/Scalping—take signals wherever they occur, long or short, at any time your rules apply.
  • Session breakout is focused on—all other system workspaces are not supported for free and newcomers, so we will not be answering or providing guidance for them for traders in the early phases. These are only for traders who understand what they are, are proficient, and can self-assist and use them—Trend Trader/Trend Scalper, etc. Once you have mastered the basics of the AFT7 system and one methodology, you can consider the other methods and use the trading group channels to see how people are using them, etc.

Step by Step

  • Learn how to trade and learn how to leverage the different levels of automation
  • Learn when to use the system or not and to what degree of automation on which instruments.
  • Get a routine and make it a habit—retrospect, plan, execute, and evaluate

The 5-Step Basic Day Trading Approach for NYSE Session Breakout

1) Get to the desk before the open… 9 am EST or so—check news
2) Check the 4 main indices and see what happened prior… look to see what gaps are forming
3) Armed with that, if the gaps are all different or all the same, for example… GapBias
4) Look at the AlphaBias… etc. Understand the strength of the instruments going into the open to make a selection of what to trade
5) Trading 9:30 EST to around 11:30 EST, 1 to 3 signals per day—Signal + filters
