AFT is an automated system which executes trading signals in hybrid automated modes and then engages fully automated trade management:  Real-time interaction with filters, positions targets and stops can be made by the trader via the NinjaBuddy/ Easy Trader user interface.

  • All workspaces - turnkey, demo or user defined custom settings produce signals
  • AFT monitors for real-time signals and performs algorithmic signal execution
  • Signals can be filtered with general core filters and real-time only filters

Signal Execution/Trade Entry Modes:

  1. Manual user Click Buy/Sell - OCO / Stop
  2. Semi Autonomous mode  - 1 and stop
  3. Fully automated mode -  multiple entry limited by time and goal settings

Signals Basics

1) Signals can be seen historically

2) Signals fire in real-time  - audio, voice, on chart visual and alerts window

4) Signals can be filtered historically by the core filters

5) Signals can be filtered only in real-time by Trendometer

6) Signals are executed by the Algo Trader Pro /Easy Trader

 

Check List for  "No Signals"  on chart Historically or only In Realtime

  • TrendOmeter Filter On 
    • TrendOmeter is a real-time filter so signals will be filtered out in real-time and will re-appear if you refresh the chart in historical data view
