PLEASE NOTE:

  • Due to massive demand for AFT8 we are unable to answer questions in the help desk about AFT8 updates and releases as this causes delays to development and release of AFT8
  • Thanking you in advance for assisting with our mutual goals of focusing of AFT8 delivery.

AFT8 Release ETA - 2023

Best projection as of  Jan 28 - Week 1 February 1 for automated entry control system release as a goal.
Then after this to build a NinjaBuddy control set - there is no guarantees our best guess and desire is its a working released system out of beta by the end of Q1 and then will have many feature updates to come.

None of this is easy and fast as doing a standalone app which would fly along at speed, all of this is very hard work with NT8 due to architectural design and redundant framework technologies employed. 

The nature of development is that a projected 5-minute job can sometimes take several weeks of back tracking to go forwards again, so we have many false summits and a lot of bleeding through the eyes and forehead to make it work.  For all of those caveats the end result is stunning and well worth the effort and the NT Dev team have done an amazing job - thus allowing us to build the best trading system for NinjaTrader.

Hybrid Algo controller - work in progress due for release Jan Feb 23

  • Fully automated entry is not released yet Algos do no run as NT8 Strategies.
  • There is no backtester or strategy - going forwards a backtester and possibly open source version using AFTQuadroBase engine could be used.
  • AFT8 Beta will be phased out when AFT8 public release is ready 
  • AFT8 release version will be free for all sim, demo, replay, back-test and evaluation trading, only real money live trading requires a license.
  • AFT8 does have algo entry and exits now but the turnkey workspace is for hybrid entry and auto exits.
