Algos are provisioned within the NT8 Market Analyzer
- AFT8 Algos are not NinjaTrader strategies, so there are no strategies in the NT8 Control Center.
- Algos Entry module and Algo Trade Manager modules reside in the Market Analyzer. Details view here: AFT8, the best and most advanced automated trading system for NinjaTrader.
- Algos appear and auto-start with a loaded turnkey workspace, so they are ready to operate.
- If NT8 is connected, they can auto-start and trade, wait for signals, manual approval, or fully auto.
- Algos are controlled by parameter configurations in the Market Analyzer columns and in the Algo Controllers.
Algo Controllers for Algo Entry and Algo Trade Manager
- Controllers pop up with the system workspace, allowing a high degree of control and flexibility. Manual, semi-auto, and fully auto modes are available. Look for the controllers in the NT8 windows list in case they are behind other windows, or check for errors in the logs.
- Algo Entry Controller will appear at the bottom left of the primary screen.
- Algo Trade Manager Controller will appear at the bottom left of the primary screen.
- Algo Controllers are visible regardless of which workspace is in view.
- Algo Controllers are populated with rows of systems/instruments from the Market Analyzers.
TIP: Controller Troubleshooting: Controllers are visible but have no rows - no instruments or systems visible?
- Controllers are fed from the market analyzer and it must contain:
- the AFT Algo Entry and AFT Algo Trade Man Columns.
- Instrument rows - loaded - wait for instruments to load.
