AFT8 trades not being taken automated entry

Problem: No trades Taken by the aFT8 algo entry system

Common Reasons:

  1. The system is set to auto-off
  2. The long or short is off
  3. The semi-auto feature was used and set trading off after it had entered and stopped all trading it takes 1 shot and stops in both directions
  4. the system max trades per session were reached for a day or week
  5. there were no trading signals or the signals were filtered out F1, F2, FTE, FTX, on the algo entry controller 
  6.  time session filters for entry and exits
  7. Contract expiry rollover days prevent trading
  8. wrong account or instrument not configured not in the algo entry controller/market analyzer
  9. wrong license - blocking live trading, etc on a sim license
  10. Data Lagging Filter: the system has detected data lagging and is not trading
  11. AFT.Desktop has not been installed and no license is found by NT8  or EULA not agreed
  12. Workspace templates are not configured correctly for the indicators used as signals or as filters in the algo entry module- the templates must be "Default" or something else...

Are all the indicators configured with a template - should not be empty

Check

Go back to Basics

Close your workspace use workspaces 2 or 3 -  make sure you can use that workspace -change account and trade - turn off the filters - to make sure trades can be taken.  Then add back filters as required.

NB:- If you are using other workspaces they need re-configuring to make sure all the filter indicators are configured correctly as above

 

1) are you able to take a trade manually long or short - does the trade man kick in
2) with no filters on at all - set the system on to take a long and short and test.
Details and steps to replicate are required to understand the context for your question to diagnose.


Details such as:
1) Workspace - turnkey any changes  -
2)Post a controller screenshot so we can diagnose and verify  - show the full details all filters and signals etc

3) Error log - is all functioning - Timezone/ Language settings - this is not relevant anymore but would be the last call to check.
