About

Built by a Quant.
For Serious Traders.

AA Trading builds professional NinjaTrader 8 tools for futures traders who want institutional-grade order flow analysis and fully automated execution — without institutional overhead.

Our Story

These Are the Tools That Didn't Exist.

AA Trading was founded by a physicist turned machine learning researcher who spent two decades building quantitative models in fintech and applied data science before turning that same toolkit on the futures markets.

The gap was obvious: retail traders had access to platforms like NinjaTrader 8 — a genuinely powerful execution environment — but the tools available for it rarely reflected how institutions actually think about order flow. Most indicators were built around price patterns. The real information lives in delta, volume, and order absorption.

The AA Trading product line started as tools built for personal use. The Footprint Chart, the Delta Structure indicator, the ORB Strategy — each one was built because the right version of that tool didn't exist in the NT8 ecosystem. When the tools started working in live markets, the decision to share them was straightforward.

Everything here is built with the same standard: if it wouldn't hold up to a quant review, it doesn't ship.

01
Foundation
PhD — Physics & Astronomy
Graduate research in computational physics. First exposure to statistical modeling at scale — signal in noise, uncertainty quantification, large dataset analysis.
02
Industry
20+ Years Applied Machine Learning
Director-level data science roles spanning fintech, financial services, and data-intensive industries. Two patents in applied ML. Built production systems processing millions of records daily.
03
Trading
NinjaTrader 8 — Own Capital
Traded ES, NQ, and CL futures on personal capital before building a single commercial product. The architecture decisions in AA Trading tools come from live market experience, not theoretical design.

Credentials

The Background Behind the Build

Every design decision in AA Trading products traces back to specific experience. These aren't theoretical credentials — they're the actual background that shapes how the tools work.

EDUCATION
PhD · Physics & Astronomy
Graduate research in computational and observational physics. Developed rigorous statistical methodology — the same framework applied to quantitative trading analysis.
MACHINE LEARNING
20+ Years Applied ML
Two decades building production machine learning systems. Predictive modeling, anomaly detection, time-series analysis — applied at scale in commercial environments.
PATENTS
2 Patents — Applied ML
Issued patents in applied machine learning from fintech research at Finicity/Mastercard. Original algorithmic work, not incremental refinement.
INDUSTRY
Director-Level Data Science
Led data science teams and ML infrastructure at director level in financial services. Experience building systems that have to be right — not just good enough.
DEVELOPMENT
NinjaScript Expert
78 NinjaScript (C#) files built — indicators, strategies, addons, and utilities. Deep familiarity with NT8's execution engine, SharpDX rendering pipeline, and order management APIs.
TRADING
Own Capital — Live Markets
ES, NQ, and CL futures traded on personal capital before commercializing any tool. The products were built to solve real problems in live trading — not to fill a product catalog.
Philosophy

How We Think About This

Sell Tools. Not Signals.

AA Trading products give you analytical capability and automated execution. They do not tell you what to trade or promise specific returns. The edge comes from giving you better information and better execution — what you do with it is yours.

Depth Over Breadth.

The ORB Strategy has 74 configurable parameters because trading is not one-size-fits-all. Institutional-grade tools give traders full control. Simple tools are fine for casual use — they're not what serious traders need.

Build Once. Scale Indefinitely.

Every product is designed to run without ongoing maintenance from a trader's perspective. Once you configure it, it executes rules. That's the promise of automation — and it only works if the software is engineered carefully enough to be trusted.

Products

What We Build

AA Trading products are NinjaScript tools for NinjaTrader 8. All products run natively on NT8 — no external software, no bridge, no third-party data feed required.

ORB Strategy
Automated Strategy
Fully automated Opening Range Breakout strategy for ES, NQ, and CL. 74 configurable parameters covering entry logic, stop management, trailing stops, multi-target exits, streak controls, and daily risk limits.
Live
EVR Strategy
Automated Strategy
Delta divergence automation with 13 independently stackable entry filters, WPF Chart Trader sidebar, and 2-target + runner exit system.
Coming Soon
News Straddle Strategy
Automated Strategy
Scheduled OCO bracket automation for high-impact economic releases (NFP, CPI, FOMC). Fires at a precise time, manages 3-leg exits automatically.
Coming Soon
Footprint Chart
Indicator
Bid/ask volume at every price level with SharpDX Direct2D rendering. Imbalance detection, relative volume gradient, tape strip, and 6 rendering mode combinations.
Coming Soon
Volume Profile
Indicator
Three simultaneous volume profiles (session, day, custom range) with heatmap overlay. 40 configurable properties, 12 display combinations.
Coming Soon
Delta Structure
Indicator
Smart Money Concepts applied to delta candles — order blocks, BOS, CHoCH on the delta structure rather than price. No direct competitor in the NT8 ecosystem.
Coming Soon
Order Flow Bundle
Bundle
Complete order flow indicator stack: Footprint + Volume Profile + Delta Structure + EVR + Cumulative Delta + Volume Delta. All six tools at a bundled price.
