Dalton's Auction Market Theory · Automated

You're reading the day blind.

It doesn't hint. It calls it.

The verdict, in plain language.

The read professionals spend years learning — stated live, on your chart, in words you act on immediately.

Why does it say each one? That's what your manual is for — after you're in.

Real NQ · measured, not curated

Two moments. Read the same way, every session.

The open, and the verdict when the initial balance locks. Same three lines both times: where the destination is, where the premise dies, and what you would need to be right.

09:43 · THE OPEN

Small gap, 0.18 × ATR. Destination, invalidation, reward-to-risk.

IB LOCKED · THE VERDICT

Neutral day, rotation to value. Second decision, same three lines.

MEASURED, NOT CHERRY-PICKEDGaps this size — under 0.25 × ATR — closed in 79–85% of sessions across 214 measured gaps of that class, in about a year of NQ and a year of ES. A measured frequency, not a forecast: we fixed how we would measure it before we looked, and we publish the failures too →

Illustrative session — required disclosure

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.

Screenshots show how the software displays information. They are not a record of actual trading and not an indication of any result you should expect. Past performance — actual or hypothetical — is not indicative of future results. Full risk disclosure →

Requirements

Windows, plus NinjaTrader 8 or ATAS and your own data feed. There is no macOS or Linux build.

Delivery

We send your licence key and the download by email, by hand, within 24 business hours — it is not instant. Your trial days start when you have it.

Before you start the trial

The 7-day trial takes a card up front and converts automatically to the plan you picked when it ends — $39/month or $199/year — unless you cancel first. You can cancel from day one and still use the whole trial. Prices in USD; taxes shown at checkout. 30-day money-back guarantee on your first payment.

See the Terms, the Refund Policy and the Risk Disclosure.

Before you ask

The essentials.

Is this a signal system or a bot?

Neither. It places no orders and connects to no broker — you execute, always. But it does not just draw levels either: twice a day it publishes one plan, with the level, the target, and the price that kills the premise. You decide whether to take it, how much to risk, and when to get out.

What do I need to run it?

Windows, and either NinjaTrader 8 or ATAS with your own data feed. There is no macOS or Linux build: the licence is bound to a Windows user account. Both platforms are included in every plan.

Which platforms and instruments?

ATAS and NinjaTrader 8, same core. Tuned for the NQ; the framework also applies to the ES and other index futures.

How fast do I get my licence key?

We send it by email, by hand, within 24 business hours of your purchase — it is not automatic yet, and we would rather say so than have you refreshing your inbox. If longer than that has passed, write to support@amtindicator.com and we will chase it.

What's the trial?

7 days free on your own NQ chart — the full indicator, both platforms, nothing held back. It takes a card up front and converts to the plan you picked when the trial ends, so cancel before then if it is not for you. Cancelling on day one still leaves you the whole trial.

Will it make me profitable?

No honest tool can promise that. It gives you a structured, objective read of context. Results depend on your execution, risk and discipline. Trading futures carries a substantial risk of loss. We publish what we measured — including what failed — on How we measure.

Stop guessing the day. Start reading it.
