AFT stands for Anchor Column Follow Through Pattern.

All these patterns belong to the same AFT family. These options allow you possibilities of using variations of these patterns based on your preference.
Below is an explanation for the Bullish Probable AFT.
The bullish anchor column represents strong bullish momentum in the stock.
After the anchor column, the follow-through breakout helps identify bullish trade opportunities when momentum is strong.
Follow-through pattern is a double top buy pattern.
The follow-through pattern that took place within 9 columns in the AFT pattern is effective (8 columns after Anchor column). It is possible for the Bullish Anchor column to appear in any column during the last 9 columns. The price should not break the anchor column high or low before triggering a follow-through breakout.
Double top buy pattern in the 4th column after bullish anchor column is a 4-column AFT pattern. Double top buy pattern in the 6th column after bullish anchor column is a 6-column AFT pattern. And the breakout in the 8th column is an 8-column AFT pattern.
A bullish AFT pattern considers all these scenarios and marks the pattern accordingly.
