If you are running multiple automated traders then you need to run: I must have done something wrong then. With it set to never notify, I see the authorization code and my accounts.

When I open up Properties, the Target is locked in, and I cannot modify it. Is there another way of doing this? Only way to do it is to delete the shortcut and create a new one. To start off with, this shortcut did not get set up in Program Files, it was set up under Users. I can change the Start in, but cannot change the Target.

Actually, I also had a problem setting up a scheduled task in that it would start the program but asked for the CT password, even though I had all the suppress boxes checked. I got around that after experimentation directly through the Task Scheduler once I had set up the task. When I tried to set up a scheduled task through CT, it would not allow it because of a password issue relating to the user, even though I had shut down that option and I never set up a user password.

I also allowed the user to have Full Control under Permissions to be able to modify and edit. So far, no luck. I have an etrade account. When I select either Simulator with the etrade datafeed, or select ETRADE Live mode, it automatically pops up the etrade website, where I can log into my etrade account and then it generates an authorization code that I copy.

As soon as highlight the code on the website and then click CTRL-C the code automatically goes to cooltrade and then it logs you in. Thanks for the info Definitely has nothing to do with etrade. Sorry for the caps. Yes it is a problem during login. After CT finishes with the agreement window when the small login window pops up I get a " The application failed to initialize properly 0xc Click OK to terminate the application" message, it does it every time CT tries to launch the Etrade API and even when clicking on the api.

I suggest installing dot net and see if it fixes it. I cannot seem to get the Microsoft download link to work. So, search Google for this phrase and it should give you a link to install the dot net framework: I downloaded the framework and it logs in fine, although is past 4pm so the watchlist on the bottom is not loading.

We removed the Edit Strategy from the Options Menu. Just click on the Strategy name to edit it. I loaded the agreesinve long strategy which brings up about 12 symbols and that opens smoothly. CoolTrade with ETrade is fairly new so we have not yet received a lot of feedback. When it starts in the morning I see the Watch List symbols coming in each minute. See if that helps. But I have never received an email regardless of what setting this is on.

How can I receive an email noticewhen someone has posted? We had to turn off that feature because too many people were turning it on and then forgetting that they turned it on, and then screamed spam when the posts kept going to their email.

Also, AOL subscribers change their AOL screen names, and the emails end up going to the AOL Spam Reports and our ISP was getting turn-off threats from AOL. I have read some old threads regarding running CT on VPN or other remote servers. If so, please let me know your experience and recommendations.

My CT trader runs on a server in my rack that is colocated at my ISP. It starts via the task scheduler and auto-shuts down at 11pm. Whenever I want to see how it is doing I just use logmein. Thanks Jerry for sharing your experience. Did you rent the server or you using your own? How do you sign-up for the service?

Thanks Keith for the info. I checked all sites and the first two seem pricy and having a new desktop might be better, as you said. Here is an easy to use Windows Task Scheduler that was sent to us. It seems to work on all versions of Windows. My Cool Trade instance is installed on Windows I do not see any entries made by the program in Windows Scheduled tasks.

Should I see any scheduled tasks? I use Windows Remote Desktop to access the Windows Server instance running Cool Trade. The Cool Trade program closes when I log out of the instance Do you have any thought of compiling Cool Trade to run as a service or is there a way to do this?

Then, the program will shutdown based on the shutdown time specified on the Preferences screen in the Automated Trader. All it is supposed to do is create the job in the Windows Task Scheduler. Here is how you schedule the job to start in the Windows Task Scheduler: Then, if you need to do anything manually, it will prompt you for your password, the first time you try to do something.

The CoolTrade program is probably running but when you log in without those options then you are only seeing one instance and not the actual instance of the desktop. It should keep running even if you log out of your remote session. I unchecked the Auto-start option. I did create a task as you suggested and tested it Thanks for the other tips. The option was only put there in hopes that the trader could auto-schedule the job in the Windows Task Scheduler.

Once it is in the Windows Task Scheduler, the job will start every day. The software shuts off based on shutdown time you specify in on the Preferences screen. In any case, it will automatically turn itself off when the date changes at midnight. I wondered why the program was gone the next day. Glen, After you schedule the job in the Windows Task Scheduler, immediate click on the task and click RUN. If it runs, complete hands free as if you were not in the housethen everything is perfect.

I ended up putting a shortcut for CT in the startup folder C: This worked, but I cannot figure out how to get the PC to autostart with Win 8. If I fail here, then I might have to figure out if it is worth it to try to find a Win 7 PC before they are all gone.

I have been stopped by another wall. Below is an copy of the message: The system cannot find the file specified. Scheduling new CoolTrade task. The Windows Task Scheduler requires your Windows Password.

Press any key to continue. I have tried it with a Windows logon password and without a Windows login password. All attempts have resulted in unsuccessful results.

Then all of the software will be installed and it should fix the problem. The file menus will not work if you have not launched RegOcxFiles with UAC off after a reboot.

My scheduler is working fine, except for hanging at this window It would be nice at the end of threads if people acknowledged that the proposed solution worked. That would be a dream! Unfortunately, once a problem is resolved, people just move on. I can assure you that problems reported years ago have long been resolved. Also, most problems reported only happen on that single clients computer and then it gets resolved.

But when people come to the boards they think everyone is experiencing every problem reported. For example the problem you reported with the flash intro, was only happening to you.

We could have spent time to go on your computer and figure out why it only happens on your computer. I just thought it would be quicker to just comment it out in the startup code since it really serves no value. I am a new CoolTrade client and I have run into a series of glitches with the program.

I am seeking some assistance and clarification in regard to the following concerns; - Of the 3 windows required to run the software strategy wizard, watchdog and trading platform the trading platform window does not appear when double-clicked. This window initially did open when double-clicked, however it has recently stopped opening when double-clicked. Is this operator error or is this a technical glitch? If so, how do I address this? Would this likely be related to my home internet connection, or is this to do with some other connectivity hub I am unaware of?

I have had this program for 2 weeks and would like to have it up and running as soon as possible. I appreciate any and all assistance in this matter, and look forward to hearing any response. If you have XP then gb of ram is enough. If the above is not the problem then you should send email to support cooltraderpro. I would uncheck the "restart on unscheduled exit" because if it is restarting while the program is already running that means something on your computer is making it hard for the automated trader to communicate with the watchdog.

Hi, I have only just started using CoolTrader today, I have come across a few errors and questions that I have not been able to find answers to. If PC running CoolTrader shuts down does this mean that CoolTrader will not execute any trades.

When you download a strategy from cool-trade. If trading a long strategy is it best to also trade the short? How do you sign up to become a distributor best online broker for shorting stocks the software? Alot of questions I know.

I can try to help you. All of your open position will just sit and wait for the trader to run again. Maybe you can go into your printer settings and manually change the margins? Each license is only for 1 trader which can run 1 long and 1 short strategy at the same time.

Once you open it you can rename it. Make sure you click save when you are done. However, I would not copy a strategy directly from the website. Those same strategies can be seen and copied from the bottom of the list in the Strategy Wizard when you click OPTIONS next to any strategy. But I prefer to only trade Long because shorting can be dangerous because a stock could go up an unlimited amount, while a long position has a fixed amount that it can go down.

All else failed so I uninstalled and reinstalled program. That is good to hear. I have had that issue once and it turned out my operating system had stock trader vacancies malware that I had to remove.

When the trader is updating, nothing related to the trader can be running because it will not update that file. For instance, if it says the file it is waiting on is "NSWizard" then chances are NSWizard is still running in the background. Just end the task and that should fix it.

On my first day, was unable to get software to work on my more current CPU running windows 8, i7 - 3GHz Processor, 6 GB Ram. Had an old CPU collecting dust and i plugged that one in Windows XP, Pentium 4, 3. Tech Support made some adjustments on the newer PC and was able to get it to run but its still not as stable i. Looking perhaps to just have a dedicated system thats optimal for running CT. In particular, your OS, memory, processor, etc Spec. Davisp, I know that there are plenty of people out there running CoolTrade on a windows 8 black scholes time to maturity trading days but I have my trader working like a charm and here are my specs.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 1. Here is a simple how-to for this: It really depends on how many symbols you are loading too. CT does a lot of math. CPU speed is the most important thing in this case. I would say a good limit of symbols is 35 and no 1934 stock market than that.

If there are more than that you could run into the risk of the computer just shutting down CT completely. Faster the computer, the more symbols it can handle since there is so much going on. Is it possible to resize the window or columns in exercising stock options startup CT main screen.

They cannot be resized. You have to go into your settings and make everything smaller so it fits. Can I use another computer to run Cooltrader on if my first computer becomes unreliable? I have downloaded CoolTrader software on to a 2nd computer and ask if I need to make any alterations to this 2nd computer for it to run the Cooltrader program successfully? You may install the software onto as many computers as singapore dollar selling rate philippines like, but you can only run the software on one computer at a time.

Further to my question -running the software on multiple computers - using Interactive Brokers data feed are any tweeks needed to individual computers so as to receive the data feed - I ask this question because the IB TWS would not open on my new computer although simulation data from CT was perfect.

You just need to make sure you that install TWS the same way you did on the first computer. Copy all the settings so that they match and they should work the same. If the system disables then I assume I should load and run CT from my desktop at home? Steve, If your internet connection goes away, then the software will just sit and wait until the internet connection comes back.

So, basically during that time, you are a buy-and-holder of the positions you are in until the internet connection resumes. Teamviewer is free remote access software that you can use to access an internet connected system remotely.

Note Your ID and password so you can use this information to access your machine later.

Install Teamviewer the same way onto another computer that you wish to remotely access the other system and under the "Partner ID" field you will enter the ID you notated earlier and click connect to Partner button.

Copy all of the contents of this folder. Go back to the parent directory for CoolTrade. Open the folder you created earlier for the second install of CoolTrade. Paste what was in the other directory, into the new one.

Create a task schedule for each install of CoolTrade. Make sure to point to cooltrade. You will need to use cooltrade. Now that the information needed to login is stored, test the task schedules. If the hsbc foreign exchange rate calculator schedules launch both programs, everything was done correctly.

CoolTrade is a CPU intensive program. To determine if your computer can handle the workload, use the reference of 2 cores at 2ghz and 1gb of ram per trader. If you have penny stocks with the most potential 2016 octo-core 8 processor and 8gb of ram, your computer can have 4 traders.

First I would make sure that your software is up to date. After that has completed follow the below steps on setting up the connection to your broker. Copy and paste into browser cooltradekb. It still brings up the broker software and no CoolTrader.

If I just do a straight Simulator mode it will come up. Leathal, Please follow the setup instructions for TWS as per this video. Copy and Paste below into web address bar install.

I click on the visit etrade website and nothing happens. After this try to log in again using the Etrade account information when prompted.

Once the code is in there.

Is it necessary to backup the strategies for safe keeping in case of unexpected data loss or are they stored "in the cloud" under my account. The same goes for any other settings. If backups are required, what files would be best to grab for backing-up to recover from a loss? John, All strategies are stored server side, so no personal backup is required. So whenever I try to run a scheduled task to start CTP, I get an invalid logon error message and CTP is shutdown.

When I manually start CTP I can logon just fine. Just have to manually enter the password each time. The only difference I can see is that I installed CTP in its own directory instead of the Windows x86 directory. Could that be the problem? When a program is installed, there are certain rights that are assigned to it. In order for CoolTrade to save your login information, it needs to change an encrypted file in the CoolTrade directory, so this is what I am thinking is not happening.

Make sure this is in there or the task just does what it is being told and to run the software, not automatically populate the password field. Just a side note, I would also upgrade to developer version if you have not done so already. The developer version at the time of this post is 7. Good luck and I hope you get CoolTrade working! The latest version right now is 7. How can this be automated using windows 8?

I think i have it set as windows vista however. Here is another solution for you dameon: Copy the line of text I have provided below: Now save the file on your desktop and name it "schedule.

There might be some changes that would need to be made in the text I provided. For instance, if you computer is a bit operating system, then chances are CoolTrade is installed at C: You will also want to change the time if needed. The current time set is for If you live say on pacific, you would want to change that to I have been running in simulator mode Then I went back to simulated mode.

I noticed it would not allow me to manually log in. When I enter the password, nothing happens, I just get a system bell sound and no keystrokes are entered into the text box. I went on vacation for 3 weeks and that did not cure the problem! It has been starting up automatically, on time in the morning and running my strategy in simulated mode. Now I want it to auto trade it I have downloaded the "new software" It should go to the CoolTrade login screen.

You should be able to choose the broker that you are wanting to go live with. Enter your password after choosing that broker and then entering your broker username and password. The widows task schedule has an opton to WAKE THE COMPUTER TO RUN TASK. That works with SLEEP.

How To Buy Stocks

But not from HIBERNATE. Regardless of the above, I still never let my computers sleep or hibernate. I experience periodical no data red bar when I simulate with feeds from IB. Anyone has the same? What do you mean by "red bar"? Is this in reference toward the exchange ticker at the top of the trader? IB usually has good data and it comes directly from IB to the trader so my guess is it is internet related on your end. Most of my traders are Live and the IB feed is the same for both.

You should make sure that the box that popped up is for the is for the symbol that you clicked on. I believe that you should be able to edit your entry price for all of your positions as long as your are clicking on the line with the entry price on it. A small side note, this can only be done in live trading. You cannot edit entry prices in a simulation. Hello Joan, There are a few really good VPS Virtual Private Serveror Cloud, providers out there, it just depends on what you want to spend.

I recently found a new one that I like called "ToggleBox". Just run a google search on it. Here are the minimum requirements I would say to have when setting it up: CPU - 2 cores - 2. If you plan on using the computer or VPS for more than just CoolTrade, I would double those amounts. I have been running in the CT simulator mode working on strategies while waiting for my MB Trading account to get set up.

I get a CT error and it shuts down. When I go back to CT simulator, it works. I had used the version provided by MBT. I know that Parallels works good with MAC. I know of some users that use this software. I start up Parallels and start up my windows virtual machine. Does anyone uses cool trader on the cloud?

I have a Mac and did not have a good experience with parallel. I suggest you send email to TechnicalSupport cool-trade. I have Cooltrade installed on a cloud server, and so it is set to start at 9: When I log in and look at Cooltrade from my own computer, if I exit on my computer by hitting the exit button, does that stop Cooltrader on the cloud server? I want it to run automatically of course, so I want to make sure I am not stopping it by hitting exit on my own computer.

The best way to be sure is to open something on the computer, like a browser window, and then exit the computer. Then log back in and see if the browser window is still open.

If it is, then you know that exiting did not hurt anything. My suggestion is to do this in this order: That will all the download to complete. That should fix your problem. Has anyone ever seen Cool-Trade crash with the following faults: How do you remove a simulated strategy completely? I have changed my strategy in strategy wizard. It shows up in my trader.

There is a way to clear out your old symbols and report information and reset your account balance. Click on the CoolTrade start icon on your desktop and before you login there is a File at the top left. Then click on Refresh for New Strategy. After you login it lets you reset your balance and clears your symbols and reports.

When I am in the strategy wizard and move my cursor over a strategy the wizard ends up loading the strategy wizard ends up loading the strategy above. When I check mark the strategy I want. Cooltrade loads the strategy above the checkmarked strategy. Anybody else have this problem? Your strategy wizard has been corrected. Please log in to verify the correct strategy is selected. You should send email to TechnicalSupport Cool-Trade.

Cool trade was working the day before then when I started it up today it gives me the "Program Terminated" window right after I log in. The info it gives me is the date and nothing else. Thank you for your time! Cool trader support has contacted me really quickly and has solved my problem. Thank you for the advise Hedge2! This was because CT was not sure if the date is October 1st or January 10th. I set the date format to "English United States " and that fixed it. Hope this helps if anyone else has a similar problem.

Does one follow the Windows 8 installation instructions Of course, one should probably ask: I installed it on my Windows 10 machine that same as I installed it on my other Windows machines and it worked perfectly. Download the setup program to your desktop.

Worked perfectly for me. I get the following error: This is the same error I would get in Win7 daily at the bottom of the main screen. The screen would display 1 line of data and be frozen. This would require a daily exit of CT, close the Watchdog, run the regocxfiles. The Windows 10 install is an upgrade on top of a freshly reformatted HD, then Win7 install, then Win I think CT put it in there just to support the IB users. It can be ignored. That will get everything updated to the most recent update.

I had set a system restore point immediately before starting the install. So, falling back to that point, and deleting the CT directory before I started yet again, I followed your instructions and moved the startup file to the desktop, and then ran it as admin. Mind you, I was following the Win8 video install files on the CT site, and they are similar, but not exact.

I did get the tws. This time I did not get a screen with blanked out spaces, but the install did finally let me get to the Strategy Wizard, where I was able to download the developer version. Following the rest of the Win 8 install instructions I was able to set the Task Scheduler, etc. The trader will now start, and run to the "Market Closed" screen, as expected on a Sunday. I am also trying a Win 10 installation after having CT crash repeatedly on my two bit computers running Win 7 and Win 8.

Upgraded the Win 8. It is perfectly stable on my Win 7 bit computer and my XP laptop. I am very keen to know the correct procedure for installing CT and TWS so that CT starts TWS automatically without the second TWS login screen appearing. I have tried every possiible combination, order and variation for installing all with the same result: I have tried the cancel and re-entering password or login on the CT IB login screen in the top left but no luck.

Anyone else having problems on bit machines? I got tired of the TWS issues and moved to autoshares. They also have a very fast datafeed. Win 10 crashed again, after clean install.

Same pattern on the bit computers: Then switch to bit computer and stable.

CT tech has installed CT and TWS a number of times on the bit computers and no luck. Same patter for Win7 bit and Win 8. Keen to know if anyone else has had bit problems but not bit. Next step is I am going to take the Win 10 laptop with clean install disk to their offce and give to techs to setup as they see fit.

Happy to say CT is stable on Windows 10 bit. The problem is Windows Defender. Defender turns itself back on again and so far I have not found out how to disable this auto back on feature. The Defender issue is most likely what made the difference between my bit and bit. I requested exact setup instructions for CT and TWS from CT tech support and they did send me instructions. The Instructions for setting up TWS included quite a few extra steps that I have not seen anywhere else before such as subscribing to particular market data feeds and setting the account to LIFO and a few more.

I suggested that they post those instuctions as a sticky To this thread and the IB TW thread. All appears to be ok so far!!! CT has started correctly every morning since installation, and is trading correctly. So, I disabled one of them in the Task Manager, Startup tab.

I honestly think the programmers could make installations a tad bit easier regardless of which Windows 7, 8, 8. OK, OK, they could make this a LOT easier.

Hope this helps anyone. Running windows 10 since offered for download and everything seems to be running right so far. Just followed the standard windows 7 install and changed where necessary ie search for command if not in menu system.

I had a problem with Cooltrade working correctly and was told by teck that I needed to adjust ADMIN RIGHTS. They sent a link to. You should go back to them and ask them to clarify. Personally, I would follow these steps that have always worked for me: Kradian - Ron here from Tech - I click on the link in your message regarding the how-to for admin rights and it takes me right to the video.

No join fee - nothing but a video to see how to manage the admin permissions. You may have a virus infection if that is not taking you directly to the video. Got an account with AutoShares and assumed I know that they would execute the trades exactly like CT, since they were partnered with CT.

I called them today and they were not doing LIFO My request for CT PLEASE do more training regarding what to ask for and how to get your trading account working correctly. The software is great I watched and listened to all the webinars and videos, and nobody explained why the CT report and the brokerage statement could be so different.

In case no one has explained yet. Here is what is happening. They are just selling at the current price. Then, for tax purposes, they are closing the first lot of stock that you opened, which happens to be the highest priced one. That is good because it will register as a loss on your taxes. Nothing wrong with that. Please note that it all comes out in the wash once the entire position is closed. I find it interesting that the broker logs the closes as FIFO in the first place.

It might indicate that the CoolTrade system is the only system that sells positions profitably via LIFO and the others are systematically selling positions at a loss.

I get CT to start with the scheduler but it hangs by asking me if command prompt can override permissions. I have to click yes to allow it to start. What will fix that? Also, lately when CT starts after manually clicking yes it sometimes terminates Outlook and sometimes Explorer. I suggest you send email to technicalsupport cool-trade.
