Thread: Trading Station II Auto Login

Trading Station II Auto Login

Have you ever wanted the Trading Station II platform to automatically memorize your login information? The simple steps below allow you to create an icon that will automatically log you into your account! This works for both Demo and Live accounts alike.

Step 1. Open the "Notepad" program on your computer. You can navigate to it through the "Start" menu on the bottom left hand corner.

Step 2. Type the following script into notepad exactly as it appears below:

C:
cd "C:\Program Files\CandleWorks\FXTS2"
start FXTSpp UserName:username Password:password Profile:Demo/Real

Note: The information you input is case sensitive. The following image will show you exactly what it should look like. For the purposes of this example I will use an FXCM LLC (US) demo account:

Step 3. Save the file to your desktop. It should appear as a .txt file.

Step 4. Find the icon for your .txt file on your desktop. Right click on this icon and select "Rename." Rename the icon from .txt to .bat

Step 5. Double click on the .bat file to automatically login to your account!

Please keep in mind that anyone that uses the computer that you save the .bat file on also has the capacity to automatically log in to your account. Only use this feature on a private computer that only you have access too.

Log-in information is extremely sensitive and should never be shared with anyone. If you have already shared your information with a third party we strongly recommend you to change the password upon your next log-in into the Trading Station II.


How can I change my password?

You may change your password using the interface provided on the Trading Station II platform by clicking on "System" on the top left hand corner of the platform and then "Change Password".

FXCM recommends that you change your password often for security purposes.

For for more information on how to change and effectively safeguard your password, please visit our informational site by clicking here and select "Information about protecting your password".

I have forgotten my password, what can I do?

If you have forgotten your password then the easiest solution is to reset your password.

You can reset your password online by visiting MyFXCM.com and clicking on "Forgot Password". A temporary password will be sent to you by email and can be changed after you login. For a visual guide to resetting your password online, click here.

Hi!

All strartegies can work 24 hours only if your are logged in the TS. If you exit the Trading Station or switch off your PC, all strategies will stop working. Generally, after exiting TS no one instrument will work, except Stop/Limit.

Note: there are non-trading hours during the weekends, when all trading functionality is not available. During this period strategies are not working either. Please, read more about trading hours here (Weekend Trading Execution FAQ).

Best regards
Ekaterina

Hello 00808060, and thank you for you post! I wanted to give you a little bit more information that you might find helpful.


How can I save my active strategies on the platform so that when I log out and log back in they are still there?

Just as Ekaterina mentioned, in order for a strategy to remain active on the platform you must be logged in. Once you log out the platform will automatically keep and pause any strategies you had running when you log out. When you log in again by default the platform will ask you if you would like to reactivate any strategies you were running before you logged out.

To change or modify the way that the platform starts your strategies again when you log in simply click on "System" on the top left hand corner of the Trading Station platform and then click "Options".

From there scroll down and left click on "Strategies Options" in the Markescope 2.0 section. You will see the options available for this to the right. Choose your options accordingly, click "Apply" and then "OK".

I need to be logged in so that my strategies continue running. What if my computer crashes or if I need to turn my computer off? How can I continue to have my strategies running if that is the case?

Running Trading Station through a Virtual Private Server (VPS) service can significantly improve your connectivity to our servers and allow your strategies to continue running even if you turn your computer off.


What is a VPS?

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) allows you to log onto a separate server on your desktop that is solely devoted to your Trading Station account. VPS is like a mini computer system within your own computer and has its own hard disk space and RAM.


What are the advantages of using a VPS?

• Your trades will still execute even if your computer is shut off or your computer crashes.
• You can turn your computer off and your strategies will continue to trade.
• You are protected from potential power outages that can affect your computer.
• Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) cannot slow down your execution speed.
• You can log in to the Trading Station platform from any computer in the world, even if the platform is not installed.

How can I start benefiting from utilizing a VPS service?

If you choose to run Trading Station on a VPS, FXCM recommends FXColo.com a third party VPS software provider. Please click here for more information regarding the specifications (memory size, disk space, OS) for each of the packages offered by FXColo.

You can log in to the FXColo VPS using any operation system. The operating system that you will be working with from the FXColo VPS once you are logged in will be Windows 7 Pro.


Do you have other Trading Station questions?

Many traders find that a 5-10 minute introduction to the features of the Trading Station platform saves them time and allows them to get fast answers. I’d like to invite you to the Live Trading Station Walkthrough to learn more about our platform and charts. One of our specialists conduct a live demonstration followed by a question and answer period.

Please click on the link below that corresponds to what type of account you have to attend any of the live sessions:
