Before you can use the tools, you need to define your connections. Currently we support the following connection types:
•BtiFinex - Trade History Only
•Interactive Brokers (TWS)
•IQFeed (Data only)
•MetaTrader 5 (MT5)
•TT's REST API - Trade History Only
If you don't have a brokerage account or data feed right now, no problem, you can request a demo data feed, to learn more click HERE.
Note that from Version 3.0.0.0 onwards, the username and password for connection is optional. You will be prompted for the username/password on connect and they will not be saved (although if you get a disconnect, it will use them to reconnect)
