To launch a bot, you need to add an account to the Algo server and upload a package with a bot, which should be launched.
To add a package, select Upload Package command from the Explorer > Algo Server context menu. Then, select the Add Bot Instance command and click Upload Package.

1. After the Algo Server installation is completed, AlgoServer Configurator should start (if the corresponding checkbox is selected on the last installation page).

   

   Otherwise, run TickTrader Win terminal. Select Help > Algo Server Configurator in the terminal menu.
   

   
   
   

2.  In Algo Server Configurator there are 3 types of logins:

   • Admin. A user will have the full rights to modify Algo Server state. Available both in a browser and Algo terminal.
   • Viewer. A user will have a read-only access to the Also Server state. A viewer can download logs and see packages, accounts, logs, bots, statuses; but cannot see Algo data and downloaded packages. Available only in Algo Terminal.
     
   • Dealer. A user will have the same access as a Viewer but can start and stop bots. Available only in Algo Terminal.

3. Start Server clicking the 'arrow' button.
   The TT Algo Server is stopped, the connection indicator is red (before the Server starts).
   

   

4. Once the Server starts, the status will change to 'Running'; the connection indicator is green.
   

   

5. Check that a connection to the Algo Server has been added in the Explorer > Algo Server window of the terminal.
   If there is no connection, please add it:

   • In the TickTrader Desktop Terminal go to the Explorer > Algo Servers tab.
   • Right-click Algo Servers and select the Add Algo Server Connection command from the context menu.

     • Server Address: Address of the server where the Algo Server service machine is installed.
       If the Algo server is installed on the same computer as the win terminal, then enter localhost in the 'Server Address' field.
     • Port, Login, Password: Fill in the parameters as they were set in the AlgoServer Configurator window.
       
       
       
       
   • If the correct data has been entered, a connection to the Algo Server will occur (the color indicator will be green).
