3.1. Subscription for the reports of the deals made
Click on the key “Settings” of the main menu when the terminal is connected to the server and select the label “Announcements” (picture 20.1.) . For receiving reports put a mark against the item “Receive reports by e-mail” and enter the address of the e-mail in the window. For unsubscribing – remove the mark.

3.2. Setting of data export from «iTrader».
Export in DDE format
Click on the key “Settings” of the main menu when the terminal is connected to the server and select the label “Export data” (picture 20.2.) Select the way of DDE export, placing the corresponding mark”. Attention: The settings will be changed only after restarting the terminal.
When working with TIMESTAMP settings – you should enter a special data format for this cell, for exmple DD.MM.YYYY, otherwise Excel will try to reflect the data as a number.
Export to technical analysis programs
The trading terminal enables export of data to programs of technical analysis:
1) Export of static information (quotations history) to programs MetaStock and Omega TradeStation.
Example:
In the context menu of charts select the item “Export to…” Metastock (ASCII). The program will offer you to save the data in .txt file, accessible by MetaStock. It only remains to import this file with the help of the program “The Downloader” of MetaStock.
2) On-line export to MetaStock
By default on-line export is switched off. You can switch it on in the menu Connection/Settings/Export data. Place a mark against the item “Export quotes history to MetaStock”. Below you can see the folder where the information will be exported. Files from this folder may be opened by MetaStock without convertation. For exportation of the quotes the chart should be opened in the charts window.
3.3. Setting the connection of “iTrader” through a proxy-server
This setting is necessary for those traders, who work in the Internet not directly but through a proxy-server.
Before making these settings try to connect to the server with default settings.
The window for proxy-server settings appears after pressing the key ‘Settings” with broken connection of the terminal and the server (picture) 21.

1. Connection without a proxy-server
In most cases a user connects to the Internet directly, therefore in the settings you should just enter the settings of the server for connection if it is not given by default.
2. Connection through a proxy-server
Some users connect to the Internet through a local network where all users can get access to the global network only through a proxy-server. The trading terminal has several variants of connection for different types of proxy-server (TCP-channel, Socks, etc.)
2.1. Setting TCP-channel
TCP-channel is the way of connecting through a proxy-server when there is a channel between the proxy-server port and the port of a certain server (the server of the trading platform). In order to make the settings of the trading terminal for this variant of connection you should make two steps:
1) The administrator of your local network should create TCP-channel with the trading server as point of destination (port 8211)
2) In the connection settings as the server IP enter the IP of the proxy-server in your local network and the port, from which TCP-channel is created. In this case the proxy-server will not buffer the programs connection.
Example: the proxy-server has address 192.168.0.254 in the local network.
We create a channel through the port 9999 to the port 8211 of the trading server 193.124.133.128
(So we have a TCP-channel 192.168.0.254:9999 -> 193.124.133.150:8211)
In the settings we enter the proxy-server address - 192.168.0.254 and the port 9999
2.2. Connection through a Socks-server
If a proxy-server supports protocol Socks of 4 or 5 version it is possible to make connection through it.
In this case the address and the port of the server stay the same as for direct connection (without a proxy-server), but it is necessary to enter the version of the proxy-server Socks v4, v4a or v5 (find out from the system administrator), the proxy-server address and the port of Socks-protocol (usually 1080 but may be changes by the system administrator). If authorization is required, put the corresponding mark and enter the login and password information.
2.3. Connection through HTTP-proxy
If your proxy-server supports HTTP-protocol (find out from the system administrator), you may make the settings for this connection. In this case the address and the port of the server remain the same as with direct connection but in proxy parameters select “HTTP”, enter the address of the proxy-server and the port (usually 8080, but may be changed by the administrator). If the proxy-server requires authorization – enter necessary login and password information. The example ma be seen below.
Attention: when setting the connection through a proxy-server we recommend coordinating your actions with the administrator of your local network.
