Create User Key

To gain full functionality you have to create a User Key that you have to send to us helping us identifying registered customers. Once you have created a User Key you normally do not have to change it. If you reinstall your computer you have to create a User Key again. If you use the same first and second name when creating your User Key Optimal Trader will gain full functionality again.

  1. Start Optimal Trader and click Create User Key. If you already have created a User Key before, the function is found under Options/User Key.
  2. Fill in your first and second name and click Create Key.
  3. Fill in your customer number and click Send Key to send the User Key to us.
  4. Click Close.

Notice that you do not need to send us your User Key if you are re-installing your computer or re-installing Optimal Trader. You only have to send us the User Key again if you are installing Optimal Trader to a new computer.

 

Activating Optimal Trader

After Optimal Trader has been activated the program will gain full functionality. Optimal Trader will be activated when we have received your User Key and registered you payment.

You will now have access to the complete Indices list under the Equity drop-down list and your copy of the software will be activated. You may have to update other lists as well if you have downloaded equities from them in your trial period before.

 

Updating Optimal Trader

  1. Download the latest version of Optimal Trader here. You can control the version of your copy under Options / About Optimal Trader.
  2. Install the software following the instructions of the installation program. You do not have to uninstall the old version! If you want to keep downloaded equities and settings you must install into the same folder where your old installation rested.
  3. Start Optimal Trader. Finished!

 

If you have problems activating Optimal Trader it may be because you are using a different computer or have changed your name information when you created your User Key. In that case, send us your new User Key to for activation. Notice that the old User Key will be de-activated.
