Hi, its start checking for new versions and stops there? what to do?
Hi, try starting the application from "run Fast Trade.bat"
If you get an error message starting with "java.net.UnknownHostException: www.entropiaforum.com" it means that the application can not reach entropiaforum.com
It could be a problem with your internet, or firewall.
Is this tool still operational??
it gives this
"fast_trade_save.txt" is the save file for Fast Trade. The first time you open the application it will not be there, so it's normal to get that error (you also get a prompt telling you that the file is missing, you just click OK). When you close the application the file will be created in the fast trade folder, and you won't get that error anymore.
If that file is not created after you close the application, it probably means the application doesn't have permission to write in that folder, try moving it to another location.
EDIT: it seems like it was just an update. EF is back up, and so is FT.
Got back into trading after a hiatus of a year and Fast Trade doesn't seem to work for me anymore. I get the "can't find first line" -error.
The trade window is in focus and in list mode. So I'm at a loss what causes the error.
If in fact the trade window is in focus and in list mode, the only other thing I can think of is that you might have a weird screen ratio where the image is "distorted".
Try different resolutions and see if it works. I can take a look at it if you want, just email me screenshots in PNG or BMP format.
I use first trade on my main computer and a 24 inch screen, window mode and it works perfectly.
Recently I acquired a new 15 inch laptop and I installed fast trade there as well. Now it can perfectly well find the trade window. Bit it can;t find the first line. I use window mode 1600x900, is it too small the window to recognize? I also tried full screen in windowed mode and the same error occured
Make sure windows is using the native resolution of your screen.
If that doesn't work. I can take a look at if you want, just email me screenshots in PNG format.
what do you exactly mean with native resolution? English isnt my first language sorry, thank you for your help
Look at your laptop specs online, it will say your screen resolution. That's your native resolution and that's what you should set in your windows display settings.
This will help you understand why you should use native resolution: http://www.lonestardigital.com/native_resolution.htm
it is alowed by MA as 3rd party software ? if is not you can get locked or banned, so this will be an important info.
