✅ By default, the bot is configured to interact with
Tradovate - Default Layout
This is the most commonly used layout and works out-of-the-box for most users.
Use the “Show Window Names” button to list all currently open windows.
From the dropdown, select the exact window name that matches your trading app (e.g., ThinkOrSwim
, E*TRADE
, etc.).
Then click “Save Config” to lock it in.
📌 This is essential when using any application other than Tradovate.
This defines the delay (in milliseconds) between simulated mouse/keyboard actions.
Use Case: If the default contract size in your platform is 1, but you want to simulate multiple orders (e.g., 2 or 3), then:
The bot will send multiple inputs.
Setting a small delay (e.g., 150ms
) allows the system to handle multiple requests without error.
If the bot fails to identify or focus the window properly, increase this value slightly (e.g., to 250
or 300
).
Useful in slower VPS environments or if multiple resource-heavy apps are running.
🔵 Normally, the default
150ms
is sufficient. Only adjust this if you face misclick or focus issues.
⚠️ Use this only if nothing else works or you're experimenting with an unsupported application.
When checked, the bot will skip automatic window identification completely.
You must:
Manually click inside the trading application window before running any commands.
Keep your RDP session active and open — you cannot close or disconnect, or the focus will be lost and automation will fail.
🚫 This disables all smart detection features and is not recommended for regular use.
✔️ Use Show Window Names → Save Config when changing platforms.
✔️ Adjust Delay Between Requests for multi-order input.
✔️ Only change Window Identification Delay if there are targeting issues.
❗ Use Skip Window Identification only if all else fails — and never disconnect RDP in this mode.
