Window Settings Panel

🖥️ Default Application

✅ 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.

🔍 Show Window Names

• 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.

⏱️ Delay Between Requests (ms)

• 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.

🧠 Window Identification Delay (ms)

• 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.

🚨 Skip Window Identification (⚠️ Last Resort)

⚠️ 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.

✅ Best Practices Summary

• ✔️ 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.
