The Options Menu

The Options Menu is where all the configurations of your Client can be found. This Menu will allow you to set up the Client Layout, Hotkeys, Notification sounds, Colour Scheme and other aspects of the Client just the way you want.

The Options Menu is broken up into the following tree structure

The Options structure

• Appearance:
  • Colors — this sub-menu allows the user to customize the color of almost any element displayed on the Chart Window where most of the user’s trading is taking place
    • Split — settings relating to splitting orders (right-clicking on the TP/SL line). Allows the user to set the number of orders into which the order will split, the distance between the newly split orders
• Orders:
  • TP/SL — this sub-menu allows the user to set the default values for both Take Profit and Stop Loss including the default distance (Percentage), Order type etc. You can also set your Take Profit to be displayed as an Iceberg order by default.

• Order Specifications:
  • Order move type — these settings allow the user to enable or disable the parallel movement of buy/sell orders and buy/sell take profit orders.

Creating Your MoonTrader License

1. Creating Your MoonTrader License
2. Locate the License Button on the top right corner of the screen
3. Find and click on the Register button in License Manager
4. Register your account, then click the confirmation link you will shortly receive via email. Make sure you check the Spam folder as well!
5. Once there, you should be able to see your Licences in the Licenses Menu, if you have none, you will be able to create it by clicking on Create Trial or Purchase License
6. After clicking on either line, which denotes your existing licences, the row will expand for you to see the following parameters — Activation Code, Core Token. You will need these to launch your copy of the application

On this screen, the user will use the Activation Code obtained from the License Manager on the MoonTrader website. The other two fields are: Public API key and Private API key, which the user must get from the Exchange’s website.

The Client Token will be automatically generated by the system once you activate the License, all you need to do is next is paste the Core Token that can also be found in the License Manager on the MoonTrader website.

In our example, when running the Core and Client locally, the remaining values and fields of the “Client options” box may remain unchanged (make sure that the Client token is identical in both the Core options and the Client options, the system will automatically insert the same value in both fields after the License is activated above).

Running the Core on a remote Linux VPS
