This lesson shows you how to connect Trade-Ideas software with direct trading software. This lesson only refers to the new direct trading software shown on the left side of your screen. If you use Redi, we also support that but that is covered in a different lesson. The integration is simple. Once you do one simple set up, you can click on a symbol and Trade-Ideas and it will appear on one or more of the windows from Direct Trading. This way, as data comes in, as you see interesting alerts, you can instantly see this on a chart, a Level 2 or an execution bin. To link Trade-Ideas with direct trading, there is a one-time set up required. Start with the Trade-Ideas home page. Go to advanced features. Make sure you are logged in. If you are not logged in, log in now. Then select link destination. You have several choices. You want to find the one that says direct trading. Make sure that it is selected. You have several options. You can link to any one of these windows. You can link to the first one you created, the last one you created or all of them. And, you can use the grouping feature that is built into direct trading. So, you only have to link to one window. Change both. That's what we did in this demonstration. We linked to the Level 2 and then the Level 2 was linked to the chart. One more detail before we end this lesson. You may see another window on your screen. This is the status window. It usually hides in the back behind the other windows. You can ignore it. As long as it says success, everything is okay.
