#** '''''Connection Settings Tab:'''''<br>Under the '''Authority''' section, enter the '''Login''' and '''Password''' received from the broker. <br>The '''SSL Certificates Path''' will be automatically inputted. <br>Please do not change it unless instructed by the broker.<br>By default, MultiCharts disables auto trading immediately if connection with the execution gateway is lost. <br>However, in some cases, short interruptions can be acceptable because it doesn't affect the strategy. The disconnection may also be a scheduled disconnection by the execution gateway, and the intention is to have auto trading on when the connection is reestablished. <br>The '''Connection Settings''' keeps auto trading on unless the disconnection lasts longer than the time period that specified.<br><br>
#** '''''Order Settings Tab:'''''<br>Enter the Account information.<br>Select the '''Time in Force'''. Time in Force determines the life span of the order before the order is cancelled.<br><br>
#** '''''Symbol Dictionary Tab:'''''<br>If the data source is different from the execution gateway, it is possible that they do not use the same symbol for the same contract. In this situation, the chart, because it is plotted from the data source, will send an order using the data source’s symbol. The execution gateway will not understand the data source's symbol and will reject the signal. Symbol Dictionary solves this problem by matching the symbol from the data source to the symbol from the execution gateway.<br>In the Chart column, input the symbol from the data source. <br>Under the '''Ticker''' and '''Exchange''' columns, input the ticker and exchange in the format acceptable by Rithmic 01.<br><br>
