Can I run ZLT on multiple computers, for example, my desktop and laptop?
Where will my orders be held, my local computer, broker server or exchange
server?
Is ZeroLine Trader available for Mac OS, Linux,
Palm OS, Pocket PC...?
Why is the software
named ZeroLine Trader?
The name ZeroLine Trader is from the nick name "ZL Trader"
that the developer uses when learning and trading in
WoodiesCCIClub
chat room. The developer chooses the nick name to remind himself to take
only trades triggered by the with trend ZLR CCI pattern.
Three ZLR CCI patterns are marked in the following chart of YM 2006 March
contract on December 9, 2005.
The ZLT license is per machine based. Before we can generate and email you the license, we need the file HardwareID.txt. There are detail instructions at www.zerolinetrader.com/subscribed on how to find the file.
To renew the ZLT license, just make the subscription payment and email the file HardwareID.txt as usual. We keep record of your subscription information. Your license will be extended based on your license expiration date or the payment date, whichever is later. So please renew the license several days earlier than the expiration date to avoid the interruption of your usage of the software.
Yes. With one subscription, you can have multiple ZLT licenses to run ZLT on multiple computers, but we require the same Windows user names on different computers. When you subscribe, just follow the instructions to email us the multiple HardwareID.txt files from different computers. The HardwareID.txt file contains your Windows user name and the hardware ID string.
Or you can always buy additional subscriptions.
Or you can easily create new user accounts to have the same user name. To create new user name on XP, click Start->Control Panel. Then select User Accounts.
Note: Renaming an existing user account does NOT work for this purpose. Please create new user accounts.
In Data->Instruments ..., make sure the instrument is connected. If not, just right click on the instrument line and select Connect.
No, you don't. Just use the latest TWS from IB. The API is built in with ZLT Live or ZLT Sim. Our experience is the ZLT Live and ZLT Sim usually work with TWS with newer API. It really depends on the nature of the API changes. However, to be on the safe side, we will always promptly build and deliver the softwares built with the latest API.
The order can be held at three different places: exchange server, IB server, or your computer.
It depends on the order type and the exchange.
For ZLT, any order type starting with 'Z', such as ZSTP, ZSTPLMT, and RATIO_LMT/RAITO_MKT are held on your local computer.
All the other order types are either at IB server or exchange server. You can find more information on IB's web site.
Here is an example of GLOBEX:

It shows STPLMT and LMT orders to GLOBEX are held on the exchange server. But STP order to GLOBEX are held on IB Server.
Assume, SimTrader is installed at C:/Program Files/ZeroLine SimTrader ZLT Live is installed at C:/Program Files/ZeroLine Trader.
1) Delete or rename the "user" directory under the ZLT Live folder. For example, rename C:/Program Files/ZeroLine Trader/user to C:/Program Files/ZeroLine Trader/user_old.
2) Copy the "user" directory under the SimTrader folder and paste it to the ZLT Live folder.
3) Run ZLT Live.
ZLT matches the stop loss and profit target orders with proper order quantity and OCA (One Cancel All) strings. So the stop loss and profit target orders will cancel each other through the OCA strings once one of them is filled. The OCA mechanism works even when your Internet connection is lost.
ZeroLine Trader is available for Windows XP and Vista; Mac OS and Linux (Ubuntu).
Yes. ZeroLine Trader is a multi-threaded software which handles multiple tasks simultaneously and it will take advantage of those technologies.
