How Do I Get A TradeItself Rules File For Our Signals?
(top)
Option 1. If you are already a
subscriber to TradeItself you can
just use the "export" button on the
rulesets page to create your own
rules file. The export button will
export all the rules you currently
have setup in TradeItself to an
external file which your users can
download from your website and import.
Option 2. We will generate a
rules file for you for free (subject
to the feasibility of your
requirement). We will need to know
the precise content of your emails
and the corresponding
trading instructions and
currencies. Contact
us at
support@tradeitself.com giving
details of your company and website
and your signal email details. The
accuracy of the information you send
us is paramount to correct trading,
so please double check the details
before sending to us.
Disclaimer:
You
must carefully check any "rules
file" we send you, by importing
it into TradeItself 2006, and
confirming it is consistent with
the emails you send and the
trading instructions relating to
those emails you send. You are
responsible for the contents of
this file. Full details of
working with rules are explained
here.
Choosing
a name for your rules file: We
recommend that you choose a name for
your rules file that reflects your
business and that is unlikely to be
confused with other signal provider
rules file. eg.
YourCompanyNameTradeItselfRules.xml
Very Important Notes For Downloading
Rules Files
(top)
1.
All rules files have the file
extension .xml. The problem is that
most browsers recognise this as a
file to display and so if the user
clicks your download link, rather
than downloading the rules file, the
rules file will be displayed in your
client's browser.
2. To
get round this problem you must
instruct your client to right mouse
click your link and select "Save
Target As..." on the menu which
appears after the right mouse click.
This way your clients will download
the file rather than open it in
their browser.
3. We
also strongly recommend that you
include the
target="_blank"
attribute in your download link
html. If your client accidentally
clicks your download link instead of
right mouse clicking, the rules file
will be opened in another browser
rather than the current one. This
makes it easier for the client to
close the newly opened browser
displaying the rules file and return
to your web page. Sample html code
is shown below for your web
programmer.
Sample HTML:
|
1.
To download the [your
company name] rules file
please <a target="_blank"
title="Right Mouse Click To
Download Rules File" href="http://[your
web site]/[your company
name].xml">right mouse click
here</a> and then select
"Save Target As...". Note: If
you accidentally click
rather than using your right
mouse button you may open
the rules file in your
browser. This is not a
problem, just close the
browser and try again using
your right mouse button. |

ensures that they are reading and
interpreting your emails correctly.
