Please download latest revision of PipCastTrader form site. Before using PipCastTrader you need to install .Net framework 2.0 or later form Microsoft. .Net framework is a library for developing windows applications. PipCastTrader needs this library to run. Many applications including Microsoft Office 2003 and later install .Net framework on your computer. So this library may be pre installed on your computer. We recommend: First download PipCastTrader and try to execute .exe file. If it runs, but shows error messages, then you have .Net framework on your system. But if it doesn't run, then you need to download .Net framework from one of these address: for 32 bit windows (most of us use this windows): .Net framework Ver 2.0 ServicePack 1 http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/details.aspx?familyid=79BC3B77-E02C-4AD3-AACF-A7633F706BA5&displaylang=en.Net framework Ver 3.5 (Newest but large download size) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ab99342f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7&displaylang=enfor 64 bit windows: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=98e83614-c30a-4b75-9e05-0a9c3fbdd20d&displaylang=en Important note: Using latest version of .net Framework (currently 3.5 with SP 1)is recommended. To find out current version installed on your machine please follow this link. Very important note for Windows Vista users:Please read this link for tuning your Windows Vista

Inside of .zip file, there are two files: .ex4 and .exe
.ex4 is an expert advisor and is installed on a chart in your MetaTrader.
.exe communicates with site.

Copy PipCastTrader.exe to MetaTrader\Experts\files directory. After running expert advisor, wait for a few seconds and then run exe file.
Wait afew seconds to see "Operation Successful" message. Click Hide and let programs minimize system clock continue its work in background. You can open it at any time by double clicking it's icon.
If an error occures, message is shown in exe part. In case of errors, most probably you must close both MetaTrader and exe file and after fixing problem open both again.

You must install .ex4 file only on one chart and execute .exe file only once.

When shall my computer be turned on and connected tgo internet?
Depends on your trading style; whenever any thing changes within your MetaTrader account, PipCastTrader must ber present and connected to internet.
If you command instantly, at the time of trading you must have PipCastTrader working besides you. This is no problem. Aslo if you are using Expert Adivsor, then you must always be connected to internet; At the same time you need PipCastTrader to work and again no problem.
If you want to put pending orders or want to leave your trade to hit SL or TP, your PipCastTrader must be connected to internet until the trade is closed. Server of PipCastTrader may take care of TP/SL for some symbols but you shouldn't count on that.
Generally we recommend keeping your computer online all the time.
Please also consider that when you turn the computer off, next time, expert advisor will start automatically when you open MetaTrader, but you need to run .exe part manually or add it to Windows StartUp.
