CheapTrader 0.1.2

Install

• Installer (CheapTrader-0.1.2-setup.exe) or the portable zip (CheapTrader-0.1.2-win64.zip: unzip anywhere, run CheapTrader.exe).
• You need Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). For real prices and trading, install MetaTrader 5, log in to a (demo) account and leave it open: the welcome tour finds it by itself.
• Windows may say "Windows protected your PC" because the program is not signed: click More info, then Run anyway. Compare your download with SHA256SUMS.txt (Get-FileHash <file> -Algorithm SHA256).
• Orders from the app are off until you switch them on in the MetaTrader menu. Trading carries a high risk of losing money: try it on a demo account first.

What is in 0.1.2

• When the MetaTrader window is hidden (the Hide the MetaTrader window switch in the MetaTrader panel) and
  CheapTrader is closed, the terminal is now closed with it. Before, it stayed running with no window and no taskbar
  button, and had to be ended in Task Manager.
• Only a terminal that the program was told to hide is closed. One whose window is on the screen, minimised or not,
  is left as it is.
• The terminal is asked to close the way its own close button asks, and is never forced. If it is still there after
  ten seconds (a dialog may be waiting for an answer in the hidden window), its window is shown again so that you can
  answer it, and the terminal keeps running.
• Anything else running in that terminal, such as an Expert Advisor, stops with it. Show the window before closing
  CheapTrader to keep the terminal open. The switch's text in the MetaTrader panel says so.
