CheapTrader 0.2.2

Install

• Installer (CheapTrader-0.2.2-setup.exe) or the portable zip (CheapTrader-0.2.2-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 0.2.2

• Ending CheapTrader in Task Manager no longer leaves its window behind. End task on CheapTrader ended the program
  but not its window, which went on showing the last chart with nothing behind it; reloading it gave 127.0.0.1
  refused the connection. The windows are now tied to the program (a Windows job object): when the program ends,
  however it ends, the system ends them with it. To make that hold for every window, the running program opens
  them itself, also the second one when CheapTrader is opened again while it runs. Ending only the window (Task
  Manager, or Task beenden in the taskbar menu) was already fine: the program follows a few seconds later, and
  opening it again right away works.
• Opening CheapTrader by hand while an update installs no longer breaks the update. The installer cannot replace a
  program that is running. A start by hand during the few seconds it takes made it give up (exit code 5): the old
  version came back and nothing was updated. A start now waits until the installer is done, and when the program is
  open again there is one window, not two or three. The script that installs an update comes from the version that is
  being replaced, so this starts to help with the update after the one that installs 0.2.2.
• The window no longer offers to translate the page (Edge asked on a PC whose language is not English).
• After a window was ended by force, Edge no longer asks in the window whether to restore pages.
