I am unable to connect to Track 'n Trade, but my internet is turned on and working

The most common cause of a failed connection to Track 'n Trade is due to a personal firewall or anti-virus software. Please ensure that Track 'n Trade is on the allow list of your personal firewall software. Depending on your anti-virus application, you may also lose your connection due to an actively running virus scan of your computer. Some anti-virus applications have been known to close the ports used by Track 'n Trade during an active scan.

Track 'n Trade High Finance Stocks connects to Gecko Software, Inc. servers using a proprietary protocol that is not currently proxy or socks enabled. This is usually only an issue in a restricted environment that enforces proxy or socks use instead of using network address translation or publicly routable ip addresses, like a larger corporate network. To make an exception for Track 'n Trade High Finance Stocks, please allow traffic to: data-hf.geckosoftware.com port 60192

I stopped receiving streaming data updates

1) The most common cause of a lost Track 'n Trade connection is due to personal firewall or anti-virus software. If you repeatedly lose streaming data connections, check that your personal firewall is not running a system scan or a definitions update. It is very common for these programs to lock/freeze your ports while running an update or system scan. These may need to be deactivated or removed to prevent this problem from occurring. If this only occurs while running a scan, you may need to place Track 'n Trade into the firewall's allow/exception list.

2) The second most common cause of a lost connection is due to the use of a wireless internet connection. For this reason, all Track 'n Trade clients are recommended to use a direct cable connection to the modem/router whenever possible. Streaming market data can be very taxing on a system and requires a stable and constant internet connection. If you work with a wireless network, try a direct cable connection and see if the problem abates.

3) Another very common culprit to lost connection is the Sleep/Hibernation mode of your PC. When an installation of Windows goes to Sleep, it is not uncommon for network connections and even hard drives to turn off. If you return to work with TNT after an extended delay and you must bring the computer out of a sleep/hibernation mode, check that your data is up-to-date. If after opening from hibernation you find that your data has stopped updating. Close and reopen TNT to reconnect to the brokers server. If the problem continues, disable your Windows Sleep/Hibernation from Display Settings in your Windows Control Panel.
