Settings

Configure appearance, startup, notifications and support settings.

Reviewed: Applies to: 1.0.0-preview.1

Appearance

• Color theme: System (follows the light or dark theme of Windows and macOS) or one of the light, dark and high contrast themes.

Theme and language are shared by launchers on this computer. The window and system startup settings for this robot are below.Interface screenshot · XTester 1.0.0-preview.1
  1. Color theme.
  2. Interface language.
  3. Startup and window settings.

• Language: Russian or English, the language of the window, the journal and the notifications.

The theme and the language are shared by all robots. Settings apply at once; there is no Save button here. Search settings is at the top of the page.

Start and window

• Start with the system: this robot's launcher opens with the system, but trading does not start by itself. If the robot was running when the launcher closed, the launcher asks Start the robot again?; LIVE then passes all the checks again.

• Open minimized to the tray: at the start only the tray icon is shown.

• Minimize to the tray when the window closes: if the robot is not running, a closed window hides in the tray. If it runs, the window asks what to do (see Closing the window).

If the computer has no tray or autostart is unavailable, the page says so.

Notifications

Show notifications: system notifications and Telegram messages, if Telegram is connected. The text holds only events and counts, no prices, PnL or file paths.

• Errors: robot errors and a lost connection to it.

• Start, pause and stop.

• Orders and trades: placed and cancelled orders, fills.

• Scheduled pause: when a pause set in advance fires.

• Even while the launcher window is open: otherwise, while the window is on screen, only error notifications come.

Transferring connections

Export… saves the chosen exchange accounts and Telegram into a .xtconnections file encrypted with a password (at least 12 characters). An existing file is never overwritten. Keep the password apart from the file.

Under Moving Connections, export writes an encrypted .xtconnections file; import adds connections from a file of that format.Interface screenshot · XTester 1.0.0-preview.1
  1. Export connections.
  2. Import connections.

Import… opens such a file (2 MB at most) on another computer: enter the password, mark what to add and click Add. Connections are added to the existing ones; if a name is taken, give a new one.

After an import, check the account's keys with Verify before starting the robot.

Support and diagnostics

In Support, you can change telemetry consent. This choice is shared with XTester Studio on this computer and can be revoked here even while Studio is closed. Server telemetry consent is managed separately on its server. Read the lists of included and excluded data beside the switch before enabling it.

Open Settings → Support and scroll to Save diagnostics…. Review the archive before sharing it with support.Interface screenshot · XTester 1.0.0-preview.1
  1. Save the diagnostics archive.

Save Diagnostics… asks where to save a ZIP archive containing versions, robot states and journals, and Launcher logs. The application excludes keys, passwords and tokens. Wait for the saved confirmation; the archive stays on the chosen disk and must be sent to support or attached to a task separately. Cancelling the file dialog does not create an archive.
