In the TeleTrader MDS Login dialog, you can change the connection settings that are used to connect TeleTrader WorkStation to the Market Data Server to collect quotes and news, and the proxy settings used to collect fundamental data (company profiles and analyst recommendations) via a web service. We recommend to use the default settings and only change those if you have problems connecting to the TeleTrader servers (see also Connection Problems).
To access the Connection Settings dialog, click Settings in the TeleTrader MDS Login dialog.
Note If the login dialog is not shown on the start of TeleTrader WorkStation, hold the Shift key while starting TeleTrader WorkStation.
These settings control the connection to the Market Data Server. We recommend to always use the default settings.
