TeleTrader WorkStation RTD is started automatically when needed, for example when opening an Excel spreadsheet containing RTD links. You can also manually start the RTD connection, if necessary.
You can see if the RTD connection is active in your Windows system tray:
The RTD connection stays active even if you close TeleTrader WorkStation or the spreadsheet that contains the RTD links. You can stop the connection manually if you don’t need it anymore.
▪ Click on the Windows Start button, and then select All Programs > TeleTrader RTD Server > TeleTrader RTD Server.
▪ Click on the Windows Start button, and then select All Programs > TeleTrader WorkStation RTD Server > TeleTrader WorkStation RTD Server.
▪ If you are using the RTD connection without an active installation of TeleTrader WorkStation, you will be asked to log in with your user name and password.
▪ Select the Save check box so you don't have to enter your user name and password again the next time you log in.
▪ Select Always show login dialog if you want to display the login dialog on every start of TeleTrader WorkStation RTD.
