Click on the Data Download icon (shown above) on the Tool Bar to open the Data Update Internet Download screen. You will notice that the Track ‘n Trade program will close and the data download program (Spot) will open.
Note: When the program closes, all changes are saved on your working charts and will be reopened to the last chart you were working on when finished. It is recommended that you save your book before you do a data download, in case your internet connection freezes and you have to end the program.
Before opening the Data Update Window, Track ‘n Trade will check for product updates. If one is available you will be notified and given a window to choose Yes or No on the update. It is recommended that you install each update as it becomes available. After you are finished with the program update, you will be returned to the data download window.
Click on BEGIN to start the data download. Watch the status bar to see the progress of the data download.
When the download is complete the following window will appear:
Click on OK and then click on DISMISS to exit the Data Download Utility. You will notice that both Status Bars will display DOWNLOAD COMPLETE when finished.
Note: The Data Download Utility (Spot) is able to detect the last date available in your database. Therefore, if you add a commodity or miss a couple of days, your data will be completely updated upon the next data download session.
If you need to end a data download before it is finished with all of the contracts, click on the CANCEL button. This will signal the Data Download Utility to end the download after the current commodity is finished.
Note: Do not press the power or reset buttons if the Data Downloader freezes and you are unable to close the window. If this happens, press the buttons CTRL, ALT, DEL at the same time to open the Tasks Screen (Only press them ONCE). Then Select Gecko-Charts from the window and click on End Task. This will close the Gecko-Charts Program and allow you to restart the program and download utility.
If there is a new patch or update for Gecko-Charts available, a notification will appear asking you to install. You will need to reboot your computer if an update is installed.
