For EtaTrader/KiteXL/AmiBroker Users
Download EtaTrader from https://howutrade.in/downloads as per your Broker. Extract the downloaded zip file to a Folder.
Right Click on the EtaTrader Setup file and select ‘Run As Administrator‘ and follow the instructions.
Once installed, you can start using EtaTrader. If this is your first installation, then do necessary initial settings like API key etc. If you get any error in Excel/VBA, refer this link https://howutrade.in/2020/02/17/vba-compile-error-update/
For Developers/Custom Application
Follow the above steps to install EtaTrader, as this registers COM dll, so that you can place orders from AmiBroker/Excel or Any COM application. If you don’t use AmiBroker/Excel, then you don’t need to install EtaTrader.
In the extracted zip file, look for ‘Developers‘ folder, and copy all the files (.dll and .exe) to your custom application folder.
In your project/solution, add reference to all the files you copied except the below
- chromedriver.exe
- AmiTools.dll
- ExcelTools.dll
Rebuild your solution. That’s it!
