7tra.de account: signing in from the bot
After this article you will know how to link the bot to your account on the 7tra.de site, what signing in gives you and how the bot behaves if you open it in two browsers. Plans and payment are covered separately, in the article about plans.
Why sign in
The bot works in your browser, and the account lives on the site. Signing in links the two:
- plan — the bot learns what is available to you;
- settings — strategies, templates, own patterns and indicator settings are saved in the account. You can move them to another browser and restore an earlier version in the dashboard;
- dashboard — the site shows in which browsers and on which accounts the bot works;
- notifications — 7tra.de news and reminders about the end of Pro and the trial arrive right in the bot;
- language model keys — entered in the dashboard; the bot gets them by itself.
Without signing in the bot works only with indicator templates. It sends nothing to the platform on its own: the platform works the same as without the bot. If you press Sign out while the bot is finishing a series of trades, it finishes the series first and then reloads the tab.
How to sign in
The first item in the bot's top bar is "Sign in".
- Press "Sign in". The "7tra.de account" window opens.
- Press "Sign in or sign up". An eight-character code appears in the window, and a new site tab opens in the browser.
- On the site, sign in to your account. No account yet — press "Create an account" under the sign-in form, fill in the sign-up form and open the email with the link in this same browser. After you confirm your email, the site takes you back to the code.
- The site shows the "Connecting a browser" page with a code. Compare it with the code in the bot window.
- The codes match — press "Connect browser".
- Go back to the platform tab. In a few seconds the window shows "Browser connected.", and the "Sign in" item is replaced by the plan name.
The code is valid for a few minutes; the time is shown in the window. Did not make it — press "Sign in or sign up" again, and a new code appears.
Confirm the connection only if you have just pressed "Sign in or sign up" yourself and the code matches. A connected browser gets your plan and your settings.
The "7tra.de account" window
After signing in, the first item of the top bar shows the plan: Pro, Trial or Free. Press it to open the account window.
In the window:
- "Browser: …" — what this browser is called in the dashboard;
- the plan and the date it is valid until;
- "Checked: …" — when the bot last checked with the site. It does this by itself every few minutes;
- a line about settings in the account — whether they are saved and when;
- "Without a connection to the site the plan holds until …" — if the site is unavailable, the bot works on the last plan it received until this date.
Buttons:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Refresh from account | Fetches the plan, model keys and settings from the site right away, without waiting for the scheduled check. It also brings the bot back to this browser if it was working in another one. |
| Dashboard | Opens the dashboard on the site. |
| Sign out | Disconnects the browser from the account. A window opens first and says what happens after you sign out. Press Sign out in that window to confirm, or Cancel if you changed your mind. |
One browser per account
Under one account the bot works in one browser only: the one where you last signed in or pressed "Refresh from account".
Why. Two bots on one trading account see the same trades, and each adds martingale top-ups to the other's trades. The ladder stakes double, and you can only notice it by the balance.
What happens in the previous browser:
- the "Session ended" window appears;
- the platform connection in this tab is closed — neither the bot nor the platform itself works there;
- trades that are already open settle on the platform's server, and no new martingale steps open there;
- the first item of the top bar reads "In another browser".
To bring the bot back here, press "Work here" in the "Session ended" window or "Refresh from account" in the account window. Then the session ends in the other browser instead.
If the same PocketOption account is open in two tabs of one browser, the bot works only in one of them — the one opened first. In the second tab it does nothing, the platform works as usual there, and the bot shows the "The bot runs in another tab" window. The Work here button moves the bot to this tab. In the previous tab it first finishes the series of trades it started, then stops.
Settings in the account
The bot saves settings to the account by itself after every change: strategies, templates, own patterns, indicator, martingale and language model settings. The trading lock, the running strategy and model keys are not included.
If the settings of this browser and of the account differ (for example, you changed them in another browser), the bot shows the "Settings in the account differ" window with the question "Replace this browser's settings with the settings from the account?":
- "Yes" — the tab reloads with the account settings;
- "No" — this browser's settings are saved to the account, and the previous ones stay in the dashboard history.
Trading, the running strategy and martingale chains do not change in either case.
Notifications
Next to the plan in the top bar there is a bell. The number on it is how many notifications you have not read yet. Press it to open the "7tra.de notifications" window: site news and reminders that Pro or the trial is about to end.
The dashboard on the site
The dashboard opens with the "Dashboard" button in the account window. Sections:
| Section | What is there |
|---|---|
| Overview | The essentials on one screen. |
| Subscription | Plan, period, payment and payment history. |
| Browsers | Where the bot is signed in, when it was online, which extension version. The "Disconnect" button removes a browser from the account — the bot there signs out at once, no page reload needed. Below — the PocketOption accounts the bot has seen, demo and real separately. |
| Bot settings | Saved versions of settings: open, download as a file, restore. |
| Strategies | Codes you used to share strategies. |
| Sessions | The totals of the "Statistics" tab for each session and an export to a table. |
| Model keys | Language model keys for the "AI" window. |
| Profile | Name, email, password, two-factor protection, account deletion. |
What signing in does not do
- It does not let the site trade. Trades are opened only by the bot in your browser, by your rules.
- It does not send your PocketOption password or balance to the site. The site only knows the numbers of the accounts the bot works on and their type: demo or real.
- It does not replace the trading lock. You still need to remove the lock and press "Start" in the bot itself.
Frequently asked questions
I pressed "Connect browser", but the bot still says "Sign in". Wait a few seconds: the bot asks the site in a loop. Did not help — open the account window and press "Sign in or sign up" again.
The window says the extension is out of date. The site no longer works with this extension version. Press "How to update" and install the new version. Until then the last received plan holds, and settings from the account are not refreshed.
The bot says "Session ended", and I did nothing. It means someone signed in to this account in another browser or pressed "Refresh from account" there. If it was not you, change the password in the dashboard and disconnect the extra browser in the "Browsers" section.
How do I move settings to another computer? Sign in to the account from the bot on the new computer. The bot sees that the settings differ and asks whether to replace them. Answer "Yes".
I signed out — will my settings be lost? No. In the browser they stay as they were, and the account keeps the last saved version.
Can I edit a downloaded settings file? No. The file is a backup: the settings in it are encrypted, and the dashboard does not accept a file changed after it was downloaded. Change settings in the bot's windows — the bot saves them to the account by itself. The file can also be uploaded to another account.
