The bot on a platform mirror
This article shows how to turn the bot on when the platform opens for you not at its main address but on a mirror. It also covers how to turn the bot off on a mirror and where to see all allowed addresses. How to use the bot itself is covered in the introduction.
What a mirror is
The platform's main address is pocketoption.com. In some countries it does not open, and the platform works through other addresses. They are called mirrors. The trading room on a mirror is the same: the same account, the same trades, only a different address in the browser bar. Mirrors change from time to time.
On pocketoption.com the bot works right after installation. On a mirror it does not appear until you allow that address yourself. This is on purpose: the extension does not get access to every site, only to the addresses you named.
The extension window
The extension has a small window. To open it, click the puzzle icon to the right of the browser address bar and choose 7trade. It is handy to pin the icon to the toolbar: click the pin next to 7trade in the same list.
What the window says depends on the tab you opened it on:
| Where you are | What the window shows |
|---|---|
| pocketoption.com, the bot is running | "7trade is active on this site." |
| A mirror you have not allowed yet | "This is a platform mirror. Grant access and the bot will run here." and the "Enable 7trade on …" button with the mirror address |
| An allowed mirror, the bot is running | "7trade is active on this site." and the "Disable here" button |
| An allowed mirror or pocketoption.com, a page without a chart is open | "Open the platform chart page." |
| An allowed mirror or pocketoption.com, the tab was opened before the bot was turned on | "Access is granted, but the bot is not running on this tab." and the "Reload the tab" button |
| Any other site | "Open the platform chart page." |
Below there may also be the "Allow known platform addresses" button. See "All known mirrors at once".
How to turn the bot on on a mirror
- Open the mirror and enter the trading room: you need the page with the chart.
- Open the extension window: puzzle → 7trade.
- Click "Enable 7trade on …".
- The browser asks whether to allow the extension access to this address. Click "Allow".
- The tab reloads by itself, and the bot items appear in the platform's top bar.
The permission is remembered. After a browser restart the bot appears on this mirror by itself, there is no need to click the button again.
How to turn the bot off on a mirror
- Open the mirror.
- Open the extension window: puzzle → 7trade.
- Click "Disable here".
The tab reloads without the bot. The extension loses access to this address. You can turn the bot on again with the same "Enable 7trade on …" button.
On pocketoption.com there is no "Disable here" button: it is the platform's main address, and the bot always works there.
All known mirrors at once
We keep a list of known platform mirrors, and the bot gets it from the 7tra.de website. If the list has addresses you have not allowed yet, the extension window shows the "Allow known platform addresses" button.
Click it, and the browser asks once for permission for all these addresses. After that the bot works on any of them without a separate button. It is convenient to allow them in advance, while the main address still opens.
All addresses on the options page
The full list of allowed mirrors is on the extension's options page. To open it, right-click the 7trade icon and choose "Options".
In the "Platform addresses" block:
- allowed mirrors — each with a "Disable here" button. This way you can remove an address you no longer use without opening it;
- "Allow known platform addresses" — the same button as in the extension window, with the list of addresses the browser will ask about below it;
- if no mirror is allowed, it says "No mirrors are allowed.".
What the bot does not do
- It does not get access to every site. Only to pocketoption.com and to the mirrors you allowed. If you gave the extension access to all sites in the browser settings yourself, the bot still appears only on the mirrors where you clicked the button.
- It does not turn on on a new mirror by itself. Even if the address is on our list, you give the permission: with the button in the extension window or on the options page.
- It does not work on a site that is not the platform. An allowed address only opens access. The bot appears only where the page has a trading room with a chart.
Frequently asked questions
I clicked "Enable", but the bot is not there. Open the extension window: it says what happened on this tab. If it says "Access is granted, but the bot is not running on this tab.", click "Reload the tab". If it says "Open the platform chart page.", enter the trading room.
The extension window says "Open the platform chart page." although I am on a mirror. The window recognises the platform by the chart page. Enter the trading room and open the extension window again.
The mirror changed to a new one. Allow the new address the same way: with the "Enable 7trade on …" button, or with "Allow known platform addresses" if it is already on our list. You can disable the old address on the options page.
What does the extension see on an allowed address? The same as on pocketoption.com: the trading room where the bot works. It has no access to other sites.
