For this purpose, it is necessary to click on the first trading window of One Click Trading or right-click any trading window and choose the Close Application option. - Closing One Click Trading saving all the settings at exiting the terminal. Closing One Click Trading and the trading terminal simultaneously will save the current settings. Due to this, at the next trading terminal opening the settings will be saved and the Settings window will not be shown automatically.

- symbols of all trading windows in the interface program
- lots of all trading windows in the interface program
- arrangement of windows relative to each other (X and Y coordinates)
- arrangement of trading windows relative to each other (Z coordinate)
- information on which trading windows are active
Some of these options are described further in the instruction
