The platform communicates with many servers in order to display the different information (Prices, Charts, Chat etc. all have different servers). In some cases, your local security settings will block parts of the trading platform from communicating with one or more of these, and this causes the problems you are seeing.

Please follow the below instructions to allow the platform to reach the required servers:

Delete Temporary Internet Files

To delete Temporary Internet Files open Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options:

On the General tab press Delete… under Browsing history:

Now chose to delete Temporary Internet Files and Cookies and press Delete:

The issue is almost always due to a setting in Chrome – “Block third-party cookies and site data” being ticked in the Chrome settings.

Untick “Block third-party cookies and site data” and press “Done”:

In some cases we might ask you to provide a Problem Report. This report gives us the necessary information to investigate the problem you are having on the GTS Pro platform, and it includes:

• Your Workspace

In order to generate a problem report, go to the login window > click on Change Connection Settings > General > Create problem report.

Press Save > Save it on your Desktop. Then, send an email to [email protected] and submit your query including the files.

Before generating the report, please make sure that there is a tick in Enable detailed system logging. It will always be ticked on unless you have ticked it off yourself. If it’s not there, please re-tick the box, then click Apply, log out from the platform, log in again and work with it for some time, until the problem occurs again. And only then generate the problem report.

GTS communicates with a set of remote servers in order to function properly.

Please find below the list of addresses and ports which may need to be added to your firewall/proxy setup to allow for outgoing communications on ports 1001, 443 and 80.

As a minimum requirement, in order to fully utilize the trading application, port 443 and port 80 need to be open for HTTPS and HTTP traffic respectively, to the servers listed above.

We also recommend that you clear the cache of your proxy to ensure that it is using the latest details.

Most users will not need to make any changes to their Network Environment for GTS to run optimally – typically, users behind a corporate firewall could be required to make changes in their network environment.

The Failed to load the login page error message indicates that you are unable to reach the login page of GTS.

Try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Make sure you don’t have a firewall or other security software on your PC or network which blocks access to the GTS login pages:

Live: live.logonvalidation.net

Simulation: sim.logonvalidation.net

2. If you are using a proxy server, make sure it is properly set up – refer to this article and list of addresses which need to be added to your proxy setup to allow for both incoming and outgoing communications.
3. Make sure you have Internet Explorer 8 or later installed – an error message will say “Internet Explorer is older than the minimum required version (IE8). Please upgrade to the latest available version.”
4. Try Windows network troubleshooting.

Right-click on the network icon in the Windows task bar, and choose “Troubleshoot problems” and follow the steps.
