Download questions

Not yet. TraderDesk is a new, independent application and is not yet code-signed, so Windows may show “Windows protected your PC”. Verify the SHA-256 checksum before running the installer. Do not disable your antivirus.
What are the system requirements?
A Windows 10 or Windows 11 desktop. The current build is for Windows only; there is no macOS or Linux version. You also need an internet connection for broker and market-data requests.
Do I need a broker account to try it?
No. The built-in demo accounts let you open the app without API keys. Connect a broker when you want to send orders to a real or paper broker account.
How do I verify the download?
Open PowerShell in the folder that contains the installer and run Get-FileHash .\TraderDesk-US-1.1.3-Setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256. Compare the output with the SHA-256 on this page. They must match exactly.
