Start FT, Click ?/ Join FT Support Channel and get connected with the FuturesTrader room on IRC:othernet. If I'm there I will try to answer your questions or solve problems you might have with FuturesTrader
The Window is a floating window, which can be moved anywhere on the desktop, stays automatically on top and can be resized. When you open the window you will get automatically connected to the Support Room. If you close FT with the Supportroom open, at restart of FT you will have to press Connect to get connected again. You might join other Channels on IRC:Othernet as well, but be aware that the IRC client in FT does not support colors or other codes. It will just display the control codes instead.
