If you encounter difficulty getting emails sent to your Gmail account from Trade Processor, here are the steps to make it work.
1. Open your internet browser & log into your Gmail account here.
2. Click the "Google Apps" squares in the top right of your browser next to your name.
3. Click on the "My Account" option -> Sign-in & Security -> then scroll towards the bottom of the next page & enable the option for "Allow less secure apps".
4. Open the Trade Processor & click Edit -> Preferences. Insert the following information:
Email Address: Your Gmail address
Password: Your Gmail password (not your OmniVest or brokerage password)
SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 587
Place a check mark in Enable SSL
It should look like this:
5. Enable Alerts and/or Email Reports, then click "Save" when you are done.
The Trade Processor will send emails to your Gmail account from the machine it is running on, such as your home computer or an Amazon cloud instance, etc.
