Platforms FAQs

If you access SaxoTrader from your workplace, it is highly likely that this will be done through a firewall and/or a proxy server. Even some private users now use such devices.

In order for SaxoTrader to communicate securely with our server(s), through a firewall and/or a proxy server, you need to have a special "port" opened.

Please ask a systems administrator to open "Port 1001" for access to the server "simulation.Saxobank.com" (ip address 193.178.175.38). This port is used for encrypted communication with the trading server.

This must be done before downloading the demo!

Technical personnel, please refer to the Technical documentation, where detailed descriptions for different scenarios are available.

The advantage of Saxo Bank’s "standard" installation is that it only downloads files that are actually required on the target computer, and therefore the download can be considerably faster (especially on slow lines), compared to the alternative installation.

The "standard" installation may have problems however:

• Proxy servers that requires authentication.
• Proxy servers with faulty file caching implementations.

See more about Security or try Trouble shooting.

In case you receive the error message Invalid login or password you should follow these steps:
