Install on Windows

The two things you install once on a Windows PC, in the order that works.

There are two pieces and they do different jobs. The connector is a small background program that sends your closed trades to this dashboard. The addon runs inside Bookmap and records your orders and, on each instrument you tick, a per second summary of that instrument's market while it is open in Bookmap, whether you trade or not, which is what lets the coach see what you were looking at and not only what you traded.

Install the connector first. What the addon writes has nowhere to go until the connector is there to send it.

Install the connector

Already have the connector on this PC? Then this is an update and these are not your steps. Follow Updating the connector, once: it keeps your folder and your pairing, and asks for no code.

  1. Sign in to the dashboard, open Set up your recording and click Get pairing code. Copy it and leave the page open.
  2. Click Download for Windows. You are getting version 0.16.0.
  3. Make a new folder for it anywhere you will keep it, for example C:\AINorden. Avoid Downloads, Program Files and USB drives.
  4. Move the download into that folder and unzip it there.
  5. Open the program inside.
  6. If Windows says it does not recognise it, click More info, then Run anyway. Windows warns because neither the connector nor the addon is code signed yet, and while updates are on, a faulty version can reach your computer without you doing anything.
  7. Paste your pairing code and confirm.
  8. When it says All set, the connector is done.

Leave that folder where it is. The connector remembers its own location so it can start with Windows, and moving or deleting it afterwards breaks that.

Install the addon

  1. Back on Set up your recording, click Download the addon. You are getting v18.
  2. Move the downloaded file into a folder you will keep, not Downloads. Bookmap remembers where the file is, and moving it later stops the addon.
  3. In Bookmap open Settings, then Configure add-ons, then Add, and pick that file.
  4. Tick the checkbox next to Norden Statistics to turn it on.
  5. Restart Bookmap and check the box is still ticked.

Tick it on every instrument you trade. If you trade ES and NQ, tick it on ES and on NQ. An instrument you forget records nothing. Its trades reach the dashboard only if Bookmap's own export records them, and then with no order or market readings; otherwise they never arrive, and no total, rule or alert covers them. Nothing warns you either way.

If the checkbox is greyed out and will not tick, that is a separate problem with its own article: the addon checkbox is greyed out.

Running it, stopping it, removing it

Is it running? Open Task Manager and look for ai-norden-connector.exe, or run in Command Prompt:

tasklist | findstr ai-norden-connector

Stop it now:

taskkill /IM ai-norden-connector.exe /F

Start it again: double click the exe. To stop it starting when you sign in, open Task Manager, go to the Startup tab and disable AINordenConnector. To remove it completely: stop it, disable the startup entry, then delete the exe along with ai-norden-connector.json and ai-norden-connector.log next to it. Nothing else is left behind.

Then trade

Trade in simulation, live or replay as you normally would, and come back to the dashboard. It fills on its own.

Recording starts the day you install it. Whatever you traded before that stays on your machine and is never uploaded.

If any step above did not go the way it is written here, say which number you stopped at. That one detail is usually the whole answer.
