+

+
+For the monitor to work you need to set this path in the **appsettings.json** in the **monitor** folder, too.

+
+**Important:** Please check that you used _**DOUBLE**_ backslashes in the Path, not SINGLE backslashes. Otherwise you get the follwing error:
+
+`FATAL - Error loading configuration! System.FormatException Could not parse the JSON file`
+
+### Exchange is correct
+Make sure you set the right exchange in your **settings.general.json** ([Details](https://github.com/Legedric/ptmagic/wiki/settings.general)).

+
+### PT Magic service is running
+After starting PTMagic you should see a window with outputs similar to this:

+
+**Important:** Leave this window open!
+
+### PT Magic service finished its initial run
+After you have completed the installation of **PT Magic** and started the application it has to finish its first run. This can take up to 10-15 minutes because it collects a lot of data from the exchange for the last 24 hours to build the market trends. After this it creates a summary file in the _data folder the monitor uses.
+
+The **PT Magic** window should show messages like that if its finished:

+
+### PT Magic monitor webserver is running
+After starting PTMagic monitor you should see a window with outputs similar to this:
+
+![](https://i.imgur.com/FtG1kC0.png)
+
+This indicates that the webserver is running at port 5000 now. If you changed the port in your **settings.general.json** then you will see another port number in the message. You should now be able to open a browser **on the same machine** and browse to "http://localhost:5000"
+
+**Important:** Leave this window open!
+
+### Start Balance is set
+Make sure you set a start balance in your **settings.general.json** ([Details](https://github.com/Legedric/ptmagic/wiki/settings.general)).
+

+
+**PT Magic** uses this value to add the sales from the **Profit Trailer** sales log and calculate your current balance. That's because **PT Magic** has no access to your exchange like **Profit Trailer** does using your API keys.
