Let us first create the script that we will run at regular intervals.

- Select "Tools" then "Script Editor"
- Select "File" then "New"
- Type the script name then click on "OK"
- Type the following line:

Downloader.StartDownloader("[name]");

- Replace [name] by the download item name. Here, we want to execute a downloader at regular intervals.
- Save the script by selecting "File" then "Save"

For the execution part, we must create a time-based task.

- Select "Tools" then "Task Manager"
- Click on "Click here to add a task"
- If you want to run the script once an hour then you must do the following actions:

- Click on "Select all hours", "Select all weeks" and "Select all months" then click on "0" under "Minute" panel.

- Under "Script" panel, click on "Add" then select the previously created script
- Under "Task" panel, give a name to this task then click on "Add" to add the task to QuantShare trading software and to the Windows task manager

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
