# Settings Window

Open it from the tray menu: **Settings**.

#### Licensed Accounts

Every account number on your licence is listed with its connection state:

* **● 12345678 — connected** (green): connected and currently syncing.
* **◐ 12345678 — connected, stopped** (amber): connected to a terminal but not running.
* **○ 12345678 — not connected** (grey): on your licence but not yet matched to a terminal.

Connected accounts show the broker name and a **Start** / **Stop** button so you can control each one without leaving the window.

#### Change Terminal

Re-runs the terminal scan so you can connect additional accounts or move an account to a different terminal. Tick the accounts you want to run and click **Save**.

* Ticking a **Ready** terminal connects that account.
* Unticking an already-connected account disconnects it. Its settings and logs are kept, so reconnecting later is a single click.
* If accounts are already running, changes take effect the next time that account is started.

#### Polling Interval (seconds)

How often each account reads MT5 and uploads changes. **Default: 120 seconds.** Range: 30 – 3600.

A shorter interval means fresher data in Hydra Vision; a longer interval means less load on your PC and terminal. For most users the default is right.

#### Start Hydra Agent on login

Hydra Agent is registered to launch automatically at Windows sign-in when it is installed, so it is already running in the tray each time you log on. This option records your preference alongside your other settings.

#### Advanced

Click **▸ Advanced** to reveal:

* **Python Interpreter** — the path to the Python runtime the agent uses to communicate with MT5. This is set automatically to the bundled runtime; only change it if support asks you to.

Click **Save** to apply your changes, or **Cancel** to discard them.
