License Key
A valid license key is required for MotiveWave™ to execute. When you signed up for the software
on the website, the system will have sent you an email containing a license key. MotiveWave™ will
ask you for this the first time it is executed. If your license key has been compromised, send an
email to [email protected] to get a new license key.

Creating a Workspace
When MotiveWave™ is first executed, you will be prompted to create a workspace. Workspaces are
used to manage brokerage accounts and/or data services. MotiveWave™ supports an unlimited
number of workspaces. All information associated with a workspace is stored on your computer in a
local database. This information includes:
• Connection Information – Information required to connect to your broker/data service
• Configuration Settings – All configuration settings
• Market Data – Market information downloaded from your broker, this includes detailed
information on specific instruments (stocks, futures, bonds etc) as well as chart data.
• Analysis Files – When you perform analysis on a security by adding comments, drawing
trend lines, identifying Elliot Waves etc, this information is saved in an Analysis File which
is stored in the local database.
• Trade History – Information regarding recent trades are stored locally so that they can be
displayed on charts via the ‘Show Trade History’ option.

In order to create a workspace you will need to enter the following:


• Workspace Name – This is used to identify the workspace. You can name the workspace
whatever you like, but you should choose a name that is easy to associate with your
