## Efficient Troubleshooting Before Contacting Support
If you encounter an issue while using AgenaTrader, we encourage you to take a moment to investigate possible causes before reaching out to our support team. Our **technical support** is specifically dedicated to resolving **system errors and technical shortcomings** within the software. Since they do not provide **individual tutoring or assistance with general settings and platform handling**, submitting such requests may lead to **longer response times** for all users, including yourself.
In many cases, issues can be resolved through **a quick review of settings, configurations, or known solutions**. Even experienced developers sometimes realize that the source of an issue lies in **a specific setup rather than the software itself**—so taking a moment to check for potential causes can often lead to a quick fix.
To help you troubleshoot effectively, we provide **detailed documentation, FAQs, tutorials, and a community on Discord** where both users and our team are available to assist you. These resources are designed to help you get the most out of AgenaTrader while minimizing waiting times for support responses.
### **If problems arise...**
...or something does not work as expected, please follow our recommendations:
1. First try to ensure that you have updated your program to the latest version as is described in the release notes.
2. We kindly ask you to look for the answers to your question in our online media
3. Only after this should you contact the support team.
*In 9 of 10 cases you will find help in our* [*FAQ*](https://docs.agenatrader.com/introduction/faq)*.*
## Submitting a Support Ticket Efficiently
To submit a support request, please click on the **small arrow next to "Support"** in the **Toolbar** and select **"Create Sales/Support Ticket"** from the dropdown menu.
* Choose the **appropriate category and subcategory**
* Provide a **detailed description** of your request
* Attach **screenshots** if relevant
Once we receive your request and data, we will **forward it to our testing team** or handle it directly, depending on the nature of your inquiry.
**Important Information on Further Communication**
* All **further communication** with our support team will take place via **email**.
* For **new issues, inquiries, or technical problems**, please **always create a new ticket**. This ensures a **smooth and complete resolution** of your request.
We understand that waiting for a solution may sometimes require patience. Our team works as quickly as possible, but **analyzing, troubleshooting, and testing a technical issue** requires diligence and can take time.
While we appreciate your eagerness for updates, **multiple follow-ups do not speed up the process**—in fact, they can **cause delays**. This is because once a ticket is forwarded to the test department, it is no longer visible to the support team. Unnecessary follow-ups may **push tickets between departments**, delaying the resolution process.
Therefore, to ensure a **fast and efficient response**, we kindly ask you **not to send follow-ups** or open a **new ticket for the same issue** unless absolutely necessary (e.g., if you have essential new information relevant to the solution).
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

#### **Unhandled Exception (Error report to the support)**
Should an internal error occur, AgenaTrader will display a popup in which you can see the so-called stack trace and recognize where this error has occurred. This information is very important for us to stabilize AgenaTrader. If you receive such a popup, please submit this information to us by clicking the **Send Error** button. We will subsequently receive an email with the stack trace information. You *will not receive any response* from our support team. In case a bug is detected, it will most likely be fixed in one of the next updates.
