Activate self-registration for WebTrader partners

As a WebTrader sponsor you can activate the WebTrader registration wizard. This wizard lets WebTraders set up their own trading profiles without help from you as sponsor. This provides a way to get many WebTraders configured to trade messages.

As the WebTrader sponsor, you must activate the service on the Activator server, and communicate the access password to your WebTrader partners.
