Why Active Trader Pro May Not Open or Synchronize
Fidelity's **Active Trader Pro (ATP)** is a very powerful real-time trading platform. However, especially after software updates or changes in network environments, it may show login or synchronization problems. Typical triggers include:
Outdated Java or .NET components
* Cached credentials or corrupted config files
* Antivirus/firewall blocking data ports (443 / 4433)
* Server maintenance or account-permission mismatch
* Operating-system security patches that reset permissions
---
## **Step-by-Step Fix Guide
**1. Verify Fidelity System Status
* Go to the [Fidelity System Alerts page](https://www.fidelity.com/security/fidelity-system-updates).
* If maintenance is listed, wait until it's finished before retrying.
**2. Check Network and VPN
* Disconnect from any VPN or proxy; they can prevent ATP from reaching Fidelity's quote servers.
* Whitelist `*.fidelity.com` and ports 443 / 4433 in the case of a corporate network
**3. Update Active Trader Pro
Launch the **Fidelity Update Manager** or reinstall from your account’s Downloads page.
Old builds may fail the authentication process following recent security upgrades in 2025.
**4. Clear Cached Profiles
1. Quit ATP
2. Go to `Documents\\Fidelity Active Trader Pro\\Profiles`.
3. Rename the folder to `Profiles_old`.
4. Restart ATP and log in fresh.
*(This forces a rebuild of layout and login cache.)*
**5. Verify Windows and Browser Settings
* Verify that system date/time and regional settings are correct. SSL certificates can reject mismatched clocks.
* If you log in via browser first, clear cookies for `fidelity.com`.
6. Check Firewall and Security Software
* Disable third-party antivirus temporarily, or add an exclusion for `atp.exe`.
* Immediately turn protection back on after testing.
7. Sync and Streaming Delays
If charts or quotes are lagging:
* Open **Settings → Data → Streaming Mode**, select *Real-Time (High Speed)*.
* Check the watchlist limit (< 250 symbols).
* Close unused windows; each tile consumes bandwidth.
**8. Re-Authenticate
Sometimes, “Login failed (1013)” messages occur due to the expiration of tokens.
*
Choose **File → Logout**, then re-enter your Fidelity username and password.
* Enable two-factor authentication--it adds stability and security.
**9. Use Alternate Device or Web Platform
If problems persist with desktop, then sign in at [Fidelity.com/trade](https://www.fidelity.com/trade) to check account access.
If web login works, then the problem is local to your computer—not your Fidelity credentials.

## **Preventing Future Login or Sync Problems
| Cause | Prevention Tip |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Software out of date | Enable auto ATP update. |
| Overloaded layout | Limit streaming windows to active symbols. |
| Frequent disconnects | Use wired Ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi. |
| Credential errors | Refresh password every 90 days and store in Fidelity’s secure vault. |

When to Contact Fidelity Support - Check the Number First
If you have tried all of the above and still cannot log in or your data won’t sync:
1. Go to [Fidelity Support Contacts](https://www.fidelity.com/customer-service/contact-us).
2. Please note, all phone numbers and hours are subject to change and should be verified prior to dialing.
3. Have ready:
* Your username for the account in question (do not provide passwords)
Operating system and ATP version
* Any error codes displayed
⚠️ If you see "888-684-9487" listed elsewhere, **verify on Fidelity.com first**. Fidelity will never call you first or request login credentials by phone or email.
