Hi when doing automated trades when away from laptop do you have to leave laptop on with screen not timing out and going to screensaver do you have to setup laptop to keep screen on

The screen doesn't need to be on but your laptop must not go into standby or hibernate.

If you're using fingerprint or face recognition to sign on, run BA in practice mode to check that it's still running when the screen switches off. The problem with fingerprint sign-in is that you can't (as far as I know) disable the sign-in when the screen goes off but I don't think it stops automation from running.
