Connection keys for your own terminal

The EA or NinjaTrader add-on on your computer uses this key to prove the terminal is yours.

Most accounts run on our servers and need no key. You only need a connection key when the copying runs on your computer:

  • an MT5 or MT4 account set to In my own MT5/MT4 terminal with the EA, or
  • a NinjaTrader 8 account.

Where to find it

Open the account's settings. The Connection key box shows the server address and the key, each with a Copy button. Paste both into the EA or the NinjaTrader add-on.

The setup steps under the key link to the EA. The NinjaTrader bridge is also on Downloads in the sidebar. See Downloads.

Keep it private

The key lets a terminal act as your account in the copier. Do not share it or post screenshots of it.

Creating a new key

Click Create a new key if the key may have leaked. The old key stops working straight away, so paste the new one into the EA or add-on on your computer.

If the terminal will not connect

  • Check the server address and key were pasted in full, with no spaces.
  • A message that the key "isn't valid any more" means a new key was created. Copy the current one from the dashboard.
  • A message that the account "isn't on your dashboard yet" means you need to add the account in LucianAlgo first.
  • Keep MetaTrader or NinjaTrader open. When it is closed, that account stops copying.
