NinjaTrader must use Exchange symbology, for example ESH6, not ES 03-26 or ES MAR26.

  • NinjaTrader can be a leader, or a follower in Fills Only: its followers do not receive waiting orders, stops or targets, only fills.
  • Regenerate Key issues a new API key. The old one stops working at once, so update the add-on with the new key.
