The API token is how the NinjaTrader AddOn authenticates with your TurtleMetrics account. It’s a one-time setup step — once the token is saved in the AddOn, your trades sync automatically.

​
Creating your token

1

Open the API page

Log in to TurtleMetrics and go to Management → API in the sidebar.
2

Generate a new token

Click Generate Token. Your new API token will be displayed on screen.
3

Copy the token

Click the copy button next to the token. You’ll need to paste this into NinjaTrader in the next step.
4

Paste it into the AddOn

In NinjaTrader, open the TurtleMetrics Sync window (New → TurtleMetrics Sync). Paste your token into the API Key field and click Save Settings.
Your token is only shown once when you generate it. If you lose it, you can always generate a new one — but you’ll need to update the AddOn with the new token.

​
Regenerating a token

If you need a new token (lost the old one, security concern, etc.):
  1. Go to Management → API in TurtleMetrics
  2. Click Generate Token to create a new one
  3. Copy the new token and paste it into the NinjaTrader AddOn
  4. Click Save Settings in the AddOn
The old token stops working immediately when you generate a new one. The AddOn will stop syncing until you update it with the new token.

​
Common issues

Double-check that the token in the AddOn matches the one in your TurtleMetrics account. If you regenerated your token recently, the AddOn still has the old one. Paste the current token and save again.
For security, previously generated tokens aren’t displayed after creation. If you need to re-enter your token and don’t have it saved, generate a new one from Management → API.
