Regenerate your access key

Your access key is the password the ATS Terminal EA uses to send your accounts to the tracker. Make a new one if someone else may have it, for example after you shared a set file or a screenshot of your settings.

Plan: every plan.

Make a new key

  1. Open Settings › EA Configuration.
  2. Under Access Key, click Regenerate Access Key.

Settings › EA Configuration with the Regenerate Access Key button under the Access Key

Confirm with your password

  1. Enter your Algo Trading Space password.
  2. Click Regenerate Key. The old key stops working at once.

The Regenerate Access Key window: your password, then Regenerate Key

Give the new key to every terminal

  1. In Settings › EA Configuration, click MT5 Set File or MT4 Set File to download a set file with the new key.
  2. In MetaTrader, choose File › Open Data Folder and copy it into MQL5 › Presets (MT4: MQL4 › Presets), replacing the old one.
  3. On the EA's chart, press F7 to open its settings. On the Inputs tab, click Load, choose the new set file and click OK.
  4. Do this on every terminal that runs the ATS Terminal EA.
  5. Used the one-command VPS setup? Generate a new install command and run it on each VPS.

Good to know

  • Until a terminal gets the new key, its EA shows Access key changed — update AccessKey from Settings, then UPLOADS HALTED on the chart, and that account stops updating.
  • Regenerating also removes every terminal registered by the one-command setup and stops the current install command.
  • Your User ID, your password, your dashboard sign-in and the data already recorded stay the same. Trades closed in the meantime arrive once the EA reports again.
  • The set file holds your key. Keep it private, like a password.
