    NinjaTrader® made a video explaining how to install add-ons, indicators or strategies:

    Our product includes a DLL file that has undergone obfuscation using a .NET Obfuscator. Obfuscation is a standard practice in the software industry aimed at safeguarding proprietary algorithms and intellectual property by making code difficult to interpret or reverse-engineer.

    Although obfuscation techniques are designed to protect code integrity, they can sometimes trigger heuristic analysis algorithms used by antivirus software. These actions are purely preventive and do not pose any security threat.

    We assure you that downloading from our site is safe, and you can expect a seamless installation process.

    After installing the Advanced Trade Planner, you'll need to enter your license key in the Properties section. Right-click on the Advanced Trade Planner in your chart, select Properties, and in Section 0.Version - License Key field, paste your license key in the designated field.
    If your license shows as invalid, please check that you've entered it correctly in the Properties section. Make sure there are no extra spaces and that you've copied the entire license key. If the issue persists, contact our support team for assistance.
    This depends on your license type. Single licenses can be activated on one machine, while dual licenses allow activation on two machines. You can manage your activations from your account dashboard. If you need to move your license to a new computer, you need to deactivate it from the old machine first.
    The Advanced Trade Planner runs exclusively on NinjaTrader 8. It is not compatible with other platforms such as MetaTrader, TradingView, or Sierra Chart. You'll need a NinjaTrader 8 installation — either a licensed copy or the free simulation version — to use the tool.
    A single license ($149) activates the Advanced Trade Planner on one computer. A dual license ($199) lets you activate on two computers — for example, a desktop at home and a laptop for travel. Both are one-time purchases with lifetime updates included.
    Log in to your account dashboard and deactivate the license on your old machine first. Once deactivated, you can activate it on your new computer using the same license key. If you run into issues, contact us at contact@edgetradertools.com and we'll help you get set up.
