  2. Once logged in, navigate to Settings and click on the API section. Look for Project Linking and click "LINK".

  3. You will be prompted to link to the ProjectX Dashboard. If you do not have an account, you will need to create one.

  4. Inside the ProjectX Dashboard, purchase a ProjectX API Access subscription.

  5. After subscribing, return to the Prop Firms ProjectX Platform's Settings > API section and click ADD API KEY.

  2. Select your prop firm's platform from the list.

  3. Click Add API Key.

  4. Enter a descriptive name for your API key (e.g., "My Topstep Key").

  5. For the username, enter your ProjectX username.

  6. Paste the API key you copied from the ProjectX dashboard.

  7. Set your environment (e.g., Live or Demo).

  8. Click Save.

Your setup is now complete, and Lune Auto Trader is ready to automate trades on your ProjectX-supported prop firm account.

Best Practices

  • Secure Your API Key: Your API key provides direct access to your trading account. Treat it like a password and never share it publicly.

  • Start with a Demo Account: Before trading with live funds, it is highly recommended to test your setup and strategies on a demo or evaluation account to ensure everything is working as expected.

  • Verify Account Details: Ensure your ProjectX username and API key are entered correctly in Lune Auto Trader to avoid connection issues.
