Activating with Your Key

By GammaContext · Product documentation

A single Key activates all three components of the suite. This guide shows where to get your Key and how to paste it into each one.

Where to Get Your Key

  1. Log in to the GammaContext portal.
  2. Go to Integraciones → NinjaTrader 8.
  3. If it's your first time, your Key is generated automatically as soon as you arrive with an active subscription.
  4. The Key is masked by default. Click the eye icon to reveal it in full, or use the Copy button directly (it copies to your clipboard without revealing it on screen).

How to Paste the Key into Each Component

GCIGexLevels and GCIStrikeProfile

  1. On the chart, open the indicator's properties (double-click its name in the Indicators list, or right-click → Properties).
  2. Under the "01. License" group, paste your Key into the Key field.
  3. Click Apply (or OK).
  4. The indicator validates your Key in the background. NT8 doesn't freeze while it validates.

GammaContext Gex Panel

  1. In the top bar of the panel window, paste your Key into the KEY field.
  2. Click Conectar (Connect).
  3. The panel validates your Key in the background, the same way the indicators do.

How to Confirm It's Active

Component Sign that it's live
GCIGexLevels "GEX feed: LIVE" text in the top-right corner of the chart
GCIStrikeProfile "Strike Profile: LIVE" text in the top-right corner of the chart
GammaContext Gex Panel "En vivo" (Live) badge next to the expiration selector, plus "Último snapshot: hace Xs" (Last snapshot: Xs ago), updating constantly

Choose Your Asset and Expiration

All three components share the same two data parameters:

  • Instrument: the asset you want to follow (NQ, ES, or CL).
  • Expiration / Venc.: 0DTE, 1DTE, or ALL (depending on the component, some levels only exist in 0DTE/1DTE, see each one's reference page).

One License, One Machine at a Time

Your Key works on one machine at a time. If you activate the same Key on another computer, the system transfers the license automatically once per day. If you try to switch machines before that window passes, you'll see a wait message with the remaining minutes (see Support and Troubleshooting).

If you need to invalidate your current Key (for example, if you think it leaked), you can regenerate it from the portal: the old one becomes invalid instantly, across all three components at once.

Next Step

With the Key active across all three components, check each one's reference to understand what it plots and how to configure it: GCIGexLevels · GCIStrikeProfile · GammaContext Gex Panel.
