Hello tinkerz,

Thank you for your post.

From the looks of it, you upgraded to 7.0.0.22 from a pre-7.0.0.16 version of NinjaTrader. When upgrading from a pre-.16 version, some special steps were required. Unfortunately, you'll need to completely reinstall NinjaTrader to get back up and running. Custom settings will be deleted as part of this procedure.


Please follow the steps listed below to completely uninstall and reinstall NinjaTrader:

1. Close all running applications.
2. Then from the Start menu select --> Control Panel --> Add and Remove Programs.
3. From Add and Remove Programs select NinjaTrader 7 and click Remove.
4. Then manually delete the folder "NinjaTrader 7" located under Start --> My Documents.
5. Delete any NinjaTrader installation files. This can be done by going to Start --> My Computer --> Search button --> search for (NinjaTrader*) --> select Local C Disk and then press search.
6. Then you will need to clear your internet browser cache and history. You will clear this from within your internet browser (with IE, Tools-->Options, delete cookies and files, clear history).
7. Reboot your machine.
8. Once these steps are completed, download NT7 from the link below:
   Download

Please let us know if you are able to get up and running after the reinstall.

will i lose my custom scripts?

[NinjaTrader_Kyle]

tinkerz,

Yes, you will. Unfortunately, all custom settings will be deleted.

[tinkerz]

custom settings like charts, but what about Ninja scripts that i wrote, can i save them?

[NinjaTrader_Kyle]

tinkerz,

The only supported way to save settings is using the backup and restore options. Since it's not possible to start NinjaTrader, it's not possible to backup.

Do you have a prior backup of your settings?

[tinkerz]

Yes, i just wish i did it before updateing, i was sure that i was pre 16 beta

[tinkerz]

Ok I have reinstalled everything is working fine, I reloaded my last backup, that is all working apart from one script

Accessing prior day data etc..GetDayBar() CurrentDayOHL()

I dont have either of these in my script. it was working before, any ideas

tinkerz,

Is this the compile error? If so, can you provide me with an image of this error as it is reported in the code window?

[tinkerz]

Its not a compile error

Its in the Log

Error on calling the Onbarupdate method for indicator Orange on bar 0 should only be used for accessing prior trading day data, to access current trading day use currentdayOHL()

Hello Tinkerz,

The error message suggests you are trying to access this method on the first bar and it should be called for the most recent session. Can you share the script you're using and we can take a look?

[tinkerz]

Here is the file, it just looks at overnight range, and pivots, it worked pre beta 22

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

Thanks. I took a look at the file.

There are a couple items here:

• GetSessionBar() should be changed to GetDayBar()
• If you need to access the current session bar, it should be with CurrentDayOHL()

This was changed in Beta 21. Release notes here.

If you use GetDayBar(0) you will get the error message when applying the indicator.
