Importing a protected compiled assemblies prevents me from exportin mine

[cunparis]

I imported a protected compiled indicator (call it Indicator X) and then when I go to export mine, it tries to make Indicator X a requirement to distribute mine which causes problems. Am I doing something wrong? It's been a while since I tried this but I'd like to try it again.

Hello cunparis,

Thank you for your post.

This occurs when custom assemblies are loaded in your installation and you are developing your own indicators and strategies to be exported in a protected assembly. While your indicators and strategies do not call this assembly it still requires the assembly on the users PC.

To resolve this matter you must develop your indicators and strategies in a clean development environment. This means no custom assemblies in your installation.

You can create to directories for NinjaTrader; one for development and one for your trading. To do this shut down NinjaTrader > then rename the (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7 folder as NinjaTrader 7.OLD > then uninstall NinjaTrader (you will not lose your settings or files) by going to Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features > NinjaTrader 7 > Uninstall.

Once complete you will re-install NinjaTrader from the following link, this will create a new directory in the (My) Documents folder for NinjaTrader 7. Now you will have NinjaTrader 7.OLD and NinjaTrader 7, rename NinjaTrader 7 to NinjaTrader 7.DEV after shutting down NinjaTrader and then rename NinjaTrader 7.OLD to NinjaTrader 7 to switch between your development and trade installations.

Thanks for confirming this issue. I used a VM to package my indicators which is pretty similar to the solution you proposed.
