Export NinjaScript

[SteveB]

How best to copy an indicator/strategy between machines?

I am trying to use the File/Utilities/Export NinjaScript... menu item...

and the attempt is failing "Error Compiling Export Source..."

My scripts have refereneces to code in the "UserDefinedMethods" modules... "UserDefinedMethods" does not appear in the listbox for Exporting...

Thanks!

Hi SteveB,

If your codes have errors, you will need to fix them before exporting, here are tips how to proceed - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=4678

You can also try the BackUp and Restore function for moving custom NinjaTrader files between machines -

SteveB,

Since you cannot export UserDefinedMethods, you will need to create globally used functions / methods in an indicator which acts as a global.

Reference my post here for details.

Thanks MrLogik!

The issue is that Ninja Trader does not allow you to export the user defined functions file. This is because it would overwrite that file on the target user's PC.
There is a very easy solution. You just need to rename the file and then it will appear in the box to export the code.
Go to :
C:\Users\******\Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Strategy
rename: UserDefinedMethods.cs to myUserDefinedMethods.cs

DONE!
