NinjaTrder Update Problems

[Josey]

I just updated my NinjaTrader to version 6.5.1000.13 on my C drive and for whatever reason the program is looking in the D drive for Strategies. As a result, I cannot load any strategies that I created. It is not listed in the drop down box. Indicators still show up, but not the strategies.

Please help.

Hello Josey,

Is your 'My Documents' folder located on the D drive?

Strategies are saved at: My Documents-->NinjaTrader 6.5-->bin-->Custom-->Strategy

Could it be the Windows account you are logged into, does not have authorization to access the My Documents folder on the D drive?

In addition, what happens if you compile your NinjaScript files; do you see your strategies?

1) Open NinjaTrader
2) From the Control Center -> Tools -> Edit NinjaScript -> Indicator
3) Select any indicator and double click on it.
4) A new window will appear and you will need to right click and compile the indicator. All your NinjaScript files will now be compiled. Check if you see your strategies listed.

Hi Jason

My "My Documents" folder is located on the C drive and my strategies are saved where you indicated.

I tried to compile an indicator and the following error occurred:

Metadata file D:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\NinjaTrader Core.dll could not be found.

A similar error is also written WilsonORMapper.dll could not be found.

I right clicked in the code area and then clicke4d on referencec. Sure enough the Assembly shows those two files under D:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\NinjaTrader Core.dll and the other file is state as well. So somehow the program is looking for those two files that are not located there. In fact, they are located in the same folder except on the C drive.

Hello Josey,

Please proceed as per the steps below.

Go to Tools-->Edit NinjaScript-->Indicator.

Double click any indicator and you will open up its code window.

Right click in this code window and select References.

Find the one for NinjaTrader.Core.dll, select it and press Delete.

Then press Add, locate the NinjaTrader.Core.dll in C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin and click Open.

Do the same for the WilsonORMapper.dll.

Compile your NinjaScript files once more and check if you see the strategies.
