Indicator export/import broken

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Please make sure all your indicators/strategies compile by pulling up any indicator in the editor and pressing F5.

Also: what message is in the logs?

[kittyan]

well, I use only in-built indicators, and only strategy wizard generated strategies

message: error in compile process: value of length can not be smaller than zero. name of the parameter: length

This looks like a corrupted .NET installation. If you can't uninstall, reinstall or repair your .NET 2.0 installation then the only options left are:
- please contact Microsoft support for how to repair your .NET 2.0 installation
- your could try a system restore

thanks, some infos: I use 1 XP pro and 1 vista business and 1 vista ultimate for NT on different hardwares. Only on XP pro works exporting perfect, on both vista i have to manually copy NT's mdb file to export/import. I dont think I will make a complete system build up (rebuilding only frame 2.0 may be better) just for the elegant method of export/import strats and indicators but one last question: have you ever seen perfect working exporting on Vista ?

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

- the mdb file is the NT DB nad has nothing to do with NinjaScript indicators/strategies
- import/export works fine on all our Vista test machines

thanks for the answers, helped a lot

i have the same problem with my vista business german.

if i try to export a indicator which uses other system indicators, then the export fails.

on my winxp machine it asks for additionally exporting the used system indicators. thats where it seems to fail on the vista machine.

any solution yet?

thank you

Are you allowing it to export with the other indicators? Also, you cannot import or export until all of your NinjaScripts are error free.

[kittyan]

hi,

well, I don't use export/import anymore. Simply coping indicators, strats from the right folder (pc) to the right folder (other pc) and compiling them works always on all my op systems.

You NEVER should manually copy/move/remove ANY file in NT's installation folders unless advised by our support team. This easily could result in a corrupted installation.

all indicators compile error free.
there is no question for exporting other scripts.
when i choose a problematic indicator and click on export, instantly the error message is displayed:
Error in compile process: Die Länge darf nicht kleiner als 0 (null) sein.

this means in english: the length may not be smaller than 0.

in the log is a message for every system indicator usage in that indicator:
error CS0118: NinjaTrader.Indicator.SMA ist ein Typ, wird jedoch als Variable verwendet.

(.. is a type, but is used as a variable)

thank you

Pull up the indicator in question in the NinjaScript editor and press F5. Does it compile fine? If not, then please fix any error and try again.

[grasgruen]

like i did just write: it compiles error free.
actually, its a 1:1 copy of the system indicator CCI.
same problem with Bollinger, Stochastic...

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Please post the indicator file in question. You can find it in <my documents>/NinjaTrader6.5/bin/Custom/Indicators. Thanks

[grasgruen]

ok - is attached.

but its really a 1:1 copy of CCI.
