Templates gone ?

[BGWTEX]

Of 8 saved templates, 4 are as last seen on 04/16/16. The other 4 templates are now identicle, with the same 3 columns : Intrument, LastPrice and Daily Volume. When last seen, 04/16/16, they all had about 15 more columns (with some variations), all built on custom indicators. The indicators seem OK and can be added as before. The 4 templates in question have files that are in /My Documents/Ninjatrader 7/Templates/MarketAnalyzer. All have different 'Modified Dates" and are different size, ranging from 317 KB to 342 KB, as I would expect for the templates as they were. Does this seem as expected to you ? Can I recover my non-backed up files.

Thanks,

Hello Bruce,

Thanks for your post.

Since you do not have a backup, ensure to do backups regularly to prevent loss.
I have provided a link below to our Help Guide that goes over backing up and restoring.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/index.html?backup__restore.htm

You may be able to restore your templates to an earlier version in Windows
To do this within Windows open Documents> NinjaTrader 7> templates
Right click on the MarketAnalyzer*folder and select Properties
See if you have the ability to restore to an earlier version

If not, you will need to recreate your*templates

I was able to restore as you suggested. The restored file is dated 04/11/16, and is 1KB smaller (341KB) than the "current" version (342KB) which is what I'd expect. However, the restored file is the same as the "current" version, only 3 columns where there should be about 18. When I save the restored 341Kb file to a new name, it saves to 7KB. Any idea where the rest of the files are ? Would a "backed up" file be any better than a restored file ?

Hello BGWTEX,
Thanks for your reply.
It seems this is not available on your system. You will not be able to restore it.
Yes, a backup could help and I would recommend doing regular backups.
At this time you will need to recreate your Market Analyzer set up.
