Namespace already contains a definition for ...

[HappyTrader76]

Dear Support Team,
I'm workin on an indicator and everything worked fine, until I got an error message for just about every indicator installed. ADX is only one example:
@ADX.cs,The namespace 'NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators' already contains a definition for 'ADX',CS0101,36,15,

The other error I get looks like this:
@ADX.cs,The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties: 'Indicator.ADX(ISeries<double>, int)' and 'Indicator.ADX(ISeries<double>, int)',CS0121,175,21,

and:
@ADX.cs,Ambiguity between 'ADX.Period' and 'ADX.Period',CS0229,52,5,

This is repeated for every indicator installed. I assume there must be a double somewhere but I have no idea where to look. Do you have any help for me?
Thank you very much!

Hello HappyTrader76,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, this means there is likely a duplicate copy of the ADX indicator file. Navigate to the Documents/NinjaTrader 8/bin/Custom/Indicators folder, and delete the duplicate copy of the indicator. Then try compiling again.

Please let me know if this doesn't guide you in the right direction.

Thank you for coming back to me _Gaby. I don't have any duplicate files in my indicators Folder. Also these error messages appear for every single indicator. I attached a screenshot. I don't know what causes the problem... I wanted to uninstall any addons that might cause the problem . NT only lets me do that if all the errors ar gone.

Hello,

Can you send a screenshot of the contents of the Documents/NinjaTrader 8/bin/Custom/Indicators folder?

[HappyTrader76]

Here's the Indicators folder.

I notice you have OneDrive installed, this can cause issues with NT. I have seen it create duplicate files before by trying to back-up.

Is there perhaps an NT folder within OneDrive?

[HappyTrader76]

The OneDrive Folder is not connected to my microsoft account exactly for that reason. I have other MS Office applications that are signed in but I made a seperate local user account on my PC to prevent OneDrive from syncing Ninjatrader. So that folder is empty. I just double checked.
