Hello nepenthean,


Thank you for your post.


Please follow the instructions below to see where the errors are coming from after compiling the indicator. This will allow you to debug the indicator/strategy or remove it from your PC. If you are wondering why you receive an error when compiling only one indicator, it is because NinjaTrader always compiles all indicators and strategies - not just one. This is done to give you the highest runtime performance possible.



For NinjaTrader 8:

• Open NinjaTrader
• From the Control Center select the New menu--> select NinjaScript Editor
• Double click on the Indicators folder--> then double click on any of the indicators
• Once the indicator code is in view right click in the window and select Compile to compile all NinjaScript objects
• At the bottom of the NinjaScript Editor window, a new section will appear where you can find the error locations
• You can exclude the file referenced in the editor by double clicking on the appropriate object type on the right of the NinjaScript Editor window. This will expand the object type folder. You can then select the file with a left click--> right click on the object--> then select Open to begin debugging the file, Exclude From Compilation, or Remove to delete the file.

If you are unsure as to what the error is indicating, please post a screenshot of the NinjaScript File column and Error column fully visible (not to be confused with the Code column)

I followed the instructions about how to debug in NT8, but when I double-clicked the lower pane (orange area) in NS Editor it failed to expand the object type folder. I was unable to exclude or delete.

Please advise.

Hello nepenthean,

Thank you for your post.

Please click and drag at the columns edge to expand the column showing the error messages. Then you can see what the message is referring to.
If the errors messages refer to certain indicators, you could remove the indicators in question by going to the following directory:


Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\ folder
or
Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\indicators\ folder

Finding the indicator and deleting it from the folder will remove the indicator from NinjaTrader. After removing the indicator, you can compile to see if the errors are resolved.

If the error messages refer to a reference .dll file. This indicates you are missing some required reference DLL's or have corrupted ones listed - please follow the steps below to rectify the errors.
To resolve reference errors:

• Right click in the code section of the NinjaScript editor.
• In the context menu click on 'References'
• In the Reference dialog, if a reference to the noted DLL files exists already then select the DLL's which are giving errors one by one and click on the 'Remove' button.

After removing, click 'Ok'.

• Compile the indicator now by pressing F5.
• The issues should be resolved and your NT should be again in properly compiled state
