Error message when attempting to import a 3rd party NinjaScript

[HarmonicPT]

I purchased a couple of indicators from an NT8 developer; they were in the form of compressed Zip files. The attached screenshot displays the error message I received when attempting to import them into NT8 today. Any ideas on how to proceed are appreciated!

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.

• 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 send me a screenshot of the NinjaScript File column and Error column fully visible (not to be confused with the Code column)

To send a screenshot with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using Window's, Snipping Tool.

Alternatively to send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screen shot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

Hi, thanks for the info. I have attached the screenshot i JPG format. Not a clue what all of this is or why it's part of a new NT8 download. I attempted to delete the ones in orange but it says they are Chart-related, so not possible.

Any file name with an '@' at the beginning is a built in item. All of these are 'supposed' to be in your NinjaTrader installation and are not new. I suspect you're missing a critical reference or there are duplicate files in your installation. There is no way for me to tell with the information I have at the moment.

I'd like to resolve this remotely. Please write into PlatformSupport[AT]NinjaTrader[DOT]com with a link to this forum post and make sure to reference "2167650 ATTN Patrick G".
