I regularly need to develop a complex strategy and associated indicators on two different computers.
Unfortunately, if I use Windows Explorer to simply copy the files from one computer to the other I find that the the indicators do not appear in the NT8 indicator window. (i.e. I cannot insert them into a chart for example)
I've tried restarting NT8 to no avail. I've also loaded each indicator in the NinjaScript Editor to manually compile each one, and while everything compiles fine and I restart NT8 afterwards the indicators still do not appear in the Indicator GUI for insertion into a chart.
Using Windows Explorer to manually insert new files into the NT8 folders probably gets the NT code cache corrupted and possibly explains the weird issues I'm seeing...
Q1: Is there a way to force a 'rebuild all' in NinjaTrader so I can use file syncing software to keep my many files in sync?
Q2: Is there some code versioning software that can run with NT8 (e.g. Git, Mercurial, SourceTree, etc)
Q3: What is the 'right way' to develop indicators / strategies on two different machines?
Thanks!
