Warning when installing v15.1

[traderpards]

If you have the McClelland oscillator indicator installed on your machine, the installation of NT8 v15.1 will blow away all of your strategies in all of your workspaces when you install it.

The reason is because Ninjatrader added their own McClelland Oscillator and after you install NT, you will have two of them. This will cause a compiler error since you can't have two classes named the same in the same namespace. That, in turn causes Ninjatrader to rebuild the original Custom.Dll. You have to then go in and remove your copy of the McClelland oscillator, or at least that's what I did.

To prevent this, before you update, remove your copy of the McClellan oscillator and re-compile. (Or you can rename the class and re-compile.) (Or you can save all your strategies to their own template so you can easily reload them after they've been blown away.)

Other indies that were added:
Relative Vigor Index indicator
Wiseman Awesome Oscillator indicator
Wiseman Alligator indicator
Wiseman Fractal indicator

Those are pretty obscure though. If any, it's the McClelland oscillator that will be the culprit.

Be forewarned!

Has anyone else had a problem with drawing on charts with the new update? With me its super sensitive, when i draw a line and then try to positon the line as soon as I highlight it the properties menu comes up. Same goes with trend channels.

Also when I try to drag the line to a new spot the whole chart scrolls left or right. I reverted back to the previous version and nothing like this happens in the previous version.

[traderpards]

I haven't. I've only drawn horizontal lines though. I draw them zoomed out so I can view the chart over several days and then I zoom back to normal to adjust them perfectly and they adjust like you would expect.

Hello AndyM,

Thank you for your note.

This may be best solved by connecting for a remote support session with one of our technicians so they may troubleshoot step by step.

Please send an email to platformsupport[AT]ninjatrader[DOT]com with "ATTN CHRIS S" in the subject line and we will be happy to schedule a remote support call with you.

I look forward to your reply.

Ok thanks will do, Ill have to re download the latest update because I reverted back to the previous version.

I have reinstalled the latest update for Ninja trader 8 (8.0.15.1 64-bit) strangely everything is working as it should now. The last time I updated it was behaving strangely when drawing lines and trend channels. Now it is working as it should actually its very snappy, so I don't think a support call is necessary
