Command Line options for launching

[Hyper]

Hi. I know that, these days, everything is a GUI and most users
have no idea what the command line really is...

But in case of an issue with NinjaTrader startup; due, for example,
to faulty indicator, I'd like to be able to start the platform without
any user defined Charts or Indicators.

Here's how I always start NinjaTrader:

REM kill an existing process
taskkill /f /IM ninjatrader.exe
start "" /D "C:\ninja/bin64" "NinjaTrader.exe"

In case of an urgent need to start NinjaTrader in what we could call
a "safe mode" it could be:

start "" /D "C:\ninja/bin64" "NinjaTrader.exe /safemode"

But these command line options would have to be developed.

The reason for this would be, for example; when it was URGENT
to get the platform back up; say, to CLOSE out positions in a hurry.

Hello Hyperscalper,

There is no command line argument for starting in Safe Mode. Since we start in Safe Mode when the Ctrl key is pressed, you could consider emulating key presses with a PowerShell script, or simply holding the Ctrl key when you submit the command.

I found a publicly available resource that discusses emulating key presses with PowerShell, but you may just want to hold Ctrl.

We typically advise calling the broker's Order Desk immediately if there is an issue with the platform where you cannot use it to manage your positions.

We look forward to assisting.
