Can I overwrite an indicator when importing a new version?

[cre8able]

I am sharing some indicators I wrote with some friends. But when they import the new zip file they are getting a message that one of the files they are importing may contain duplicate method names. I know they have an older version of my indicators.

is there any way to overwrite when importing a new indicator?

or do they have to manually remove the old version first?

thanks

deleting the previous will help.

thanks Emma1.

I was hoping there was an "overwite existing file" option like there is in many other programs

Hello cre8able,

Don't overwrite system indicators that begin with the @ symbol, but do overwrite custom imported files that do not begin with the @ symbol.

To import a NinjaScript into NinjaTrader 8 do the following:

1. Download the script to your desktop, keep it in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select Tools -> Import -> NinjaScript...
3. Click the Desktop icon on the left to navigate to the desktop
4. Select the downloaded .zip file -> then click Open
5. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical *Note that on any files that say "File already exists on your PC" that start with an "@" symbol are the ones that came preloaded inside of NinjaTrader so you would say "No" so that you do not override those files.

Below is a link to the help guide on importing.
