    Can I overwrite an indicator when importing a new version?

    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

      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.
