new version of NT 8

[NinjaTrader_Clayton]

Hello designer01,

Thank you for the follow-up question.

You do not need to uninstall or remove the current version of NinjaTrader to perform the update. Simply make sure the NinjaTrader 8 platform is closed before you click on the downloaded Install/Update file to run it.

• Technically, the file that updates NinjaTrader would also install the platform if it wasn't on your computer yet.

Also, you don't have to backup your platform, but as with all things electronic, it is always a good practice to create a backup of your work before performing any big changes to your computer or NinjaTrader platform.

Please use the steps below to export a Backup file of your NinjaTrader platform:

• Go to the Control Center > Connections > disconnect from all active connections
• Go to the Control Center > Tools > Export > Backup File
• Check the following boxes to ensure you have a copy of all of your unique files:
  • Configuration files
  • Database file
  • NinjaScript files
  • Workspaces
  • Templates
• Click Export
• Save the file somewhere you can find
• After exporting, copy the file to a USB Flash Drive or send it to yourself in an email so that you always have a backup copy

Please see the link below for more information on exporting and importing a backup file:
