[2inthebush]

I'm receiving the following errors when attempting to import a ninjascript strategy, and I don't know how to proceed. Please see attached screenshot.

Hello 2inthebush,

Thank you for your inquiry.

These errors make it seem like perhaps you have a duplicate file installed somewhere in the NinjaTrader 8/bin/Custom folder. How did you install this strategy? Did you use the import utility at Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on?

If you look through all of the subfolders at NinjaTrader 8/bin/Custom folder, do you see duplicates of either the strategy's .cs file (BKVuManChuStrategy.cs) or a duplicate of a file called HeikenAshi8.cs anywhere? They'd likely be in the Strategies folder, Indicators folder, the Custom folder itself.

I look forward to your response.

Yes, I used the import utility at Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on.

I've searched throughout my local Ninjatrader 8 folder for HeikenAshi8.cs and BKVuManChuStrategy.cs. I only found one file of HeikenAshi8.cs, located in bin/custom/indicators. There are zero files named BKVuManChuStrategy.cs, or anything similar.

Hello 2inthebush,

Thank you for your reply.

Something with the way that this script is programmed or one of the files within the .zip assembly is causing this problem. It seems like it's conflicting with something that you already have installed. Is this assembly something that you received from a third party or that you created yourself?

If you open the .zip file for this script, what are the files that are within it?

I look forward to your response.

It's a third-party strategy, and it contains the following files:

BKVuManChuStrategy.cs
BKVuManChuStrategy.dll
Info.xml

I've resolved the issue by removing the file HeikenAshi8.cs

The file was included with this Heiken Ashi 8 indicator below. I don't need this indicator at the moment, so that's ok.

Hello 2inthebush,

Thank you for your reply.

We may be able to figure out where the conflict is coming from by manually installing the script.

You could manually install the .cs file from the .zip file and compile in the NinjaScript Editor to see if where the conflict is coming from.

• Navigate to (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Strategies.
• Copy the .cs file and .dll into this directory.
• Next, you will need to compile the indicator and check for errors.

Follow the instructions to compile the indicator. Note that you will not see your new indicator listed until after you compile your indicators. You will first need to select an existing indicator and compile these from there. This is because NinjaTrader compiles all indicators and strategies- not just one.

• Open NinjaTrader
• From the Control Center select the New menu--> select NinjaScript Editor
• Double click on the Indicators folder--> then double click on any of the indicators
• Once the indicator code is in view right click in the window and select References
• Select add
• Navigate to the 'Strategies' folder
• Locate BKVuManChuStrategy.dll
• Click "Open" to add the reference.
• Click "OK" and recompile.

Once you compile, you should be able to determine where the conflict is coming from by the errors that appear.

If you are unsure as to what the error is indicating, please send me a screenshot of the NinjaScript File column and Error column fully visible (not to be confused with the Code column)

• To send a screenshot with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using Window's, Snipping Tool.
  • Click here for instructions
• Alternatively to send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screenshot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.
  • Click here for detailed instruction

I look forward to your response.

Hello 2inthebush,

Thank you for your reply.

Happy to hear that you were able to figure it out and were able to isolate the conflict to that specific script.

[2inthebush]

Cool, thanks for the instructions. I'll keep those for future reference.

This issue is resolved at this point, so I'll move on. Thank you for your help.
