Load from alternate "\Documents\NinjaTrader 8" directory?

[neoikon]

I believe it is possible to modify a shortcut to open NinjaTrader using a different "\Documents\NinjaTrader 8" such as "\Documents\NinjaTrader 8 DEV".

Is this possible? If so, can you remind me?

Also, is it possible to designate the "db" location somewhere separate? It would be fantastic to be able to modify a configuration setting to have this in a separate location!

Thank you!

Hello neoikon,

Currently there is not an option to modify the directory of where NinjaTrader pulls information from such as templates, database, etc. and this would need to reside in Documents->NinjaTrader 8 directly.

After some digging, it seems you can create a windows shortcut, then modify the "Target" to be something like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 8\bin\NinjaTrader.exe" /d "C:\Users\<YOURNAME>\Documents\NinjaTrader 8 DEV"

"Start in" stays the same.

That solves part of my problem, though, it would be great if NT would allow you to designate the db folder's location, individually.

Thanks anyway...
