One Drive and NinjaTrader

[jayfutures23]

Currently I have OneDrive connected and backing up my files. I have realized that my NT8 charts are taking alot longer to load. I was wondering if there is a process to remove OneDrive from backing/loading files, and go back to using my local hard drive....?

Hello,

Thank you for your note,


To resolve this matter, please redirect your Documents folder to a local hard drive on your PC, then reinstall NinjaTrader.

I have included a link outlining how to remap your Documents folder below.

Below I have included steps below to disconnect your Documents folder from OneDrive:

• Right-click on the OneDrive Icon on your Windows Taskbar
• Select 'Settings'
• Navigate to the Back-Up tab
• Select 'Manage Backups'
• Stop the backup on the Documents Folder
• Within your Documents folder in the File Explorer window double left-click on the 'Where are my files' shortcut
• Select all the files by hitting CTRL + A on your keyboard
• Right-click > Show more Options > Send To > Documents
• Wait for all files to be copied to your new Local Documents Folder

Then I would recommend reinstalling NinjaTrader.
I have included instructions on how to reinstall the NinjaTrader platform below. With this procedure, you will not lose any Workspaces, Charts, custom items, etc. You'll need a license key for this procedure, which I've included below. These steps won't affect your current license key (if different):

• @SIM-A82F-D583-40B1-AE74-B79F-705D-1952

Please follow these steps:

• Close all running applications.
• Make sure NinjaTrader is closed from the Windows Task Manager:
• Press CTRL + ALT + DEL on your keyboard > Start Task Manager...
• Then from the Start menu select --> Control Panel --> Add and Remove Programs or Programs and Features
• From Add and Remove Programs select NinjaTrader 8 and click Remove.
• Restart your PC.
• After NinjaTrader is uninstalled, navigate to the following folders and delete any "NinjaTrader 8" folders located here if any: C:\Program Files (x86)\
• or
• C:\Program Files\
• Note: Not the 'NinjaTrader 8' folder within your Documents
• Once these steps are completed, download and install NinjaTrader from the link below:
• https://ninjatrader.com/PlatformDirect (* This is where you will need to input your license key to download)

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.
