[jeronymite]

In NT 8.0.27.1, opening the Instruments window and clicking the dropdown Search, the following is displayed:



In NT 8.1.1.0, the same action displays this:



Why are most of the menu items missing in NT 8.1.1.0?

Thanks.

Hello jeronymite,

Thank you for your post.

Resetting your instruments should resolve this item. To reset your instruments, please take these steps:

1. Disconnect from any data providers by navigating to the Control Center > Connections menu, and left-click on “disconnect” that appears to the right when hovering your mouse over any active connection
2. Reset your instruments by navigating to the Control Center > Tools > Database Management
3. In the Database Management window, under the “Update instruments” section, ensure that “General properties”, "Futures expiries" and “Symbol mappings” options are checked and then click Update
4. Restart NinjaTrader

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Thanks, NinjaTrader_Eduardo. That fixed it. May I suggest it should not need that action -- it should work "out of the box", given that Instruments of all Instrument types are displayed already.

Thanks.

Of course it should. 101. Just more waste of Users time. It’s expected behaviour
