Labeled Horizontal Lines missing after update to 8.1.2.1

[mikestao]

I have several Labeled Horizontal Lines on my charts for price levels such as HOD and LOD etc. After the update they are missing. If I pull up Drawing Objects, there are none listed.
Also, if I create a new Labeled line and try to pull up its properties, is shows nothing (I want this line to show on "all Charts) so I have no way to modify the line.

Hello Mikestao,

Thank you for the message.

Please remember that the Labeled Horizontal Lines DO NOT come within the NinjaTrader Platform by default so this is a 3rd party add-on.

• 3rd Party Disclaimer

Please use the following steps to check if there are any compile errors as these can prevent an add-on from showing up like this.

Please use the steps below to check if there are any compile errors and if yes, respond with a screenshot of them so we may provide further steps to resolve them.

• Open NinjaTrader
• Go to the Control Center > New > NinjaScript Editor > Right-click on the background > Click Compile
• If any errors appear, make the window full screen and then send us a screenshot of as many of the errors as possible.
  • If you are unsure of how to take a screenshot, I recommend using the Windows Snipping tool.
    • Click on the Windows Icon at the bottom of your screen and type the word "Snip"
    • Click on the Snipping tool, click New, then click and drag around the area you want to screenshot
    • Click File > Save As > Save the screenshot where you can find it
    • Please click here for a video demonstration

Once we have the screenshot we will respond with the specific steps that are needed to make these compile errors go away.

Once the compile errors are gone, restart NinjaTrader and the add-ons should be working again.


We look forward to your response and resolving your inquiry.

Thank you for the reply. I will check for an updated indicator. Also, perhaps a suggestion, please add a Labeled Hotizontal Line to the default drawing tools.
Thanks again!

Hi,

I tried to run the compile in the Ninjascript Editor and got a lot of errors. Screenshot attached.

Hello mikestao,

Thank you for the update.

The compile errors here are not one of the easy 3 to fix, so if you would like further information on resolving these compile errors, please reach out to Support[AT]NinjaTrader[DOT]com with this screenshot and ask for further help and information.

The easiest fix would be to remove all the 3rd party add-ons to start fresh, and then reimport the few add-ons you want back in:

• Close NinjaTrader
• Go to the Documents folder > NinjaTrader 8 > bin, Right-click on this folder and Rename it to "bin Old" and press Enter to save the name change
• Now we need to Repair the NinjaTrader installation:
  • Go to the Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features > Click NinjaTrader 8 > Click Repair > Click Next through the prompts until finished
• Reopen NinjaTrader and check for compile errors using the steps below:
  • Go to New > NinjaScript Editor > Right-click on the background and Compile to show if there are any errors remaining
  • If yes, take a screenshot of the error messages and include that in your response.

Please let us know if we may provide any further assistance.

Ok thank you.
On a side note, is there an easy way to revert to the previous version, I believe it was 8.1.1.7?
