Downloading a similar indicator

[dbennett3]

I'm trying to download a similar indicator to a previous one that I had but keep getting this error message. I've tried exporting the original indie in NT & renamed the new one in my download folder. Please help

Hello dbennett3,

Thank you for the message.

It would appear that the new NinjaScript has some similar references or items in it to a previously imported NinjaScript and it is preventing the new one from coming in. For example:

• There is already a NinjaScript in the platform that says X = 5
• The new NinjaScript references the same variable and says that X = 11
  • Since X can't equal both 5 and 11 at the same time, the platform doesn't let you import the NinjaScript and break things.

From here, you can:

• You could go to the Control Center > Tools > Remove NinjaScript Assembly
  • See if it is in here. If yes, click on it then click Remove
  • Wait for the prompt to say it is finished and then restart NinjaTrader
• If it wasn't in the list above, go to the Control Center > New > NinjaScript Editor
  • Click through all of the folders on the right side of the window and look for the Indicator and then right-click on it and Remove it
• Reach out to the developer of the old NinjaScript and ask them which files in there are specific to their add-on and where to remove them from.
• Reach out to the developer of the new NinjaScript and ask them what could be getting in the way and get their help removing the offending items.
  • 3rd Party Disclaimer
• Or, remove all of the 3rd party add-ons and restart fresh. Then reimport your add-ons back in 1-by-1 starting with the new one. Then, if the error appears again, you will know where the competing files were coming from.
  • Again, these steps will remove ALL of the 3rd party add-ons and you will have to reimport them from the .zip files again:
  • 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.
