optimizing speeds

[Captain Jack]

Hi, problems with optimizing speed, gotten very slow.
Made the mistake of loading visual studio today and it messed with the .net framework.
I uninstalled it, and deleted the .net it put in.
My optimizing speeds are four to five times slower.
How can i run some checks on this?
Thanks very much!

Hello Captain Jack,

As I am unsure what you may have done with visual studio I could suggest doing a clean install to get the platforms files back to their normal state. I have included steps below to do a clean user folder which will replace all of the NinjaScript data with stock data. After doing that you can import any files that you wanted to use.

Use the following steps to create a clean user folder.
1. Exit NinjaTrader
2. Open the Documents folder
3. Rename the NinjaTrader 8 folder to NinjaTrader 8 Old
4. Download the installer from https://account.ninjatrader.com/download
5. Install the platform, this will create a new user folder.
6. Open the platform and import any of the items that you need

To revert back to your previous data use the following steps.

1. Exit NinjaTrader
2. Open the Documents folder
3. Rename the NinjaTrader 8 folder to NinjaTrader 8 Clean
4. Rename the NinjaTrader 8 Old folder to NinjaTrader 8

NinjaTrader looks for the folder named NinjaTrader 8 for your user data.
