Hello Irukandji,

Thank you for the message.

This behavior should be resolved after updating NinjaTrader and renaming the database file.

1. Please follow the steps below to update to the most recent version of NinjaTrader 8, version 8.1.4.2:

• Login into your NinjaTrader Account Dashboard
• Click "Download" in the bottom left-hand corner of the sidebar
• Select "Download" in the "Most Recent Release" section
• Once the installation is downloaded, ensure any previous version of NinjaTrader is closed before running the installation package.

2. After updating, please use the following steps to rename the database file so NinjaTrader automatically creates a new one:

• Close NinjaTrader
• Go to Documents folder > NinjaTrader 8 > db > NinjaTrader.sqlite, right-click on this file and select 'Rename' and change the name to "NinjaTrader Old.sqlite" and then click off of it anywhere to save the name change
  • Please click here for a video demonstration of how to rename the Database file

3. After completing the update and renaming the database, you can log into the platform using the same username and password as your NinjaTrader Account Dashboard.

• Note: Updating NinjaTrader Desktop will not affect any custom configurations, workspaces, or add-ons.
• A visual walkthrough of the update process may be found here in our Help Center.

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