Batch NinjaScript import and option to disable warning

[Elliott Wave]

Now that I've updated to 6.5, I've downloaded the new indicators Josh compiled and I'm finding it unnecessarily laborious to import them.

Having the option to select and import multiple indicators at once would turn this 30 minute task into a 1 minute task.

Furthermore, after importing around 50 NinjaScript files, I'm well aware of the risks, please give me the option to disable the warning that comes up each and every time.


thanks and great work on 6.5 btw

Thanks for your suggestions. We'll add them to the list of future considerations.

Can I simply drag the files into the
'My Documents\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\Custom\Indicator' folder?

This would be a lot quicker, but I thought I'd ask first in case it could cause problems...

That procedure is not recommended since you could potentially mess things up in the process.

Thanks for the warning. I also found out that its not the best idea to open the NinjaTrader.Custom.csproj file with Visual C# 2008. I thought it was an example project, oops!

The reason I was asking was because I wanted to import all the recent example indicators/strategies you've posted, but it takes a looong time.

Is it possible to make a single .zip with all the examples that could be imported in a single step?

In the meantime I'm using VC# 2008 to look at the code.

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Here you go. I believe it contains all of them.

[Elliott Wave]

That was fast!

It might make sense to do the same with the file sharing area.

This would save a lot of time whenever indicators are recompiled for new versions, and would be great for new users who want to get started as quickly as possible...

I second this..
I downloaded about 15 indicators yesterdays and had to spend over half an hour to import them.

Please ad Batch Import to next release please.
