Hello robje737,


Thank you for your post.


Please follow the instructions below to see where the errors are coming from after compiling the indicator. This will allow you to debug the indicator/strategy or remove it from your PC. If you are wondering why you receive an error when compiling only one indicator, it is because NinjaTrader always compiles all indicators and strategies - not just one. This is done to give you the highest runtime performance possible.

• Open NinjaTrader
• From the Control Center select the Tools menu--> select the Edit NinjaScript menu item--> select Indicator
• Select any indicator and double click on it (we need only to open and compile one script to see all compile errors for all files).
• A new window will appear and you will need to right click in the window and select Compile to compile the indicators.
• At the bottom of the window a new section will appear where you can find the error locations.
• From there you have the option to comment out offending code sections, remove the complete indicator or debug it to be able to compile again.

If the errors messages refer to certain indicators, you could remove the indicators in question by going to the following directory:



Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\ folder

or

Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\indicators\ folder


Finding the indicator and deleting it from the folder will remove the indicator from NinjaTrader. After removing the indicator, you can compile to see if the errors are resolved.


If the error messages refer to a reference .dll file. This indicates you are missing some required reference DLL's or have corrupted ones listed - please follow the steps below to rectify the errors.
To resolve reference errors:

• Right click in the code section of the NinjaScript editor.
• In the context menu click on 'References'
• In the Reference dialog, if a reference to the noted DLL files exists already then select the DLL's which are giving errors one by one and click on the 'Remove' button.

After removing, add back the reference with the right path :

• In the Reference dialog, Click on the 'Add' button.
• Select all the missing DLL's (located in the Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\ folder or in the NinjaTrader installation folder, typically C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 7\bin64) one by one and then click 'Ok'. [Please adjust if needed for 32 bit setup]
• Compile the indicator now by pressing F5.
• The issues should be resolved and your NT should be again in properly compiled state
