Hi joker23,

The error indicates your current NinjaScript files contain errors, which need to resolved first before you can import new NinjaScript files.

Please follow the instructions below to see where the errors are coming from after compiling any indicator or strategy. This will allow you to debug the indicator/ strategy or remove it from your PC. If you’re wondering why you receive an error when compiling only one indicator or strategy, it is because NinjaTrader compiles all indicators and strategies. Not just one.

1) Open NinjaTrader
2) From the Control Center -> Tools -> Edit NinjaScript -> Indicator
3) Select an indicator and double click on it.
4) A new window will appear and you will need to right click and compile the indicator.
5) At the bottom of the window a new section will appear were you can find the error locations. Double click the error and you will be directed to the location of the error.
6) From there you have the option to remove the indicator or debug it. You can delete NinjaScript files via Tools-->Edit NinjaScript-->Indicator/Strategy, highlight it and select Delete

You can find general debug information at the link below.

In addition, you can try the following workaround as well. Note that you will lose all custom and third party NinjaScript files.

Create a backup file with 'NinjaScript files' unchecked.

Uninstall NinjaTrader via the Windows Control Panel-->Add/Remove Programs (XP), Programs and Features (Vista).

Delete the My Documents-->NinjaTrader 6.5 folder. Do not delete the NinjaTrader backup folder.

Clear your browser cache and download and install NinjaTrader 6.5 at the link below.

Restore your settings and you should be able to import new NinjaScript files again.

Same Issue. Any Updated Info

Hello,

I have the same issue, but haven't downloaded any indicators and the links below no longer work. Any updated info you could provide?
Thanks,

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

Are you able to compile your indicators from the NinjaScript editor?

1. Open NinjaTrader
2. From the Control Center select the Tools menu--> select the Edit NinjaScript menu item--> select Indicator
3. 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).
4. A new window will appear and you will need to right click in the window and select Compile to compile the indicators.
5. At the bottom of the window a new section will appear where you can find the error locations.
6. 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.

This should tell you where the errors are coming from.

Same Issue. Cannot delete system indicators.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I can compile. When I try to delete the indicator, the window tells me it is a system indicator and cannot be deleted. I have multiple system indicators I have never used that are generating generating program errors.

Thanks for any help.
