upgrading from NT 6.5 to NT7, can I save Workspaces?

[Tasuki]

Hello,
I think I'm ready to try the NT 7 beta, but, if it's possible, I'd like to save my workspaces and indicators (I snagged a few useful ones from different sources over the years). However, I've been told that alot of stuff won't work in NT 7 that did work in NT 6.5.
So, newbie question: is it possible to transfer workspaces and indicators from 6.5 to 7, and if so, how does one do it?
Thanks,
Tasuki

Hello,

Thank you for your forum post.

Please see the following guides on what will transfer from 6.5 to 7 and the code breaking changes in NinjaTrader 7.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

6.5 and 7 on same computer???

Thanks, Brett. The guide didn't mention whether it's possible to have both NT 6.5 and NT 7 on the same computer. I don't mean operating at the same time, but just present and independently functioning on the same computer. It would be handy to be able to use 6.5 (which is familiar) sometimes, and then close it and open NT 7 when I've got all my settings, indicators, workspaces and templates created on 7 just like they were on 6.5. I've downloaded the setup file for NT 7. What happens if I install it? Will it wipe out 6.5, or can I still use 6.5 sometimes?
Thanks,
Tasuki

Hello,

Yes, you can have both on your computer. Just don't run them at the same time.
