Connection Problem with TradeStation .ELD version

[NinjaTrader_Kyle]

shutson,

Sorry to hear of your frustration - I was simply trying to confirm that the reinstall occurred as directed. (which it seems that it did)

Please send a note to Support [AT] NinjaTrader [DOT] com with 'ATTNL Kyle' in the subject line.

In the message, include the following:
1.) A link to this forum thread.

2.) Your phone number and availability for a call where I can login to your system to resolve the issue.

shutson,

When starting NinjaTrader after reinstalling, you were prompted to enter a license key.

Please confirm or deny.

CONFIRM OR DENY! WTF is this, customer support or an interrogation?

When trying to open NT I am prompted for a license key.

shutson,

Not sure what you mean by 'I never got to that stage'.

What I was asking you to do was uninstall/reinstall NinjaTrader and TS, then re-configure the connection and re-apply the strategies.

When starting NinjaTrader for the first time after reinstalling, you should have been prompted to enter a license key if the uninstallation was completed as per the directions. What I'm trying to determine is whether or not you were prompted to enter this code.

Also, if you can clarify for me whether or not other versions of NT are installed on your PC, that would be great.

Only NinjaTrader 6.5 installed on my computer.

The ELD file, that I suspect serves like a dll to move data to NinjaTrader from Tradestation, is supposed to be imported into TS from the NT sub-directory. Presumably, if the ELD file will not import to my TS platform, what happens with NT is irrelevant.

Are there any other versions of NinjaTrader on your PC?

I never got to that stage. I first tried to import the problem ELD file into TS

shutson,

Did you uninstall/reinstall all versions of TradeStation as well, or only NinjaTrader?

I only had one version of Tradestation on this computer and yes, in uninstalled and reinstalled it.

shutson,

We recommend this step to ensure that you are not loading a cached version of the installation package. With that said, you may skip this step if you would like.

Just did the uninstall/reinstall and I'm getting the same Version # error message

Hello shutson,

Thank you for your post.

Please uninstall and reinstall all versions of TS and NinjaTrader that exist on your PC. If the issue persists after reinstalling, please let me know.

Please follow the steps listed below to completely uninstall and reinstall NinjaTrader:

1. Close all running applications.
2. Then from the Start menu select --> Control Panel --> Add and Remove Programs.
3. From Add and Remove Programs select NinjaTrader 6.5 and click Remove.
4. Then manually delete the folder "NinjaTrader 6.5" located under Start --> My Documents.
5. Delete any NinjaTrader installation files. This can be done by going to Start --> My Computer --> Search button --> search for (NinjaTrader*) --> select Local C Disk and then press search.
6. Then you will need to clear your internet browser cache and history. You will clear this from within your internet browser (with IE, Tools-->Options, delete cookies and files, clear history).
7. Reboot your machine.
8. Once these steps are completed, download NT6.5 from the link below:
   Download

Please let us know if you are able to get up and running after the reinstall.

Will this work if I do not delete browser cache and cookies? Seems excessive.

Hi albruno,

It's the multiple versions of TS that are resulting in the issue here.

Unfortunately, I have no better solution to provide you with. This is the only known fix for the issue currently.

I am having the same problem. I have only TS 8.6 and NT 7 on my system. I previously had the issue with NT 6.5 and uninstalled and reinstalled NT 7.
