error importing an indicator

[futuros]

"You have custom ninja script files on your pc that have programming errors. These errors must be resolved before you can import a ninja script achieve file"

How can I fix this? I have NT 7.0.1000.7 (last version)

Thanks,

Hello Futuros,

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 compiles all indicators and strategies- not just one.

Open NinjaTrader
From the Control Center select the Tools menu--> select the Edit NinjaScript menu item--> select Indicator
Select an indicator and double click on it.
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 were you can find the error locations.
From there you have the option to remove the indicator or debug it.

Let me know if this does the trick for you.

The problem is, the indicator that I was importing tried to replace StdDev and then Bollinger, at the end NT did not import the indicator and gave me an error. Now, I went to Bollinger and tried to compiled the indicator but is giving me an error too "Ninja Trader indicator StdDev is a ....CS0118 - click for info"

what should I do?

Patrick,

I am receiving the same error code and I can’t find to delete the indicator, because I’m not sure of the exact indicator causing the issue. Your video is helpful but.... I can’t resolve.

Hello euroventure,

Without investigating further I cannot say for certain that an uninstall of NinjaTrader will remedy this situation.

Error while importing indicator script

Hi All,

I have exactly the same problem as futuros describes above, as when I want to add an indicator archive file via file-->utilities-->import ninjascript it states:

'You have custom NinjaScript files on your PC that have programming errors. These errors must be resolved before you can import a NinjaScript Archive File.'

I am not aware of any custom ninjascript files running on my computer, how can I resolve this problem in order to be able to add new indicators (which I downloaded via the sharing page on this site, what a great feature by the way!!)

Hope somebody can help me out asap, thanks!

Hello Daan Pothof,

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 you are unsure as to what the error is indicating, please send me a screenshot of the error with the name and description fields clearly readable.

To send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screen shot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CRTL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your quick response! I did as you suggested and picked a random indicator from the list, after which I got the following error message trying to compile it.

I hope I attached the file correctly, if I did so, as you can see the it gives the following error codes; CS1518 (3times with lines 144,151,158 and columns 16) and CS1022.

I have no clue on how to solve this so I hope you can help me out.

Regards, Daan
