ninjascript files have programming errors

[joemiller]

when trying to import a custom indictor I got an error message saying ''you have custom ninjascript files on your pc that have programming errors. those errors must be resolved before you can import a ninjascript archive file''.

what is the best way to resolve the issue?

Hello joemiller,

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 post a screenshot of the error with the name and description fields clearly readable.

thanks Jason.

I have determined that the problem is that a ''metadata'' file cannot now be found by a
custom indicator.

probably a result of the following ...
my computer crashed two weeks ago and I'm told some files were lost.

please tell me how to set up a remote control session with tech support so you can help me resolve this issue.

PROBLEM SOLVED, no further action requried

my computer crashed two weeks ago. restoration resulted in some folder and file displacements - one of which was folder ninjatrader 7 in my documents folder.
moving folder ninjatrader 7 to its expected location fixed the problem.
