NT8 freezes after re-opening application.

[Botan626]

Hello,

My saved workspace includes 1 chart with build-in indicators only. When I re-open NT8, it opens the chart window, but after the connection is established, NT8 completely freezes when it starts calculating, only ending NT8 task in task manager helps to close it.

Already re-installed NT8 with deleting NinjaTrader 8 folder in the Documents.

Could we investigate this issue, please?

Hello, Josh.

I sent trace and log zips after last freeze, after that last freeze NT8 doesn't start at all, even after I rebooted my PC.

Another case happens when the chart seems to be working fine, but when I change the instrument, the platform freezes completely.

Botan626,

I reviewed you log and trace files. Can you please try following the steps below to rename your database and see if the platform opens?

• In your Windows File Explorer, go to your \Documents\NinjaTrader 8\db\ folder
• Right click on NinjaTrader.SDF and select "Rename." *Name it "OLDNinjaTrader.SDF."
• Then try and start the software

Botan626,

Thanks for the screenshot.

With it hanging up like that on the licensing part of the NT8 Splash that makes me think this could be related to the configuration file. Lets try renaming that file by following the steps below.

• In your Windows File Explorer, go to your \Documents\NinjaTrader 8\ folder
• Right click on Config.xml and select "Rename." *Name it "OLDConfig.xml"
• Then start the software and NinjaTrader will create a fresh Config file to use

Update.

I accidentally sent the "trace" folder to the recycle bin, this was the cause to NT8 not starting.

During the weekends and Monday there was no significant issues, in other words I can't quite reproduce the problem, so I will just keep on monitoring situation for now.
