Hello smtraderca,

Thank you for your note.

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 New menu--> select NinjaScript Editor
• Right-click in the window and select Compile to compile all NinjaScript objects
• At the bottom of the NinjaScript Editor window, a new section will appear where you can find the error locations
• You can exclude the file referenced in the editor by double-clicking on the appropriate object type on the right of the NinjaScript Editor window. This will expand the object type folder. You can then select the file with a left-click--> right click on the object--> then select Open to begin debugging the file, Exclude From Compilation, or Remove to delete the file.

If you are unsure as to what the error is indicating, please send me a screenshot of the NinjaScript File column and Error column fully visible (not to be confused with the Code column)

• To send a screenshot with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using Window's, Snipping Tool.
  • Click here for instructions
• Alternatively to send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screenshot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

Hello smtraderca,

Thank you very much for the screenshot.

As Eric is currently out of the office I am following up on his behalf.

This error indicates that NinjaTrader is missing a DLL file for this script. To resolve this, please right-click the editor's background and select "References".

Once open, please click on "Add" and search for a file associated with the indicator. This would likely be called NinZaHorizontalLabel_NT8.dll. Once this file has been added, please re-compile, as this should then remove the error.

Should this not work, or if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to let us know!
