Hi Patrick

I need to update my NT 8 to the newest version, However I have saved templates which contain certain indicator settings that i don't want to lose. Can I import these templates back into NT 8 after the update has taken place? What do I need to do in order to keep the current indicator settings?

Thank you!

Hello zoetuck,

Thanks for the post.

If you update by running the newest installer the templates will be preserved in the ..\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\templates\Chart folder.

To make a backup of your templates, you can export a backup file using these steps. You can then import a backup if you ever need to.

Please let me know if I can assist further.

Thanks for clarifying that, Chris!
