Unable to Load ATM Strategy Template Error

[DayTrader12]

Hello support,

I have several custom ATM strategies for stops, and none of them are loading.
When I try to insert a ATM stop strategy or edit one of them I get the error message:

"Unable to load ATM strategy template from file 'C:\Users\username\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\templates\StopStrategy\OCO ES.xml'

Any way to fix this?

Thanks, and have a great day,

Hello DayTrader12,

Thank you for your post.

Do you find the file named "OCO ES" under Documents\NinjaTrader 8\templates\StopStrategy on your PC?
If so, please right click on the file > select Cut > then right click on your Desktop > select Paste. Finally, please test creating a new Stop Strategy.

Please let me know if this resolves the matter.

Hi Patrick,

I was able to find the file and cut and paste it to the desktop.
I was able to create a new stop strategy.
Does this mean my old templates are corrupt?

Thanks,

Hello DayTrader12,

Thank you for your response.

This would indicate the file was corrupted.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Patrick,

Can I open up the files and repair them using Visual Studio?

Or maybe I can view the settings and then recreate new ones.

I'll try that and let you know.

Try 8.0.7.0, a specific bug around re-saving over the top of an existing ATM template with a specific set of windows open was resolved that generated the below.

I tried searching for the CS0117 error in platform help.
Looking on the forums now, Thanks

Hello DayTrader12,

Thank you for your response.

Those errors should not be occurring and likely indicating missing or incorrect files.

Please let me if I may be of further assistance.
