Another contribution - NinjaTrader isolated instance creator

[ttodua]

We (developers) need to have separate instance for development and separate instance for testing the different DLL's and indicators... Till date, NT doesn't support that, and we have to manually create different copies of "bin/Custom" folder and rename them by hand everytime we need to start this or that instance.

So we created a simple application which creates separated new instances. Now, you can have different set of "Custom" folders for each instance, like:

MyInstance1  (the content of Custom Folder):

Custom/Indicators/A.cs
Custom/Indicators/B.cs
... etc

MyInstance2  (the content of Custom Folder):

Custom/myIndi1.dll
Custom/myIndi2.dll
Custom/Indicators/M.cs
Custom/​​​​​​​Indicators/N.cs
​​​​​​​...

You can get an idea from that and create something built-in (native) in Ninjatrader.

Thanks!

Hello TazoTodua,

Are you asking how to create an export environment?

Below is a link to a forum post where I have outlined this.

Or are you asking how to exclude open source files from compilation?

Hello TazoTodua,

To switch compilation environments you can either exclude files or change the settings environment folder as demonstrated in the link I provided.

You can have as many setting environment folders as you want. This is typically how I create videos with only a single script or export dlls.

Chelsea, renaming the folders manually by hand, is annyoing.

this app does all that automatically, in a single click. it was good you have tested it (it's open source VS project).
