Hello TazoTodua,

Thanks for your post.

I don't see this issue when I test on my end. I may suggest running a repair install from the latest installer, and if that doesn't help, to test again in a clean environment.

I'll include instructions for a clean environment test below.

Clean environment test

Creating a clean environment can be done by following the steps below:

1. Close NinjaTrader 8, and rename the "NinjaTrader 8" folder in My Documents to something like: "NinjaTrader 8 OLD"
2. Uninstall NinjaTrader from the Windows Control Panel and reinstall using the installer from http://ninjatrader.com/PlatformDirect
3. Create a new NinjaScript with that using statement and test for the same issue.

If you ever need to switch back to your original platform, you may do so by closing NinjaTrader and swapping the platform folder names.

For example, Close NinjaTrader and rename the new "NinjaTrader 8" folder to "NinjaTrader 8 NEW" and the "NinjaTrader 8 OLD" folder to "NinjaTrader 8." Then restart the platform. Simply put: NinjaTrader 8 will always load the "NinjaTrader 8" folder in My Documents.

If these steps do not help resolve your inquiry, please send me a message at platformsupport[at]ninjatrader[dot]com with the text "Attention Jim" and the thread URL. I would then like to arrange a time to get connected so we can take a closer look.

I'm happy to be of further assistance.

Hello,

I just installed NT8 and I am also getting the same error while compiling a script code shared by somenone.

Thanks,

mumbai59 It does not appear to be broken to me. Here's an example that compiles perfectly on 8.1.3.0. Note also that the original post was in 2018 so it's unclear if you're referring here to the latest version, which is 8.1.3.0.

I am using the latest version I downloaded a week ago. Am I supposed to download or add something else after installing NT8?

Hello Vijay,

Thanks for your notes.

I don't see this issue when I test on my end the same as QuantKey_Bruce noted.

If you see this behavior occurring with testing a third-party script, I suggest reaching out the the developer of the third-party script directly to inform them of the behavior.

You could remove the custom script you got from the third-party developer and test the code QuantKey_Bruce shared to see if the behavior persists.

Since this is an old forum thread, I suggest creating a new forum thread with a brief explanation of the behavior you are encountering along with the NinjaTrader version you are using and a reduced test script demonstrating the behavior.
