How to transit labels to another laptop

[harrytrader1]

I have labels on the intraday charts for 500+ days and I use this info when I trade (example attached). Now I need to move to the new laptop and don't know how to transit my labeling without redrawing by hand. Is it possible? I'm NT8 user.

Hello harrytrader1,


Thank you for your post.


To transfer all of your chart settings, I would recommend creating a backup, transferring that file to your other PC then restoring settings after installing NinjaTrader. You can use a flash drive to transfer the backup file from one computer to the next.


Backup & Restore
Please follow these steps to create a Backup Archive:




1. Disconnect from all connectivity providers (if connected) and from within the Control Center window select the Tools menu. Then select the menu Export and the menu item Backup File...




2. The "Backup NinjaTrader" dialog window will appear




3. Select the items you wish to back up




4. Press the "Export" button




Now copy the backup file to a flash drive or email it to yourself to have access to the backup file in the new computer.


1. From within the Control Center window select the Tools menu. Then select the menu Import and the Backup File... menu item


2. Select the backup archive to restore from the "Restore" file dialog window




3. Press the "Restore" button




4. Select the items you wish to restore




5. Press the "Import" button




You will now be presented with a status bar indicating the estimated time and progress of the import.



Below I have provided a link to the Backup and Restore section of our help guide.
