When trying to import a zipped indicator file I get and error saying I have an error in a custom indicator that has to be fixed before I can import a indicator.
How do I find the indicator that is the problem?

go to tools > edit ninjascript > indicator. open any indicator and press f5. then on the bottom left it should show you the file (indicator) with errors.

I am getting this same error.

I have no custom indicators loaded in NT.

Where on my computer do I look for these indicators so I can delete them?

Does this mean I can't have a non-compiled indicator anywhere on my computer?

Thank you,

A custom indicator could either be an open source code indicator that resides in the same folder as your system indicators or could be a compiled .dll in your Custom folder. Follow the instructions in post #4 to find what indicator has the errors.

Thank you,


(1) First identifiy the offending indicators as per post # 4
(2) If the identified trouble maker is an indicator delete it via Tools -> Edit NinjaScript -> Indicator
(3) If the trouble maker is an assembly (compiled indicator) you will need to

(a) if it can be done, remove the offending NinjaScript assembly via File -> Utilities -> Remove NinjaScript Assembly

(b) only if (a) does not work:

-> close NinjaTrader
-> remove the files of the offending assembly within the folder My Documents -> NinjaTrader 7 -> bin -> Custom
(to be precise: do not remove any folder, do not remove the files starting with "NinjaTrader", do not remove thefile AssemblyInfo.cs, do not remove the files relating to other assemblies)
-> restart NinjaTrader and remove the references to the assembly

To remove the references go to Tools -> Edit NinjaScript -> Indicator, open any indicator, right-click somewhere on that indicator and select "References", then delete the reference to the offensive assembly.

Then check again, whether the problem was solved.
