Import Failed Error
Step 1: Ensure Previous Versions are Removed First
NEVER drop files manually into your NinjaTrader documents folder.
This will cause a problem with importing!
Ignore this next step and skip to the next if this is your first time importing.
- Remove any old version you have of The Predator X Order Entry
- Remove PredatorIndicators
- Do NOT Remove Elite Licenser (This was required for previous versions but we have updated and this is no longer the case so no need to remove)
If you removed Elite Licenser by accident, no worries.
It will re install when you import Order Entry or Pullback.
Check Pre Existing Compilation Problems
If everything is removed and still giving you problems:
- Go to your NinjaTrader control panel → New → NinjaScript Editor → Right click in the middle of the new window → Compile.
If it shows any orange errors on this page → These must be resolved first. - If they are from another 3rd party indicator → reach out to the developer. They will have to be removed or fixed.
- If they say Predator X Order Entry. Send an email to support@tradesaber.com with a screenshot of the ERRORS and a screenshot of Tools → Remove NinjaScript assembly
No Errors? Move on to the next step.
Upgrade To The Latest Version Of NinjaTrader
Upgrade to the latest version of NinjaTrader.
- Go to your NinjaTrader control panel → Help → About.
- Confirm your version number matches this one: NinjaTrader Download
- If not, please upgrade to the latest version.
- If you are already on the latest version or cannot upgrade to the latest for whatever reason.
- Open the installer for your same current version to run the NinjaTrader Repair.
Some much older versions or ‘cracked’ version of NinjaTrader may be incompatible with the Predator X.
If still an issue. Move on to the final step.
OneDrive Error
OneDrive in NOT compatible with NinjaTrader and the cause of many Import Related errors. Symptoms may vary from user to user but OneDrive errors are very common NinjaTrader.
Symptoms Include:
- ‘Import Failed. The NinjaScript Archive File may contain duplicate method names’ error message when importing.
- Unhandled Exception and NinjaTrader shuts down.
- Check your Log Tab for a similar message: C:\Users\admin\OneDrive\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\tmp\Import\Backup
- Can NOT import ANYTHING. Try importing a different product. If it gives problems as well, then very likely a OneDrive issue.
How To Fix: (Clean Install will remove all exsisting products. It will be like starting over)
- The most common way to fix is to do a complete clean install of NinjaTrader.
- Close all running applications.
- Navigate to your Documents folder > Right-click on the ‘NinjaTrader 8’ folder > Rename > rename the folder to ‘NinjaTrader 8 OLD’. DO NOT delete this folder.
- Uninstall NinjaTrader within Windows Control Panel.
- Navigate to C:\ > Program File (x86) > Delete the ‘NinjaTrader 8’ folder if it exists
- Disable OneDrive.
- Reboot your PC.
Then reinstall
- Login into the NinjaTrader Account Dashboard
- Click “Download” in the bottom left-hand corner of the sidebar
- Once the installation had downloaded, ensure any previous version of NinjaTrader is closed before running the installation package.
I always recommend to reach out to NinjaTrader support(support@ninjatrader.com) before restarting everything. They may be able to offer another solution.
TradeSaber is NOT NinjaTrader support. However, the above is often the best and fastest solution to this issue.
