Hi guys,
anybody else experienced the same problems? After one of the updates last year, i got problems with third party and custom made indicators. It causes many errors called .......





To get this errors fixed, you have to install a complete new system, otherwise it won´t work. A description you can see here, advised by the team
https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/ninjatrader-8/platform-technical-support-aa/1280910-update-to-8-1-2-1-ambiguity-between-strategy-indicator-and-strategy-indicator

BUT ....the f.... problem comes back again, always if i install a new third party add on!!!!

I think it could be, that while the installation process of the new indicator there comes up an error like this



...that there ist a newer version of the built in indicator, if you press "No" the indicator is not installed, if you press "yes", the above mentioned errors comes up, obviously the system then sees the indicator as a double.
BUT THAT MEANS ...!!! that no third or custom indicator is working ....unless the "version" used inside of an built in indicator is updated, but how to do this? They are not renamed, it must be something behind.

May be, that Ninjatrader may come up with an solution, but in the case not, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA to fix this problem for ourselves? It is a big issue, otherwise all my strategies are not running anymore.

The indicators i am talking about are, "SlopeEnhancedOP", "ICTFVG" ..and some more

EDIT: .....meanwhile!! If obviously depends how the system is setup, i tried it several times, to set it up completely new and then if you import the add-on and press always "No" then it might work....

Don't you have installed the same indicator twice, with two different file names?

Are you using "One Drive" on this computer?

One Drive and Ninjatrader do not play well together.

Also, open a ninjatrader editor , right click and select compile to get error list. Then, Right click and select references. If there are references to the problem indicators, try removing them. Compile and see if those errors disappear.

Yes i use one drive ...... interesting! I will try to change this

Doubles i dont have, ..... the problem is obviously if a indicator uses another built in indicator you will be asked during installation if you want to replace it.

If you press "yes" then there are anyhow two
of them in the system, but somewhere behind not visible and the error comes "Ambiguity...... etc.

So always press "No" for any of the questions then it should be Ok
