NinjaTrader Isolated installations<\/h1>\n

If you have to develop much in\u00a0NinjaTrader 8<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0<\/span>or want to test\/download\/import different indicators,strategies or addons , you will see that all indicators are placed in one instance of platform, causing to increase the load of NinjaTrader.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The solution is to create several different (isolated) instances (so, each instance will have it’s own folders in My Documents<\/code>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Method 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a new shortcut of NinjaTrader 8 on your desktop and name it to i.e. NinjaTrader- my-instance<\/li>\n
  2. Right click -> Properties<\/code>\u00a0and in target path, choose:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n
    \"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\NinjaTrader 8\\bin64\\NinjaTrader.exe\" \/d \"C:\\Users\\MyUsername\\Documents\\NinjaTrader 8.dev\"<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
    Method 2<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n
    You can use a very basic app to create NinjaTrader isolated instances<\/strong>\u00a0 (which creates different Custom<\/code><\/strong>\u00a0folders and loads only one before starting of NT).\u00a0 So, now you can create isolated instances and import different indicators & DLLs in different instances. App has a simple GUI:<\/p>\n
