To install a FlowBots product or add-on, follow these steps:
- Download the .zip NinjaScript add-on file from the FlowBots website (link). There is no need to unzip the file. This file is also used to update to a new version.
- Open NinjaTrader and go to the Control Center window.
- In the Control Center, navigate to Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-On....
- Select the downloaded .zip file.
- Accept all confirmations that may appear.
- Restart NinjaTrader to complete the installation process.
During the installation or update, click "Yes" even if NinjaTrader informs you that there is a newer version installed.
Ninjatrader made a really cool video explaining how to install add-ons, indicators or strategies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4ntaVF9mKI
If the standard installation process does not work, you can try an alternative manual installation method:
- Close NinjaTrader.
- Open the downloaded zip file, which has a name like
ProductName-1.X.X.X-xxxxx.zip
, and copy theProductName.dll
(and all.dll
files) to\Documents\Ninjatrader 8\bin\Custom
. - Click "Yes" to replace the old file if prompted.
- Open NinjaTrader and click "Yes" to all warning messages.
- Verify that you have the latest product version.
After completing these steps, the product is ready to use.
It is important to note that every time a NinjaScript add-on is installed, NinjaTrader recompiles the entire script library. If there is an error, no products can be installed until the issue is resolved. To troubleshoot compile errors, open the NinjaScript Editor (Control Center > New > NinjaScript Editor), right-click in the background and select "Compile" to view any errors. Errors shown in orange must be fixed before add-ons can be imported or removed. If the errors are not listed in the NinjaTrader documentation, you should contact the add-on developer.
