NinjaScript compile errors caused by FlowBots DLLs

If you are developing add-ons or indicators for NinjaTrader, FlowBots product DLLs can cause compilation errors that disrupt your development. This article explains how to resolve these build error issues by managing assembly references in the NinjaScript Editor.

Understanding the Issue

When you develop custom indicators or add-ons for NinjaTrader, the NinjaScript compiler may encounter conflicts with FlowBots assembly references. These conflicts manifest as compilation errors that prevent your own projects from building correctly. Removing the FlowBots DLL reference from your project dependencies allows your code to compile without affecting FlowBots product functionality.

Remove the FlowBots DLL Reference

1. Open NinjaTrader if it is not already running.
2. Navigate to New > NinjaScript Editor.
3. Right-click anywhere inside the NinjaScript Editor window.
4. Select References... from the context menu.
5. In the References dialog, locate the FlowBots DLL that is causing the compile error.
6. Select the DLL and remove it from the references list.
7. Press F5 to recompile your library, or use the Compile menu option.

Identifying the Problematic DLL

The compilation error message typically indicates which specific FlowBots DLL is causing the conflict. Look for error details that mention a particular assembly name to identify which reference to remove.

What Happens After Removal

Removing the FlowBots DLL reference from your development project does not affect FlowBots product functionality. Your custom indicator or add-on will compile normally, and FlowBots products will continue to work as expected within NinjaTrader.
