This article answers whether you need to reinstall Replikanto after you update NinjaTrader 8.
No, starting with Replikanto 1.7.0.0. One Replikanto build runs on every NinjaTrader 8.1.6 or later, so updating NinjaTrader does not require reinstalling or re-downloading Replikanto. It keeps working after the NinjaTrader update, with no reconfiguration.
Why this changed
Replikanto 1.6.1.7 and earlier used a third-party grid library (Infragistics) that ships with NinjaTrader and changes between NinjaTrader releases, so each Replikanto build only worked on a range of NinjaTrader versions. Starting with 1.7.0.0, the follower and remote-node grids were rebuilt in house without that library, so a NinjaTrader update no longer breaks Replikanto.
If you are on Replikanto 1.6.1.7 or earlier
The old rule still applies to those versions: each build supports a range of NinjaTrader versions, shown as "for NinjaTrader X+" (for example, Replikanto 1.6.1.7 is built for NinjaTrader 8.1.7+ and works on NinjaTrader 8.1.8 with no reinstall). If NinjaTrader is updated beyond that range, Replikanto stops loading.
Instead of tracking that range, update to Replikanto 1.7.0.0 or later once (it requires NinjaTrader 8.1.6 or later; on an older NinjaTrader, update NinjaTrader first):
- Download the latest Replikanto .zip file from the FlowBots downloads page. It is one file for every NinjaTrader 8.1.6 or later.
- Install it via Control Center > Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-On.
- Restart NinjaTrader.
After that, NinjaTrader updates no longer require a Replikanto reinstall.
Column layouts reset once after updating to 1.7.0.0 or later
The first time you open Replikanto 1.7.0.0 or later, the follower and remote-node grids start with the default column layout: saved column widths, order, visibility and sort order reset once. Your followers and the rest of your settings are kept. Arrange the columns again and save the workspace.
