Compile Errors

When compiling a custom indicator or strategy it is possible and likely that you will generate compile errors

• NinjaTrader will compile ALL NinjaScript files NOT only the file you are working on.
• A list of compile errors for all files will be displayed in the lower portion of the NinjaScript Editor.
• Double click on an error to load the problem file and highlight the problem area.
• Click on the error code to bring up Help Documentation on a specific error.
• Right click on the error to exclude the problem file from compilation (see the section on Excluding a script from compilation for more information).

The image below illustrates a compile error
