ERROR OCCURS WHEN INSTALLING: If you receive an error when importing the .zip file, then you will want to take a snapshot of the error and submit a ticket with NinjaTrader's Support.

Installation of .zip file Completed

It is always a good habit to relaunch your NinjaTrader just after importing a new .zip file. Shut down and exit your NinjaTrader. As NinjaTrader shuts down, a window will pop up giving you options to save or not save. You will need to select Y ES TO ALL . This will allow NinjaTrader to register the newly installed .zip file.
