Step 1b: QuantVue NinjaTrader Toolkit
Introduction to the Toolkit:
The QuantVue NinjaTrader Toolkit can be installed automatically or manually depending on the user's preference. This guide will be split up into Automatic and Manual sections.
For clarity, the Automatic installer will place the Tools, ATM template, and Workspace templates into their respective folders for you. For the manual install path, you will be importing the indicator/strategy assembly files one by one, then placing the ATM and Workspace template .xml files in the respective folders manually.
Automatic Installer:
If you would like to install manually, skip this section.
To download the automatic installer, please navigate to this link.
Open the "QuantVue NinjaTrader Script - Client Files" folder.
Open the "AUTOMATIC SCRIPT INSTALL (done for you)" folder.
Download the "QuantVue-NT-Toolkit-Installer-Windows.zip" file.
Unzip the file in your downloads folder.
Please be sure to exit out of NinjaTrader completely before continuing.
Double click the installer application.
Let the installer run and follow any on screen instructions.
If the installer completes successfully, all tools, ATMs, and workspaces have been installed on your system. Open NinjaTrader and begin using the QuantVue tools!
Note: If the installer detects OneDrive, it will warn you and install the toolkit to the default NinjaTrader directories. OneDrive is not supported by NinjaTrader and can cause many issues. If you open NinjaTrader and the QuantVue tools are not present, it is likely a directory issue cause by OneDrive. NinjaTrader's official stance on this matter is to unlink and remove OneDrive, then performing a clean installation of NinjaTrader. Step by step instructions can be found at this link.
Manual Installation:
If you installed with the automatic installer, skip this section.
To download the manual install files, please navigate to this link.
Open the "QuantVue NinjaTrader Script - Client Files" folder.
Download the "MANUAL SCRIPT INSTALL (do it yourself)" folder by clicking the kebob menu button and selecting download.
Unzip the downloaded file in your downloads folder.
Inside the unzipped folder you should have ATS, ELITE, and PRO folders.
Open NinjaTrader.
Open the import tool by clicking Tools -> Import -> NinjaScript Add-on
Using the popup import window, navigate to the folder that you unzipped.
In the ATS, ELITE, and PRO folders, there will be individual zip files. Using the popup import window, select the desired indicator or strategy and click open.
NinjaTrader will give you a popup confirmation when the import is complete.
Repeat the import steps until all the desired indicators and strategies have been imported.
Congratulations on installing the QuantVue NinjaTrader Toolkit. Add the tools to your charts and get to trading!
