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 will load the problem file and highlight the problem area
• Click on the error code to bring up Help Documentation on a specific error

The image below illustrates a compile error:

1. Section where compile errors are displayed. Errors in the current loaded file are color coded a light color while errors in other files have a darker color code.

2. The file that contains the error

3. A description of the error

4. A error code link that will open the Help Guide with any relevant error code information

5. Line number and column number of the error
