NinjaTrader Advisory Notice: CQG & Continuum Users Only HG and SI price format changes

#1

On August 9, 2014 CQG & Continuum internally updated their price format for the HG and SI instruments which require an update to the instrument definitions

  1. If you downloaded NinjaTraderâ„¢ 7.0.1000.25 on or before August 13, 2014 you are using an instrument database which
    holds the old instrument definitions for these instruments. If you had installed that release please uninstall it at this time
    using the directions below. Once uninstalled, you need to download and install the updated NinjaTraderâ„¢ release using the instructions below.
  2. If you did not upgrade your NinjaTraderâ„¢ installation to the current release previously, we do suggest that you update
    at this time.
  3. Please note that the NinjaTrader Historical Data servers will still record at the incorrect price format until our August 15,
    2014 maintenance window where we will correct the issue and restore the correct data.

Directions to Uninstall NinjaTraderâ„¢

From the Start menu select -> Control Panel -> Add and Remove Programs. From Add and Remove Programs select NinjaTraderâ„¢ 7 and click Remove.

Will we need our ninja trader license key for the re-install?

#3

We do not believe that you will need the key when doing this update. But, you should always keep your Ninja Key in a place where you can access it in case you even need it.

#4

If we uninstall Ninja Trader, will that delete all our saved workspaces?
