Troubleshooting

Import Failed

If the import fails, make sure you're importing the .zip file directly without extracting it first. NinjaTrader expects the compressed zip file.

License Invalid Error

If you see a license error:

  • Double-check that you copied the complete license key (including the S- prefix)
  • Verify your subscription is active in your Whop dashboard
  • Make sure you're using your License Key (S-xxx-xxx-xxx), not your Membership ID

Indicators Not Appearing

If indicators don't appear after import:

  • Restart NinjaTrader 8
  • Check the Log tab in NinjaTrader's Control Center for any errors
  • Try re-importing the zip file
