Dear NinjaTrader User:

NinjaTrader 7.0.1000.7 is compatible with Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1. Please thoroughly read the information on this page prior to installing.

• You can skip directly to Step 1 below if
  • This is your first NinjaTrader installation
  • You are upgrading from version 7.0.1000.3 Beta or later.
• If you are upgrading from version 7.0.1000.2 or earlier please continue reading and DO NOT uninstall NinjaTrader prior to running through the installation steps to follow.
• Migrating from NinjaTrader 6.5? Read the migration guide.

If you are currently using any commercial 3rd party partner indicators or strategies we advise you contact the partner prior to upgrading to obtain NinjaTrader 7.0.1000.3 or later compatible versions of their products. There is a high likelihood that any 3rd party product you are using in NinjaTrader 7.0.1000.2 or earlier will not work (incompatible) with NinjaTrader 7.0.1000.3 and any future NinjaTrader version.

The NinjaTrader 3rd party partner base is over 220 strong and growing every day. This thriving ecosystem of innovative applications allows you to extend the NinjaTrader application to fit your needs ensuring you get the most out of your NinjaTrader investment. Our partner program would not have been possible without the ability for our partners to protect their IP (Intellectual Property) from reverse engineering attempts. To ensure that our users continue to have access to a broad base of custom indicators and strategies we have introduced a change in how IP is protected. We changed the vendor that provided us with the technology to protect our IP. As such 3rd party products protected with the old technology needed to be updated to be protected by the new vendor as well in order to be compatible with NinjaTrader 7.0.1000.3 or later.
