Standard DLL Installation Procedure

  1. Close NinjaTrader: Ensure the application is completely shut down so no files are "in use."
  2. Open File Explorer: Launch your Windows folder browser.
  3. Navigate to the Path: Go to Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\
  4. Paste the DLL: Move or copy your .dll file directly into this Custom folder.
  5. Restart NinjaTrader: Open the program again; it will automatically detect and load the new library from that specific folder during the startup sequence.
