IMPORT FAILED

Import failed. The NinjaScript Archive File may contain duplicate method names that already exist on your PC, modify a method signature that other scripts were dependent on, or be missing a required file...

If you see an error message similar to above during installation, it's most likely related to the way OneDrive is set up on your PC. OneDrive doesn't play nice with NT8.

To resolve this manually, unzip the contents of the CrossTrade NT8 Add-On zip file to the Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\ directory and restart NT8.

Don't forget to complete Step 3 before doing so.
