Not working? Common errors+
Error 0x800711C7 when compiling (“An Application Control policy has blocked this file”). It is Windows 11 Smart App Control, which blocks everything NinjaTrader compiles, not only QuantFlow. Turn it off in Windows Security → App & browser control → Smart App Control settings → Off, restart NinjaTrader and import again. Once it is off, Windows may not let you turn it back on without reinstalling.
“You have custom NinjaScript files on your PC that have programming errors”. Another of your scripts doesn’t compile, and NinjaTrader imports nothing until it is fixed. Open New → NinjaScript Editor, press F5, and fix or move out of Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\ the files with errors. Then import again.
QuantFlow shows twice under New, or messages are sent twice. You have the code of an older version, bin\Custom\AddOns\QuantFlow.cs, besides the add-on. Delete it, compile with F5 and restart NinjaTrader.
Windows won’t open the zip. Do the Unblock step. If Windows Security quarantined it: Virus & threat protection → Protection history, open the entry and allow it. Always download it from QuantFlow.
I can’t see a Sim account. They are ignored by default: tick Incluir cuentas de simulación (Sim101) and click Guardar. Playback and Backtest are never sent.
What each window status means+
| Status | What to do |
|---|---|
| Conectado · último envío HH:MM:SS (connected · last sent) | Nothing: it works. |
| Guardado or En marcha (saved / running) | Connect an account in NinjaTrader. |
| N en cola (N queued) | Messages waiting. With a connection, the number drops on its own. |
| Falta el token / Token no válido (token missing / invalid) | Paste the current token from Import and click Guardar. |
| Sin conexión con QuantFlow (no connection) | Check the internet or firewall. Messages wait on disk and go out by themselves. |
| Mensaje rechazado (message rejected) | It is dropped so the rest aren’t blocked. If it repeats, contact support. |
| Revisa account: Ninja tiene X y QuantFlow Y (Ninja has X, QuantFlow Y) | Check the position in NinjaTrader. It usually happens after trading with the add-on removed. |
| Revisa account: symbol cerrada sin QuantFlow… (closed without QuantFlow) | It closed while the add-on wasn’t watching: close it by hand in the journal. |
| Error al guardar / Error al leer la configuración (error saving / reading) | Check the permissions of Documents\NinjaTrader 8\QuantFlow or the antivirus. |
What it sends and how to remove it+
It sends your trades (with partials, adds and reversals, the stop and target) and each account’s balance, day’s result and position. Each NinjaTrader account shows up in QuantFlow as its own account, created the first time with a 50K size until you change it. It sends from the moment you install it. QuantFlow doesn’t need to be open: NinjaTrader is enough.
It keeps the token and the outgoing queue in Documents\NinjaTrader 8\QuantFlow.
To remove it: Tools → Remove NinjaScript Assembly… → QuantFlow_NT8. To make the token stop working, click Generate a new token in Import. What is already in QuantFlow is not deleted.
One EA per account, on any chart. It sends every position and never trades.
