How to open NTBK file?
The most common problem when using NinjaTrader Backup Format is that a specific NTBK is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open NTBK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NTBK file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install NinjaTrader
In this case, you should first verify that the NinjaTrader application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing NinjaTrader into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support NTBK files.
Programs to open NTBK file
Remember to download programs supporting NTBK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NinjaTrader with NTBK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NTBK file to open in the NinjaTrader application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NTBK file with the NinjaTrader program.
Step 3. Update NinjaTrader to the latest version
If, despite the association of the NinjaTrader program with the NinjaTrader Backup Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the NinjaTrader, LLC page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NTBK file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the NTBK file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NTBK file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NTBK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NTBK file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NTBK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NTBK files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the NTBK file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NTBK to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NTBK file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
