Crash recovery

NinjaTrader crash recovery

When NinjaTrader closes unexpectedly, the real problem is not the crash itself. The risk is staying offline while a strategy, connection, or account needs attention.

Problem

Crashes should not turn into missed trades

Automated trading depends on NinjaTrader staying open, connected, and ready. A crash during a live session can leave strategies disabled, accounts disconnected, alerts silent, and the trader unaware until valuable time has already passed.

Recovery

How Ninja Watchdog handles a crash

Ninja Watchdog monitors the NinjaTrader process, starts recovery when the platform is no longer running, waits for the platform to become ready, reconnects the accounts that were previously connected, and re-enables strategies that should still be active.

FAQ

Questions about NinjaTrader Crash Recovery

Practical answers for traders using NinjaTrader automation on desktops, laptops, dedicated servers, or Windows VPS environments.

Can Ninja Watchdog restart NinjaTrader after a crash?

Yes. Ninja Watchdog relaunches NinjaTrader after a crash and then continues recovery by checking connections, platform readiness, and previously running strategies.

Does crash recovery work on a VPS and a local computer?

Yes. Ninja Watchdog runs on Windows desktops, laptops, dedicated servers, and Windows VPS environments as long as NinjaTrader can run in your Windows account.

What happens to my open positions during crash recovery?

Your working orders rest at your broker while NinjaTrader is down — Ninja Watchdog never cancels or modifies them. When your strategy is re-enabled, it picks up the position and orders it was managing and continues where it left off.
