 How to close Ninja Trader
Avoid closing the individual chart windows when closing your workspace. To properly close Ninja Trader 7 or Ninja Trader 8, locate and open the control center window, then click the "X" at the top right. Alternatively, you may select FILE at the top left corner of the control center > EXIT. After you have done this, it will ask if you would like to save your workspace; select "YES TO ALL" to save the preexisting workspace as is. When you relaunch your Ninja Trader application, it will populate your workspace and indicators precisely as it was when you closed it.
