Simple Strategy Order being ignored

[hotsalami]

I am having an issue with a very simple strategy where the order is not being executed.I keep on getting the error

" An order placed at '5/15/2016 3:01:00 PM' has been ignored since the order was submitted before the strategy property BarsRequiredToTrade had been met."

The strange thing is the date that it uses is '5/15/2016 3:01:00 PM' and not the current date 5/19/2016. Does anyone know why it uses '5/15/2016 3:01:00 PM'?

I am using Ninja 8 beta 11 so it might be a bug.

Hello hotsalami, and thank you for your question.

It is possible, if you are not excluding State == State.Historical, that the strategy is being run over historical as well as realtime data. I would recommend adding the following to the beginning of your OnBarUpdate method to see if it resolves your query.

[FONT=Courier New]if (CurrentBar < BarsRequiredToTrade)
{
    return;
}[/FONT]

Please let us know if there are any other ways we can help.

Thanks NinjaTrader_JessicaP. I will use your code to check for this condition

Specify a smaller number for BarsRequiredToTrade, or else check for validity of the condition and use it to gate your entry.
