Exceeded Entry Signal Limits

[RiversideDude]

What does this error mean? I created a strategy with the wizard to open a long position and that's it. I uninstalled, deleted the directory and re-install NT 8 and it still happened.

Thanks!

Hello RiversideDude,

The error in your control center log indicates you strategy attempted to place a trade prior to the bars required. Please see the barsRequiredToTrade section of our helpguide for more information,

Barsrequiredtotrade:

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?barsrequiredtotrade.htm

The error listed in the output window about ignoring order submissions is related to how you’ve set up EntriesPerDirection and EntryHandlling, which I suggest you read more about the following two links,

Entryhandling:

Entriesperdirection:

Please let us know if any of this is unclear or you have any questions.

Still at a lost, I'm using the defaults and this is still happening. Also, this just started, is there a global setting for entries per direction and handling? Anything I could've changed to cause this?

Also, this is for NT8.

Thanks!!

I still can't get this to work. I took a screenshot of the properties and output window. I uninstalled, clean the directories and reinstall NT8. This was the very first time I tried to run a strategy.

Thanks!!

I think this has to do with historical bars being processed.

Thanks!!

Hello RiversideDude,

In my previous follow up I pointed out your strategy was trying to place a trade before bars required to trade was met, had you tried changing that to zero and retesting?

I look forward to your reply.
