Strategy running against IB not firing OnBarUpdate?

[ErikHR1969]

I am trying to run a simple strategy to test a strategy running against an IB connection. The real time bars are painting on the chart, but OnBarUpdate is not firing.

Code:

    public class PrintingStrategy : Strategy
    {
        protected override void OnStateChange()
        {
            if (State == State.SetDefaults)
            {
                Description                                    = @"Just used to print stuff";
                Name                                        = "PrintingStrategy";
                Calculate                                    = Calculate.OnBarClose;
                EntriesPerDirection                            = 1;
                EntryHandling                                = EntryHandling.AllEntries;
                IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy                = true;
                ExitOnSessionCloseSeconds                    = 30;
                IsFillLimitOnTouch                            = false;
                MaximumBarsLookBack                            = MaximumBarsLookBack.TwoHundredFiftySix;
                OrderFillResolution                            = OrderFillResolution.Standard;
                Slippage                                    = 0;
                StartBehavior                                = StartBehavior.WaitUntilFlat;
                TimeInForce                                    = TimeInForce.Gtc;
                TraceOrders                                    = false;
                RealtimeErrorHandling                        = RealtimeErrorHandling.StopCancelClose;
                StopTargetHandling                            = StopTargetHandling.PerEntryExecution;
                BarsRequiredToTrade                            = 20;
                // Disable this property for performance gains in Strategy Analyzer optimizations
                // See the Help Guide for additional information
                IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration    = true;
            }
            else if (State == State.Configure) {
                try {
                    Print("Account Info:");
                    foreach (Account Acct in Account.All) {
                        Print("Account: " + Acct.DisplayName.ToString());
                        if (Acct.Name != "xxxxxxxx") continue;
                        var enumValues = Enum.GetValues((typeof(AccountItem)));
                        foreach (AccountItem enumValue in (AccountItem[])enumValues) {
                            var Name = Enum.GetName(typeof(AccountItem), enumValue);
                            var Value = Acct.GetAccountItem(enumValue, Currency.UsDollar).Value;
                            Print(Name + ": " + Value);
                        }


                    }

                }
                catch {

                }
            }
        }


        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            Print(Time[0].ToShortDateString() + "," + Instrument.FullName);
        }
    }​

Hi Erik, thanks for posting. It looks like the strategy is not enabled. Go into its settings and check the Enabled check box then it should start printing out.

Kind regards,
