BarsRequiredToTrade

[heavy]

Getting message: An order placed at has been ignored since the order was submitted before the strategy property BarsRequiredToTrade had been met.

I was able to fix this.

Hello heavy,

Thank you for your reply.

Just so we've got a solution here in case another user runs into this issue, this is occurring because you have a BarsRequiredToTrade setting in your strategy but your strategy isn't checking to see if that requirement has been met in OnBarUpdate prior to sending orders. Orders sent before the requirement has been met will trigger this message in the log.

This can be avoided by adding a check in OnBarUpdate:

if (CurrentBar < BarsRequiredToTrade)
return;

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
