First of all, i want to say thanks to the incredible team of Ninjatrader to give us a such a great and powerful tool to trading the markets.
Maybe my problem is simple but i've been searching about it and cannot find a solution.
I created a FXCM Demo account, to test the Ninjatrader 8 software and learn how to use it, but even if i start backtesting or optimizing a simple strategy it appears an error "Strategy 'HMACruce/-1': An order placed at '02-01-2019 1:30:00' has been ignored since the order was submitted before the strategy property BarsRequiredToTrade had been met.", and gives weird results like you can see on the screenshot i shared.
If i test with the Sample MA Crossover strategy from the platform, don't appears the error but the weird results are there.
This is a fresh installation, i don't changed any setting.
There is a problem with my demo account? The instalation is corrupted? There is an additional setting that must to be done? I appreciate any help.
Logic of the strategy of the screenshot
