I just had a realization that I need to stay in touch with TS anytime I notice problems with strategy orders. I just got off the phone with them because this is the second or third time I had a strategy order rejected because the order is being sent milliseconds before the open of the market. Apparently you can add a few seconds to delay the order from being sent so you can make sure that the order is sent during market hours.

If anyone is reading this and knows how to do this I would be interested in learning.

I reposted this from my journal to get more eyes on it.

How does your strategy code send the order? For example "next bar" or "limit".

I called the tradedesk and they said i need to add a few second delay to the order but how to do this he did not know.
