Strategy Message

No Entry Reject After Exceeded

Cannot enter a new {{ ticker }} position because the signal exceeded the {{ entryRejectAfter }}-second maximum age configured for entries, so TradersPost rejected it as stale.

This message means TradersPost rejected the proposed entry order for this signal because the signal was treated as too stale at the moment the check ran: more time had passed since the effective reference time (plus any Delay) than your configured maximum allows.

The reference time is either the time value in your webhook JSON when you include it (for example when TradingView or your strategy fired the alert), or when TradersPost received the webhook if time is omitted. Any Delay configured on the strategy or subscription is added to that reference before measuring elapsed seconds. The check runs after TradersPost has already communicated with your broker to gather the data needed to compute the proposed entry (for example quotes and positions for sizing and pricing). Right after that planning step, TradersPost compares elapsed time to your limit. If elapsed time is greater than the limit, the proposed entry is not kept in the trade plan and you see this message instead of an entry order ready for execution. This often appears when delivery is slow but you can reduce false rejects by sending an accurate time in the payload so staleness is judged from when the signal actually occurred, not only when the HTTP request arrived.

The limit comes from Reject entry if signal is older than on your strategy or subscription, and/or the rejectAfter field on the webhook when Allow signal overrides and/or Allow signal override for that setting permits it. See Reject entry if signal is older than and Allow signal entry reject after for details and examples.

The exit staleness check is separate (Reject exit if signal is older than); tightening the exit limit does not change entry behavior, and this message is only about the entry leg of the trade plan.

If you expect occasional delays, raise the seconds value (still between 1 and 30) or leave the field blank to disable the check. If signals should always be fresh, investigate why they arrive late (alert timing, webhook retries, clock skew, or heavy Delay usage).
