Spreadsheet only updates when a fill happened, not continuously

Hi SC Support,

I noticed that on my spreadsheet for trading, the formula recalculations only happen when there is a print in the market (in this case ES) but not continuously.

As an example, i have a formula that prohibits trading around the full minute mark +4 seconds, but while e.g. the sizes on the bid/offer constantly change on the chart, the spreadsheet only recalculates and gives new values when there was a print.

During GLOBEX hours, it can happen that you do not have a print for 10s or so and that can screw up things for eg realtime stacking calculations.

Is there a way to get the sheet to recalculate independently of fills in the market?

Thank you for your help in advance.

This definitely should not be the case. We are quite sure, the spreadsheet is going to be updated even with a change only with the bid or ask prices.

We have confirmed this is the case. Definitely the Sheet is updating, with bid and ask updates even though there is not a trade.

There could not be a problem with this. That really is impossible.
