Automated spreadsheet system backtesting data - trade statistics not updating

Hello,
I've been running some backtests on an automated spreadsheet system but since running my first backtest this morning the trade statistics on the trade activity log haven't changed or updated. Even as I've changed parameters, cleared the data and run new backtests the trade statistics keep spitting out the same exact results that I got on my first test of this system. Any idea what I'm missing here?

Your help, as always is appreciated

You need to look at the first tab, the Trade Activity tab, and see if the correct order fills are there.

I just realized what the problem was - some of the columns in the spreadsheet system had shifted over when I'd made an adjustment to my studies, so my calculations were no longer producing valid trade signals. I still had signal arrows on my screen, but those were being produced by my alert system, not the actual automated trading system, which is why I didn't notice the issue. This problem was entirely my own fault. Sorry to have brought this up.
