Hello team at SC, I'm limiting my trades to signal only once per bar, which works perfect, but it overrides my signals on L3 or N3 cells, giving the message "signal ignored because signal only once per bar is enabled and a signal was already given from formula column bar" I've read somewhere in the support board a fix for this and to be able to trigger buy/sell exits in addition to using signal only once per bar, would be a adding a non zero position to the formula, which i did, here's my formula that triggers if any of the conditions are met =OR(AND(J$8 > 0, ID5.SG1@3 < ID10.SG1@3), AND(J$8 > 0, ID18.SG1@3 < 0), AND(ID5.SG1@3 < ID10.SG1@3), AND(ID18.SG1@3 < 0)) I added the check for a non zero position J$8 > 0 in the formula, but still, i cant get to trigger my buy/sell exit WITH signal once per bar only on. What am i doing wrong? Thanks in advance! |

The option for "Signal Only Once Per Bar" applies to each column individually. So the only reason you would be getting that message is if the Buy/Sell Exit condition was True at some point within the bar prior to when you actually wanted it to be. We have just tested this again recently to ensure it is working properly and it is. Therefore, you need to look at how your conditions are functioning in order to ensure that this is working properly for you.
