Hi, Despite making all these checks and enabling things like Signal Only Once Per Bar (False), ensuring that the maximum position isn't a factor, etc. The spreadsheet still isn't acting on all signals. When it does act there is a long delay (a minute or more). The orders are not merely firing when the new bar appears; they fire at random. (I can see that the Auto-Trade and other necessary toggles are active and correct). The most recent example was a Buy Exit which was "TRUE" but no order was sent for a while (a few minutes). Then the order was sent and filled at the limit price. Then a Sell Entry signal was made TRUE (after about 15 seconds) but no order was issued. After a while (and not when the bar changed, just randomly) the signal was sent. (I checked the Service Log, no luck there). What are the other circumstances in which this can happen? Is there other documentation that walks through how a signal is and is not acted on?
