Post From: Prevent spreadsheet trading if there was already an order

Hi, Support Team, good afternoon.

I have a problem on real Trading which is, sometimes, the automated system triggers more than one order in the same direction and at the same time, usually two orders with same defined size (as should be, according the Spreadsheet formulas). Even a time happened three orders at the sate time and same direction.
It do not happen on Backtesting, keeping in mind I'm usually backtest at x30 speed, while real trading is at real-time.

I'm trading Forex on FXCM by a FIX connection
My Spreadsheet_System_for_Trading Settings are as shown in the attached jpg
I've, in addition, tried to set J28 as: =IF(J42>=A3;TRUE;FALSE) as described by tomgilb here => Prevent spreadsheet trading if there was already an order in the present bar
But the problem remains.

Do you have any suggestion on solving this issue, please ?

Many thanks in advance
Best regards
Jordi
