As simple as this Alert is, what else could there be?
If using a direct formula on the spreadsheet solves the delay issue, you might not care what causes the delay when using the color bar's output.At any rate, this would be a good first step in isolating the problem. When you say the delay is only seen in live trading, which applies?: - Are you forward testing in SC sim using live data? - Are you trading live to your broker's sim account? - Are you trading live to your broker's live account? Does the late signal occur intrabar in row 4, or always at the close of row 4? Check the Trade Activity log for the exact entry time compared to the bar's timestamp. Would something amiss in the preferences in the Spreadsheet for Trading cause this and if so, what parameter(s) ?
It's doubtful it's related to spreadsheet study settings. What you are experiencing is not expected behavior.
