Post From: Help: Contradictory signal between the chart and the spreadsheet

Correct, it's set to no, because I want to enter at open
Then the conditions were true at some point intrabar but not at the close of the bar.
All arrows are relative to the Last of the current bar, or the close of previous bars.

With 'Signal Only On Bar Close set to No, the signal will be the first occurrence intrabar, not necessarily exactly at the open.

If you want an entry exactly at the open of a bar, set 'Signal Only On Bar Close, (Columns K,M)' to Yes, and write formulas that reference row 3, not row 4.
This puts the arrow on the bar where the signal was true at the close, but the entry is at the open of the subsequent bar.
