Post From: Trade Execution Issue Upon Upgrade to Version 1983

1. It's not an impossibility, the primary basis for this ticket has been this particular issue. You will see when you run the backtest that exits are occurring with no exit signals triggering, and there are no attached orders activated. This did not occur prior to v1983, but does occur from v1983 forward. I use a 5-min chart in the example I sent and if you run a backtest using the latest version of Sierra Chart you should see exits occurring every five minutes. If you then run it on v1981 for example, you will see the exits only occur when there's an exit signal as dictated by the exit algo.

2. This is a relevant issue if I'm unable to pull in data from a secondary chart and have the Trade Based on Alert Condition studies work properly on newer versions of Sierra Chart. If I was able to pull in the data from a secondary chart and have the algo function properly, as it did pre-v1983, then I agree this would be irrelevant.
