The issue is now resolved.

At some point, and this must have been at the version where the problem began, there was a correction of a problem involving the calculation start index for studies which are dependent on other studies. This was something which was resolved and then created a problem with Trading System Based on Alert Condition study where it was starting to calculate at an earlier index.

With the type of trading system you have, those earlier signals were not getting filtered because the study was not passing in the bar index for the trading signal into the buy and sell entry and exit functions. That parameter is necessary for manual looping which the Trading System Based on Alert Condition study uses.

We also realize that having a trading system study start at an earlier index creates unnecessary logging, and does not really makes sense in general so we have removed that. It is not necessarily wrong but it just generates a lot of unnecessary logging.
