Actually, the arrows are being drawn when you have a value other than 1, but they are drawn at the actual number entered. So, if the number is 2, then the arrows are being drawn way down at 2, which it sounds like you are not seeing (normally, this would compress your chart so you would see all the information, but your chart must be setup to ignore the Spreadsheet Trading study). When you have a value of 1 in the cell, that that is treated special and the arrow is placed at the low of the bar.

In general, the K, L, M, and N columns are looking for True/False information, or 1 (True), and 0 (false). Any number other than 0 is treated as a True condition and you will get the order. But you really would be best to just use 1's and 0's for your status.

And, in answer to your question, yes it will work the same way for real trading as it does in simulation.
