Post From: Trading System Based on Alert Condition - Not placing trades in Sim Env

Dear Sierra Chart Support,

I’m currently experiencing an issue with automated trading using Trading System Based on Alert Condition study. While my alert formulas are triggering correctly and showing up in the Alerts Log, no trades are being placed. The Trade Service Log consistently reports the following error:

“Trading is not allowed. Reason: Formula state has not changed. Current state: False.”

I have double-checked the following settings:

Automated trading is enabled both globally and for the chart.

The alert formulas trigger correctly and are visible in the Alert Manager.

Manual trading works without any issues.

Order Quantity and Symbol are valid.

Study settings allow order placement.

Despite this, no trades are executed when the entry condition becomes true. To assist you in reproducing and diagnosing the issue, I’ve attached the chartbook I’m currently using.

Could you please test the setup and advise what might be causing this issue?

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
Ramkumar
