Post From: Spreadsheet places double trades violating spreadsheet rules

Hi, I have a spreadsheet which placed a trade twice within the one five minute bar. I have these settings in particular: - Signal only on bar close - Yes - Allow Multiple entries in the same direction - no - maximum position allowed - 300 However, as can be seen from the attached screenshots, the spreadsheet placed 2 300 unit trades. 300 sell at 8:55:03 and 300 sell at 8:55:16 for a total of 600 units. This broke all 3 rules mentioned above, and I believe it might be a glitch of some sort. I have never had this error before. This could be quite a bad glitch, as it doubled my exposure. The subsequent buy was a manual trade entered to reduce my exposure back to down to 300. I am using IB, please advise if you need additional screenshots or logs. Cheers |
