Post From: Automated Trading System - Trade executing one bar late

Watched some replies at x0.1 speed to better identify the timing problem.

The sequence is as follows:

bar1: at bar close, trigger signal prints on chart
bar2: at bar close, trigger signal records a "1" on spreadsheet, and an arrow on chart
bar3: at bar open, trade executes

So the question is, why are signals recorded on the spreadsheet system 1 bar too late?
Can you help please? Would assume this is something many other users go / have gone through.

Thank you
