Hello, I am a new user of SC. I have read through the detailed documentation on Spreadsheet Studies for Trading and have applied one of these to a futures contract I wish to trade. The settings (e.g. Auto Trading Enabled, Send Orders to Trade Service) are set to "On" or "Yes" or "TRUE" as needed. The formulaic conditions of the order (Buy if greater than X, Sell if less than Y) are showing their correct TRUE/FALSE values in columns K and M (I'm not using L and N, I'll exit manually) as they should. Appropriate quantities are set (1 contract). After all that, no orders are firing off. I am able to place orders on the same chart MANUALLY and get fills. It's just the automated piece that isn't firing off orders. Where/how can I get some help? If it makes a difference to your answer, I do know my way around Excel and VBA. Thanks, AZM
