Hello,

I am trying to build an automated trading system with the spreadsheet study, column m gives a correct short entry and is 1. I also see the execution arrow on the chart but when going in replay mode no actual sell order gets triggered and logged, just the arrow appears. auto trading is enabled and order quantity set to 1. what did I miss or could be the problem?

Which Spreadsheet Study did you use? The Spreadsheet System for Trading study is the only spreadsheet study that trades.

If the trades are not going through, then I would check the Trade Service Log.

It worked now with the bar replay . I disconnected the data feed and again set order quantity to 1 in the j column . I don’t really now what the problem was but maybe the datafeed connected .
