I have a trade Management by study on my spreadsheet system for trading for my stop losses and take profits. It was working absolutely perfectly. However today when I come in it is not working. Instead it is using my default 50 ticks and 30 ticks attached SL and TP levels. I have not changed any settings in the trade Management by study nor have I changed any settings in my spreadsheet system for trading. The only thing I have done is cut and paste in new formulas into the columns that calculate my stop loss and take profit. I've done this many times before and it's never been a problem. something odd is happening: when an order is entered, before it is filled, it enters at the default stop loss and take profit of 50 ticks and 30 ticks, however as soon as the order fills the take profit updates to what is listed in the calculated TP column of by spreadsheet. I have tried going into each trade Management by study and enabling and disabling them and also tried relinking them to the correct column in the spreadsheet system for trading. But that did not fix it. What to do I need to do? I've also tried reloading my charts from yesterday, because they were working just fine then with the trade Management by study, however the same problem occurs. Help.

What are the following Inputs set to for your Trade Management by Study: - Order Adjustment Timing - Adjustment Frequency (In Seconds) But without knowing the above, and assuming you are using Number of Seconds for the adjustment timing, it would make sense that the initial positions for the TP is set by the Spreadsheet. Then you need to wait for the amount of time to pass before the TP will adjust to the study position defined.

Hi thanks for the reply. These are the settings I have had on the entire time (both when it was using my spreadsheet SL and TP and now when it does not work): Order Adjustment Timing = On Bar close Adjustment Frequency (in seconds) = 5 sec Before, the order would enter using the SL and TP levels from my spreadsheet. It did not just adjust the TP once the order had filled. In addition, it is not using the SP level from my spreadsheet once filled. What do I need to do to fix this please? I need the order to enter with the SL and TP specified on my spreadsheet. Thanks |
