I made my first
Spreadsheet System for Trading
I used the same formula that I also for
Color Backgroudd Based On Alert Condition Use,
But the system does not work
No buying and selling.
What else should I change in the formula so that it works?

Simple Alert formulas differ slightly from those used on a spreadsheets study:
Simple Alert formulas refer to the bar with a [], e.g the previous bar is ID1.SG1[-1]
That formula on a spreadsheet needs to reference a row, e.g. ID1.SG1@4

I still have the
line reference added
In column K =AND(ID16.SG1@3>ID17.SG1@3,ID16.SG1@3>ID15.SG1@3,ID16.SG1@3<ID4.SG1@3,ID3.SG4@3<ID2.SG4@3,CROSSFROMBELOW(ID5.SG1@3:ID5.SG1@3[-1],ID5.SG2@3:ID5.SG2@3[-1]))

In column L = AND (ID16.SG1@3 <ID17.SG1 @ 3, CROSS FROM ABOVE (ID5.SG1@3: ID5.SG1@3 [-1], ID5.SG2 @ 3: ID5.SG2@3 [-1 ]))

I have turned on the Trade simulation.
I have turned on the Trading Mode
and Auto Trading enabled.
I tried several times to back test
but it does not work.

The L3 formula needs to use row references without Simple Alert bar references:
=AND(ID16.SG1@3<ID17.SG1@3,CROSSFROMABOVE(ID5.SG1@3:ID5.SG1@4,ID5.SG2@3:ID5.SG2@4))

Are you using these formulas ?:
K3:
=AND(ID16.SG1@3>ID17.SG1@3,ID16.SG1@3>ID15.SG1@3,ID16.SG1@3<ID4.SG1@3,ID3.SG4@3<ID2.SG4@3,CROSSFROMBELOW(ID5.SG1@3:ID5.SG1@4,ID5.SG2@3:ID5.SG2@4))
L3:
=AND(ID16.SG1@3<ID17.SG1@3,CROSSFROMABOVE(ID5.SG1@3:ID5.SG1@4,ID5.SG2@3:ID5.SG2@4))
