Hi---I am using the spreadsheet system for trading study---the "clear trade simutlation orders and data" is working---via the trade service log---and then when I go to "autotrade system bar based backtest" nothing happens---if i click it again the message log indicates I cannot start another copy. Checklist: autotrading is enabled trade simuation mode is checked/on show order fills is checked My buy/sell signal is simply " =AND($J$5=0,AQ3>0)" Your thoughts appreciated and have a nice weekend.

Hi, Got it to work and am able to run the "AutoTrade System Bar Backtest." I have a very basic formula to start and the green arrows show on the chart before the backtest just where they should be. When I run a backtest the indicators on the chart change dramatically as well as the entry points. I am not using the attached orders and the sell signal is just based on the opposite of the buy order. Appreciate your help and have a nice Holiday!

This would not be surprising. Running a back test is going to simulate real-time updating of the chart and a trading system is going to function differently compared with the buy/sell arrows which are generated based on current formula results and completed bars. The back test results are what you should actually be relying on. You might also want to use an Intraday chart instead of a Historical Daily bar chart. We cannot provide more of an explanation than that for the reasons explained here: Automated Trading Management: Troubleshooting Automated Trading System Behavior Also refer to: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SystemsAlerts.php#DisappearingArrows Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
