I am using spreadsheet for trading and have it set up so that if an alert fires then the account should go long 1 contract and if another alert fires then it goes short one contract. The alerts are clearly showing as fired since the bars are colored, the arrows denoting a trade are happening, but the position stays at 0 and no order is accounted for in the trade stats panel. Is this a known bug? I cannot continue to use sierra chart if I am getting unreliable backtesting data. The trades seem to fire at random. I use market orders for everything, trade at close of bar, yet have inconsistent backtests.

The back testing is 100 percent reliable. The problem has to do with ignored order signals which have very specific reasons why they occur.
