No trades are placed when "Signal Only On Bar Close" is set to Yes, even tho a "1" shows in cell 3.
I also have "Reset Condition On New Bar" set to Yes.

Trade Service Logs says:
Buy Entry | Signal ignored because current Alert Condition is FALSE | Bar start date-time: 2017-08-04 10:11:57 | 2017-09-05 15:18:56


Spreadsheet will only place a trade if "Signal Only On Bar Close" is set to No.

You need to look at row 4. Not 3.

Row 4 of what column?

This is my entry buy signal and its not complicated.

=AND (H54 <>0, $J$8 =0, H64 = 1,(H54 - H56) < $H$68, $E$3> H54)

The "H" cells hold values from an indicator and they don't change until the next trading session

The column will be whatever column is containing the formula but this would need to be column K, L, M or N.

Your references to cells in column H will need to be absolute references, using the $.

For example, H54 will be H55 in row 4, which is the row used for close-of-bar entries.

This is why when Signal Only On Bar Close is No you get entries and when Yes you do not.

Thanks tomgilb.
I added the "$" and that worked.
Being so frustrated with trying to get the spreadsheet to work correctly.
I overlooked that.
Dumb me.
Much appreciated for your assistance.
