Hello, it seems that the calculations in the spreadsheet are not correct.

Example for Buy Exit (Sell) I use:

=OR(E3<J48-0.3,E3>J48+0.5)

When J48 was 187.80 the system exit was at 187.67, i.e. a 13 cent stop loss instead of a 30 cent stop loss.
Are there any known problems regarding such issues.

You cannot make the conclusion that you are.

A spreadsheet formula does not control the fill price of an order.

Hello, it is not my intention to control the fill price, but how is it possible if I use the following command for a short exit:

=OR(J12>(J48+0.3),J14<(J48-0.6))

that an exit is executed after the price moved 3 Cent against me ?

The exit should be no earlier than 30 cent.

If your formula is in cell N3, you'll want to use absolute references when referencing non-repeating cells:
=OR($J$12>($J$48+0.3),$J$14<($J$48-0.6))
