Question on the New Study

Hi there, I'm glad to see the new "trading system based on alert condition" study, but not sure how exactly to make it work. I have some color bar based on alert condition studies on my chart, so I added the "trading system based on alert condition study" to my chart. In the left "based on" drop down window, I selected one of my color bar alert condition studies, enabled "yes", "buy entry", evaluate on bar close only "no", send trade orders to trade serve "yes", then in the trade window, I set my "market" order type and trade quantity. When the color bar alert study is triggered, there's no order placed...Could you please let me know what am I missing and how to make the study work? Thanks!

We will have documentation ready for this by next week.

But very briefly, that study is meant to use its own formula on the Alerts tab. It is not meant to reference the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study.

Always use it in Trade Simulation Mode to make sure it works properly for you. Do not use it live until it is proven to work properly for you after extensive testing.

And make sure you are on the very latest prerelease when using that study:
