Hey,
I hope you had a great weekend. I am stuck and need some guidance, please.
I set the Trading system Based on Alert Condition to the settings that are recommended in the help documentation. The syntax appears symbol enough.

=CROSSFROMVELOW(C, ID1.SG7)

Everything is great, no errors in the formula. The system is marking the entries and exit's and the signals are showing. I have chart trade mode on and can see my NPL

However, the data is not recording in the trading activity section under stats. I am not sure what I am doing wrong where the system is capturing those trades for further analysis?

I am also struggling to get "Trade Management by the study" to work? It also has not been capturing the data.

At first, I thought maybe the chart settings were incorrect and I duplicated another chart that is working correctly, cleared the studies, wrote new formulas and then nothing on the activity log.

At this point I am kind of lost any guidance would be greatly helpful. I have been digging through the appropriate documentation but must be missing something.

Okay, got the study to start working!!! What is the best methods to step stops with?
for example,
I am using Trade management by study.

Buy entry on ibh break
CROSSFROMBELOW(C, ID1.SG6)

BUY EXIT ON IBH 1.3
CROSSFROMBELOW(C, ID1.SG7)

Now once I am entered how do I set the stop so if IBL is taken out that I am flat on the position?
would it be

SETTING----> BUY EXIT
CROSSFROMABOVE(C, ID1.SG9)
