[Programming Help] - Spreadsheet for Trading Executing Non-Existing Trade Signals

Hello,
A spreadsheet for trading is opening positions with no TRUE signal from columns K and M. The formulas at K3 and M3 are not even close to signal a TRUE
I have set the spreadsheet input "Enhanced Auto Trade Signals Related Logging..." set to YES for better analysis. However, the Trade Service Log does not show any information in respect to the wrong signal and fills. The Trade Activity Log does show the fills.

Below is the section from the message log for the times of one of the wrong fills and its information from the trade activity log. Attached is the trade activity log.

Thanks,
