Hello,

I built a spreadsheet trading system with a buy and sell entry price as per the attached screenshot.
The system is supposed to place buy / sell stop limit order at the price in column K / M. But, when I run the system, it just places a trade at market even when I change the type of entry to "Stop Limit" in the Trade Window. Could you please advise on how I can make the spreadsheet system place a buy / sell stop limit trade at the specified price in the spreadsheet.

Thanks and Regards,
R

Cells K/M are the T/F signals. They are boolean: any non-zero is TRUE, and zero is FALSE.

You set the Stop Limit prices in J22/J24.

You set the order types in J71/J73.

Yes you need to set the order type and price, if necessary, on the corresponding spreadsheet cells:
