Hi! How can I make the spreadsheet update from the chart? I'm trying to do backtesting and to run sim-trade mode on a spreadsheet algorithm using the Spreadsheet For Trading System Study (not the Alert). The chart will load, but the spreadsheet stays the same and the bid-ask data, for example, does not update (nor does anything else).

What can I do? I'd like to be able to run my spreadsheet algorithm and backtest, and then make some money when it works right.

If you do a slow speed replay and not a back test do you notice the spreadsheet Sheet updates?

During a back test you may not see updates for performance reasons. This is by design. Otherwise it will unnecessarily slow the back test down.
