I cannot seem to get any orders/trades placed from the spreadsheet system for trading.(No market orders, stop orders or limit orders)

It generates the signal (green/red arrows) and even makes the noise of a fill on replay/backtest, yet there are no signs of an actual order/trade anywhere:
- On the chart. With "show order fills" & "show orders and positions" checked
- On the chart trade window. With "chart trade mode on"
- On the trade activity log under replay/backtest or simulated
- I have tried it being disconnected and connected to my data feed
- With "auto trading enabled"
- With "send orders to trade service" = NO
- Order quantity = 50
- "Max position allowed" = 1000

I have tried it your simple example of the last price crossingabove the EMA = TRUE with no luck (it only generates arrows not trades).I have tried many other permutations such as "signal only on bar close" = TRUE.....etc without any luck too. Please could you guide me as to what I am getting so wrong please.

You help is very appreciated!

When a trade/alert signal is generated, do see a message added to Window >> Show/Hide Alerts Manager >> Alerts Log for it?

I am not sure what the problem was but I is working fine now. Yes the alerts were showing on the alerts log.

Thanks again
