Hello,

I do automated trading with the (old) spreadsheet system. On certain circumstances I want to to execute the trade WITHOUT sending it to the Trading service - that means only simulated. It's because I need the result of this simulated trade for further decisions. I know I can Stop the execution with "Auto-Trading Enabled" but then I don't have this information. Are there such possibilities in automated trading?
Thank you!

But "Send Orders To Trade Service" (field J68 in spreadsheet) is read-only. Is it possible to change this value from the spreadsheet?

Not from the spreadsheet. This can only be done from the study Input settings:

But thats not automated. I simply want to do this in my spreadsheet:
- I start a series of trades without sending the information to the trading service
- As soon as the last tradingresult is positive I want to do the next trade sending the information to the trading service
- and so on

is that possible?
Thank you!
