Simple Trade Automation question from a simpleton

Hello,

I am trying to develop a simple automated trade in the Commodity Channel Index using an alert.

In cell K3, I have =ID8.SG1@3>50 for the Buy. This is working and triggering buy orders.
In cell M3, I have =ID8.SG1@3<-50 for the Sell. This is not working.

What am I missing ?

Additionally, how would I set this up to only trigger on the bar close?

Thank you.
