Spreadsheet autotrader missing entries

Hello. Today the spreadsheet autotrader system I built failed to enter a trade. I checked the logs but there was no errors related to trade entry. The only error I saw said something along the lines of: sell exit could not be taken because no position exists. This is the first time I've had any trouble with the system. I would greatly appreciate if you could tell me how to avoid this in the future.



Thank You,
Michael

I forgot to mention that when I replayed the market, the trades that were skipped when live were taken during the replay.

Thank you so much for the reply. I had accidentally tured off the send orders to trade service option in my study. Human error.
