Just learning on using text tags(j102) in my automated spreadsheet trading system so tags are seen on chart and in trade activity logs(notes). In a previous question on text tags I was told that there is a text tag placed anytime there is an order placed. For some reason I am only seeing text tags on charts on exits but not on entries.

Very simply this is because the text tag was never set at the order entry There is no other possibility of this. Just set it to a fixed string and you will see it works. That should be convincing enough.

text tag on sell exit is set, it is placing it on chart on sell exit trade entry but not putting it in the trade log. Why wouldn't it be putting it in note section of trade log but putting it on chart.

@Sierra Chart Engineering, I'm currently testing Text Tags in a Spreadsheet System for Trading - in cell J102 I've added a nested 'if' statement so the text is a function of which order trigger was activated (got them in cols O-Z). My question is: do Tags get passed along with the order onto the Trade Activity Log the instant that a True/1 condition appears in the respective cell under col K, L, M or N...or are they only passed along once the order status proceeds to 'working'?

I ask w.r.t. cases where orders are firing at a fairly-high frequency from multiple Sheets/Systems, and the text available on a read-basis in J102 is in flux.

Lastly, testing a much simpler =IF statement in J102, like "=IF(AND(K3 , J26 = 0), Buy1a, 0)" is giving me a '0' result, even though both K3 and J26, set as =IF statements themselves, have been showing '0' for some time and hence makes the conditional in J102 True. I must be overlooking a simple error again.

The text tag is logged when the order is initially submitted.

First thing, your AND statement is incorrect for what you state you want. If you want J102 to be True when K3 and J26 are both 0, then you would need to write AND(K3 = 0, J26 = 0).

What you have now would only be true if K3 were NOT 0, and J26 was 0.

Fix this and then see if everything else works out properly.

Hi SCE, I wrote my full 'if' statement for the text tag in J102 of a SSfT Study, and when one of the columns (O-X) has a '1' indicating an order trigger, J102 throws a '#NAME?' error. Here's a reduced form of my formula:

=IF(O3=1,Buy1a_HASv3,IF(P3=1,Buy1b_HASv3,0))

I tried removing the underscore character from each intended tag, same result.

You need to enclose the text tag within " marks like this:

"Buy1a_HASv3"
