I'm using the spreadsheet study for trading. If a buy exit is triggered in cell 'L1' I want to it trigger only once. I use the attached orders so I'll enter a position with 4 contracts with 1 target and 1 stop, I use the Buy Exit to set a target to scale out with 2 contracts. I'm using cells J82 and J83 to set the amount at 2 but when the exit is triggered it is placing 2 sets of orders with 2 contracts each for a total of 4 which is not what I want. I only want it to trigger once and put 1 order out for 2 contracts. If I use the 'signal only once per bar' does that apply to entries and exits? Is there a way to use this for exits only? I may enter more than once on the same bar. Let me know how I can accomplish this. It seems like it should be pretty simple. Please advise. Thank you. Alternatively, if there's no way around having the system place more orders than I want, if it does put out 4 orders instead of 2, is there a way to automatically cancel 2 of them?

This settings affects all 4 columns (K-N), but each column (K-N) independently.IOW, you cannot set the entry columns (K,M) to trigger more than once per bar, with the exit columns (L,N) only once per bar. Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading: Alert/Signal Only Once per Bar |
