Greetings.

I am not sure where I am going wrong.

1) I want a Buy open and Buy Close as shown in the picture but its not working. I read the documentation and forums and updated them, but still...
2) The intent is to open an order if the value is below 112 3.5/32 and Close at 112 14.5/32
3) AA3 is the value from a indicator

Thanks so much!

Signals are in columns K3-N3
Prices are in J22-J25
Order types are in J71-J74

Columns K-N are the signal columns and need a non-zero value at the bar/row where you want the signal, not in every row.
A TRUE signal must follow a FALSE signal.
Create a formula in Column O or higher, and then reverence it with another formula in K3 that goes TRUE when you want.

Where is price when the value is below 112 3.5/32 ?
If price is below the value, use a Buy Stop, if it's above the value, use a Buy Limit.
If it could be either, use a conditional IF statement in cell J71.

If you are entering/exiting a position intrabar, be sure to set 'Signal Only On Bar Close' to No.

If you have 'Signal Only Once Per Bar' set to Yes, be aware of this:
