Chart is Flex Renko 35-31-5 ; I wonder if this is a problem to the order entry.
Simple chart , I removed all but one indicator.
Buy or sell is supposted to happen on Crossfrom above/below of a moving average.
Evaluate on bar close is checked.
However orders are executed immediately on the cross of the MA without waiting for the bar close.
I have circled where there have been wicks where price goes through the MA but closes where there should be no trade but the trade has occurred before the bar close
What am I missing?

'Evaluate On Bar Close' on the Alerts tab is not used in neither the Spreadsheet System for Trading study, nor in the Trading System Based On Alert Condition study.
This option in on the Settings and Inputs tab of these studies.

You need to use these Spreadsheet Study Inputs:
Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading: Signal Only on Bar Close (Signal Only On Bar Close (Columns K, M) | Signal Only On Bar Close (Columns L, N-Z))

To access these Inputs, refer to:
