Post From: SpreadSheet Buy Entry not executing on true condition

This is specifically for the spreadsheet. Whether simulated or real time when column K3(Buy Entry) flashes "True" / "1" no order is executed. When the column flashes True there isn't a corresponding message log as to why it didn't execute.
Refer to:
Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading: Ignored Signals With Spreadsheet Systems or Alerts

There is an input for enhanced logging.


No:
would there be a formula for the spreadsheet that says "When the value is triggered, take that current price and hold it" so that i could then use a limit price in place?
For things like this you really need to use ACSIL:
Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL)

where can I find the option Send Orders to Trading Service?
This is a Spreadsheet System for Trading study Input:
