Can you confirm that in principle Enabling the Trading System study after the trigger bar starts to form but before it closes should still give an entry signal on the Trading Systems study?
This really has nothing to do with whether the condition is met or not. This is only setting the study to allow for trading at the time you "Enable" it. And since you have the option for "Evaluate on Bar Close" enabled, then the only time that matters is the state at the close of the bar. I do not have the Color Bar/Alert Condition set to "Evaluate on Bar Close" so I can at times see that the condition is already "True" intra-bar before I turn the Trading Systems study on - however, since I have the Trading Systems study set to "Evaluate on Bar Close" I would assume this would not be an issue - can you confirm this as well?
If the "Color Bar on Alert Condition" is not set to "Evaluate on Bar Close" then this is a different situation from what you are doing in the Trading System. Evaluate on Bar Close means that the condition will not be tested until the bar is closed, and all the conditions have to be met at that point. They can not have been met while the bar is forming and then later not be true. It only matters when the bar closes. Lastly, there are some cases where there are two (or more) consecutive trigger bars - can you confirm that the "Reset Alert Condition on New Bar" function should create a fresh "False" signal for the 2nd bar in the sequence, meaning it could re-fire as "True" if the condition is met before that bar closes?
Yes, "Reset Alert Condition On New Bar" will reset the alert. But keep in mind, you also have to have the Input for "Allow Multiple Entries in the Same Direction" set to "Yes" in order to actually get additional orders sent through when the condition is met and you already have an open position.
