Post From: Inconsistent Execution from Trading Systems/Alert Condition Study

Everything is working properly for us in the chart, with a few tweaks. But here are a few items of note:

1*. We moved the Trading System Based on Alert Condition studies to the bottom of the list of studies. Since there is a dependency on the Numbers Bars Calculated Values, it needs to be lower in the list than the studies on which it depends. Putting it at the bottom is safest. This is the most important item.

2. We removed all the other extraneous studies. We do not think this will have any impact, but given how many studies you have on the chart, and how you only really need a couple for the trading system, we would recommend offloading everything that you do not need. It could be causing a longer time for the study to get calculated and create some kind of timing issue. Again, we do not think so, but best to start simple and go from there.

3. We only tested in replay. We do not think it will make any difference, but just so you are aware.

We did not have any issue with Enabling the Trading System within a bar after the condition is true. It would properly place the trade when the bar closed as long as the condition was true at bar close.
