Post From: Spreadsheet for Trading premature trade close

Hi Guys, Happy Thanksgiving to all my USA fellows.

1) I have been using the same spreadsheet tool for many many months.
2) There are 110 rows.
Observed Event: I enter a trade Long or Short. Sometimes I add to that, others not, it doesn't seem important from my observation - this example I'll use my case of 2 positions Short on the MESZ24 contract on the Nov 22nd 13:26:00 bar with 30 second bars on the chart.

I am filled 1 short @ 5982.75 13:26:18.279. My target is 8.25 ticks below.
I am filled again 1 short @ 5983.75 13:26:29.386. My target is moved 8.25 ticks below the average fill prince of 5983.25 at which a print of 5981.00 is required to trigger a close of the trade.

In what seems like a FLASH - this trade is closed out @5983.50 13:26:29.761 for a loss.

The bar data shows that the target print did not happen until 6 bars late on the 13:29:00 bar.


This has been happening over the course of several weeks and also just happened on the MNQ contract.

I update the software at the end of every week and am currently on 2700.

Might this have something to do with the timer changes? I hate windows to, but I need to get this resolved.

Please help with any suggestions?
