Hi I have been going back and forth with this and cannot work out any differences.There is no messages in the Trade>>Trade Service Log, either live or when doing Reply. I even tried the suggestion....
One way to get an understanding of how the TRUE signals in K3, L3, M3, N3 are processed is to do the following:

Remove the formulas from the K3, L3, M3, N3 cells on the specific Sheet in the Spreadsheet window you are working with.
Start a chart replay at a relatively slow speed. For example, on a 1 minute chart you may want to use 20 to 30 times.
Enter a 1 in cell K3, L3, M3, or N3 to simulate it becoming TRUE.
Enter a 0 to clear that state.
Refer to the Window >> Show/Hide Alerts Manager >> Alerts Log for the System or Alert signals. Refer to the Trade >> Trade Service Log for ignored signals. Not all ignored signals will be logged.


...Then maybe I thought -wild guess - it has something to do with the the different data feed setups I have.

I use 2 copies of SC...one for longs and one for shorts. (SC longs and SC shorts)
Each is connected to a different login and user name at IB, and they are not families and friends/advisor accounts.
They are 2 distinctly separate logins.
Each copy of SC has no problems sending orders to the right IB TWS when manually trading.
I also use the SC data feed (this is the one that costs 35 per month)

Usually I log into my 2 version of SC, and I noticed that when I open my SC shorts version, the SC longs also opens.
Upon checking the account manager at SC to see what is activated - I re read all the documentation - it appears I should be paying 35pm for the first instance (SC longs - already do) and 20pm for the 2nd instance (SC shorts - not activated)

At present I only have 1 activated - I did not realise the second needed to be activated....and since it seemed to work I never gave it another thought.
Is this correct?

If so - my wild guess is that this is causing problems somewhere/somehow and I should activate the second copy...but then I would expect it to work.

thanks. (Happy to pay extra if correct and have activated the second copy, but it was interesting this never seemed to be a problem)
