Post From: Automated Bitcoin Trading based on Parabolic SAR

I wonder if you could help me regarding automatic Bitcoin trading
via Mt.Gox. For testing purposes I am using the Sierra Chart MACD
Cross Over System and the Spreadsheet for Trading.

I got Buy- and Sell Entries, plus prices in the Table:

Buy Entry: TRUE
Buy Exit (Sell): FALSE
Sell Entry: FALSE
Sell Exit (Buy): TRUE

Buy: 67,83544922
Sell: 0

Please find the settings I use in the Spreadsheet below:

Connected to Data Feed (read-only): TRUE
Order Quantity (read/write): 10000 (1 Bitcoin)
Disable Auto Trading (read/write): FALSE
Symbol (read-only): BTCEUR
Connected to Data Feed (read-only): TRUE
Maximum Position Allowed (read-only) 1000
Send Orders To Trade Service (read-only) TRUE
Buy Entry: Order Type. M=Market
Buy Exit: M=Market
Sell Entry: M=Market
Sell Exit: M=Market

Is there something I may have forgotten to setup?
For some reason Mt.Gox is not executing the automatic trade,
when I put in my order manually via Trade Window everything
works just fine.

What you need to do is look at Trade >> Trade Service Log and see why order signals are being ignored. One thing that we notice is the Maximum Position Allowed is not high enough. It needs to be at least 10000. This is set through the Spreadsheet System for Trading study Input settings.
