I have this set up and it is working as advertised. No problems as before. I cannot seem to get the system to execute a trade. I have run into this in the past and after much frustration I usually give up and re-do the whole chartbook and trade study. As far as I can tell, I have every setting done properly. I am receiving the data from IB, the study - in this case - the Sell Entry is calculated at 1. (it has been for two bars now) But no trade execution. I have compared the study other trade studies I have running and are working properly. 8 trades executed today.

My questions are could this chartbook behave differently given that it is set up as "intraday only"? Would this only execute at market close? (I don't see why, but...)

If not, which setting would actually block trades from executing once the Sell Entry is triggered. Trade Sim is off. Auto trading is enabled in both the Trade Settings in the overall program and the study in the chartbook. Send orders to trade service - Yes. Max. position allowed is way higher than Order Quantity. I set allow entry with working orders to yes but it did not help. Signal Only on bar close is No. Signal once per bar is no. Disable Auto trading is empty. No. Order types all set to "M".

I don't expect you to troubleshoot my system but I am wondering if I am missing something simple here.
