I have been working with sierra chart for 1.5 years using automated spreadsheet for trading. Version 1082 works fine meaning when the buy column is true, the system takes the trade and my attached orders are placed. Works for both live trading and replay. No problems. However, when I use ANY OTHER VERSION and the newer "old spreadsheet" and "new spreadsheet" versions, I cannot get the computer to take a real or simulated trade (live or backtest) when the column say true. Send to Trade service is yes and Auto Trading enabled is checked. I am a very experienced user (with version 1082). Please Help. Actually if I could talk to someone that would be great. Has anyone had this probem before? thanks Frustrated

@ User12222

Have you managed to get it to work like in the older versions? I experience exactly the same issue: in older versions it worked, now (v1239) it does not. Checked all the settings and ran tests over and over again.
