Hello, it seems that the calculations in the spreadsheet are not correct. Example for Buy Exit (Sell) I use: =OR(E3<J48-0.3,E3>J48+0.5) When J48 was 187.80 the system exit was at 187.67, i.e. a 13 cent stop loss instead of a 30 cent stop loss. Are there any known problems regarding such issues. |

Hello, it is not my intention to control the fill price, but how is it possible if I use the following command for a short exit: =OR(J12>(J48+0.3),J14<(J48-0.6)) that an exit is executed after the price moved 3 Cent against me ? The exit should be no earlier than 30 cent. |

If your formula is in cell N3, you'll want to use absolute references when referencing non-repeating cells: =OR($J$12>($J$48+0.3),$J$14<($J$48-0.6)) |
