I'm just learning how to use the Spreadsheet System for Trading and I am repeatedly (but not always) seeing the message "Signal ignored because current Alert Condition formula is FALSE" in the Trade Service Log. The system is based on a 1 tick chart and is running on replay data of CLH18. It only has 2 conditions: buy at the market if there are four consecutive downticks in the Ask price (that is, 4 downticks with no upticks, although there can be multiple trades at the ask as long as it doesn't uptick) and sell at the market if there are 4 consecutive upticks. Targets and stops are being managed by Attached Orders. How can I force the system to take all signals?

Refer to: Automated Trading Management: Troubleshooting Automated Trading System Behavior It makes sense you are going to see this often we would expect: Signal ignored because current Alert Condition formula is FALSE"
It would not make sense that your trading system would always be returning true constantly. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

One thing that we want to add, is that your formulas should check the current Position Quantity cell and check to make sure it is 0 and combine that with your formula to ensure that it does not return TRUE when there is a Position.

The problem is I'm getting that message when there has just been a signal and I am flat. It seems like the system is ignoring actual signals. But it is taking some signals.
