Dear Sierra support team.
I have a spreasheet with trading system. I have about 1000 (stocks) symbols saved in the Associated Watch List. I download daily data for all symbols and perform a scan that leads to alert and generates a limit orders via api in Interactive broker platform. Everything works fine. I can manage the orders via api without a problem.

But
if i remove all symbols from wachlist and I import (or add manually) only the symbols that I know that there will be an entry condition the scanner dont make an alert and the limit order isnt placed. It is very strange. I spent many hours of tryimg different methods, restarts, read SC documantation/forum, check spreadsheet/code, try different chart update interval,etc. But it seems to me that the problem is when i change symbols in the wathchlist. But i absolutely dont know why. With original 1000 symbols watchlist everythig works fine,but with new imported list it doesnt work. Tried many times.

Please what Iam doing wrong? Many thanks for any idea.

Dear SC support, Iam still trying to find the solution.
It seems to me that I have similar issue as here Spreadsheet System for Trading - trouble triggering trade | Post: 115970

After many attemps I can see that only the first symbol I click in the watch list place the order. Next symols i click are:
Spreadsheet System - WDC Daily #1 | Spreadsheet: AOS FINWIN IB | Buy Entry | Signal ignored because current Alert Condition formula is TRUE | Cell: K3 | Bar start date-time: 2021-03-11 00:00:00 | 2021-03-11 15:31:22.884
But why? TRUE/1 means valid entry condition or not?? What is the problem?

Hi,
May I have found some solution. I set: Reset condition on new bar to Yes.
But there are some more issues: For example I have placed 3 SIMulated limit orders. If I click on the symbols in the watchlist again the order is canceled and immediately opens again as you can see in the picture.
Stocks AMWL and CC are canceled and re-opened. Why is this?
Many thanks
