Hi SC Support, I am using the Spreadsheet System for Trading on my main(symnol I am trading) chartbook. My Buy Entries and Exits are generated from a different chartbook. I use Study/Price Overlay to pass the signal from one chartboook to another. During backtesting using Autotrade System Bar Based Backtest, all of the entries, which should be at the close of the signal candle, actually occur at the open. The same goes for the exits as well. This does not happen when the signal is generated on the main chart. This also does not happen using the Autotrade System Replay Backtest. I have all of the studies to evaluate at bar close.Please let me know if you need my chartbook as an example. |

If this Input is not set to Yes: Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading: Signal Only on Bar Close (Signal Only On Bar Close (Columns K, M) | Signal Only On Bar Close (Columns L, N-Z)) Then this is far too involved for us to be troubleshooting: Automated Trading Management: Troubleshooting Automated Trading System Behavior The other thing to check is you also want to be replaying the source chart as well that you are overlaying studies from.
