I have tried multiple ways for my automated trading system to stop taking trades when reaching a profit or a loss- nothing I have tried seems to work. Specifically when using column J28 and it =1, auto trading continues. The current code I have in there is =OR((HJ3>500),(HJ3<-500)) With HJ equaling a study for closed PNL.

What am I doing wrong? Is there another way for my goal of disabling automated trading to work? I have even tried putting the code above into my entry columns and it bugs out every couple days with the Closed daily PNL being different from the actual closed daily PNL

If you manually set that field to 1 does it disable automated trading?

We do not observe any problem with that cell. It does disable automated trading. See below.

What is the Sheet number in the Spreadsheet, that cell is located on?

How is this input set?:
Spreadsheet Study Inputs: Formula Source Sheet Number

How is this input set?:
Spreadsheet Study Inputs: Use Column I and J Values Version 2
