I've built a Trading System by way of Spreadsheet and it's connected to a Renko chart. The Trading System works as intended, repeatedly, during AutoTrade System Bar Based Backtests and Replays. However after doing Clear Trade Simulation Orders & Data, and Connect to Data Feed, the Trading System does not send any trade orders in real(delayed)time. This is all Simulated Trading during a Trial, by the way. I have successfully traded manually by way of Trade Window on the same chart--both before and after the aforementioned Backtests and Replays. The Buy Entry Arrows and Sell Entry Arrows appear askew on the Renko chart, but I suspect this merely a cosmetic issue caused by Renko's interruption of "spacetime." If anyone can point me in the right direction please, many thanks in advance. |

the Trading System does not send any trade orders in real(delayed)time.
For orders to be placed:If 'Trade >> Trade Simulation Mode On' is checked, 'Send Orders To Trade Service' must be set to No. (This is local Sim mode, either backtesting or forwardtesting.) If 'Trade >> Trade Simulation Mode On' is unchecked, 'Send Orders To Trade Service' must be set to Yes. (This is live trading to your account.) These two settings are mutually exclusive. Nothing happens if they are not set to one of the above. The Buy Entry Arrows and Sell Entry Arrows appear askew on the Renko chart
Renko bars have their own Open and Close prices, so add the Renko Visual Open/Close Values study, and reference them instead of B3/E3.

@Sawtooth, Thanks a million for your reply. There is actually no cosmetic issue between the Study Overlay - OHLC nor the Renko Visual Open/Close Values study and the Renko Bars chart. I have deduced that the extra arrows printed by the Trading System are based on all studies connected to the Trading System. I'm using multiple studies but I'm limiting trading to 1 position at all times, so the Trading System is filtering out the extra arrows as intended. This is not a problem. To be clear, I'm now using the Renko Visual Open/Close Values study as you instructed. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-10-01 18:54:09
