Hi, I use a spreadsheet system for trading with my trading account. It seems to work fine but sometimes and often, some entries are not executed. As you can see on attached pictures, green arrows show buying position but i face to no execution. Why ? |

We need to point out that you will get the arrows on historical bars, but you will only get an actual order sent for new bars as they are being added the conditions are met. If those bars were developing when you got the arrow, then you would need to check your "Trade >> Trade Service Log" to see why those orders were not placed.

Thanks John, Actually (see new attached picture), orders well send to my account for bar 1,5 and 6. Not for the others. Trade Service Log does not mention anything wrong... Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-03-04 20:07:24

One thing to keep in mind is that although the bar may show that the condition is true, in order for an actual trade to occur, the condition has to go from False to True. Make sure your condition is being reset when you expect it to be. Is this in Simulation Mode or live trading? If not in Simulation Mode, then have you tried this in Simulation Mode and do you get the same result? In Simulation Mode, if you can reproduce this, then try running a replay and see if you can reproduce it. Then use the Replay to figure out what is occurring and why.

Hi John, Ok i see. My "issue" comes from TRUE state kept TRUE (1) in K cell after order execution, so the next real condition cannot be executed. Is there a way to force this cell at FALSE after TRUE ? Maybe using TIME formula ? |

It all depends on what you want to do and how you want to control it.

What you are asking is really not possible, as we have no idea what you are trying to do. But, here is one thing that might help - add the condition that a position must not exist in order for the Entry to be true. In the "Spreadsheet System for Trading" there is a Column I entry for "Position Quantity". Use the corresponding J column to determine if a position is already open. So your "Buy Entry" would look like the following: =AND(..., J8 = 0) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
