How to create a sell signal for a stock that has left the dynamic dataset using a building block? Now I find out that the stock has left the dynamic dataset from the strategy's trade history and sell it later with a delay. Therefore, the results of real trading differ from the result of the strategy's backtest.

That's not going to be possible. By definition, a Historical Index Exit (or entry for that matter) is set up with historical dates - they already happened. The only way you can trade these like the backtest is to be very aware of the status of your index components, manually. Usually an index change is announced one to two weeks in advance, but in other cases it can be overnight.

In my case it is a dynamic dataset created with the Portfolio123 extension and it is updated every 2 weeks. And this is a problem.

Cone, shouldn't Exit Orphan Positions handle this?

Sure, if you're Auto-trading, Exit Orphans can keep you in sync, but the historical info is still going to come at least 1 day late, and more realistically it could be several days late.
