[amibroker] Re: how to get rid of multiple signals from the same stock?

I am having a similar problem with eliminating a second (or more)
trades on the same stock during the same day.  I have included exrem 
to eliminate multiple buys before a sell signal is given and I don't 
want to use a time restriction.

What my 3 minute bar system has (in part) is the following:

in_trade = 0; // to control one trade per day
nuday = Day() != Ref(Day(),-1);  // to indicate a new day

Then my Buy code is
Buy = in_trade ==  0 AND LongCond1 AND {the rest of my buy conditions}

then comes my Sell code 

followed by
Buy = exrem(buy,sell);

and 

in_trade = Flip( Buy, nuday);  / to reset in_trade for the next day 
but retain the value (which becomes "1" on the bar where the first 
buy is executed).

The system will occasionally issue a second buy signal on the SAME 
stock on the SAME day (I can tell because I plot the buy arrows) EVEN 
THOUGH the Interpretation window tells me the value of in_trade at 
that point is 1 (not 0 as required by the Buy code).

So - 2 questions
1 how can I eliminate the second trade on the same stock on the same 
day (my primary objective)?

2. why does the Buy code ignore the in_trade ==0 part of the code?

TIA
Rick
