Sorry,
I think that I misread your question. Though, the answer is laregely the same; you could use custom backtester.
Iterate through the signals at each bar. If an open position already exists for the symbol, reset the position size to zero for the new signal if the date of the bar is the same as the entry date of the open position.
Any attempt to use arrays outside of the custom backtester using such approaches as flip, exrem, etc. do not take into account that some signals simply will not get filled due to portfolio limitations. Thus, custom backtester is the only reliable way of knowing if a position was *actually* taken.

If you get 3 Buys from 3 symbols on the same bar, which one do you take? Whatever logic you use to make that determination will bias your results. You would likely be best to select from the 3 at random.
