Ok, hear we've got situation:

 CondBuy=..;
 CondShort=..;
 Buy= CondBuy ;
 Short=Sell;
 Cover=Buy;

CurrentPos[0]=0;
MaxBuys = 1;
dnB = DateNum();
newDayB=Ref(dn,-1)!= dnB;
SetBacktestMode( backtestRegularRaw );
SetCustomBacktestProc("");
if ( Status( "action" ) == actionPortfolio )
{
   bo = GetBacktesterObject();
   bo.PreProcess();
   cntBuys =0;
   for ( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++ )
   {
	if(newDayB[i]==1)
      	{cntBuys = 0;}
	CanEnter=False;
      for ( sig = bo.GetFirstSignal( i ); sig; sig = bo.GetNextSignal( i ) )
      {
 if ( CntBuys < MaxBuys AND sig.IsLong()AND CurrentPos[0]!=1)
            {
				
               CanEnter = True;
               CntBuys++;
	       CurrentPos[0]=1;
            }
else if ( CntBuys < MaxBuys AND NOT sig.IsLong()AND CurrentPos[0]!=-1)//if signal short
			{					
				   CanEnter = True;
				   CntBuys++;
				 CurrentPos[0]=-1;

			} 
            if ( ! CanEnter ) sig.Price = -1;
         
      }
   bo.ProcessTradeSignals( i );
   }
   bo.PostProcess();
}

Still program misses some signals. Why is that?
Someone can check it ? I will be greatfull :-)

Morover every transacion is simply reversing position (always on market). But for this code signals which aren't use ( for example buy signal when i already have long position) are count to daily limit. I really don't know why :).
