When your system signals to take a trade, also set a variable that will be a
flag to some value to know that it is true (like FLAG = 1or FLAG = TRUE).
Also at the top of your code where you decide to take a code or even at the top
of your system, you would check to see two things. If both are true then don't
do the logic to see if a trade should be taken. The two things are 1. if FLAG
is TRUE and if the date of the current bar = to the date of the prior bar.
There is also an else part of the logic which turns the flag off. That needs to
execute on the first bar of the session.
IF Sess1FirstBarTime = Time the FLAG = FALSE;
{execute this at the top of the system to see if it is the first bar of the day
and turn the flag off to be able to take a trade.
IF (FLAG = FALSE) OR (DATE <> DATE(1) ) THEN BEGIN
....
logic to take a trade
.....
FLAG = TRUE; {set flag on when you take a trade}
END
Hope this helps.
