Your references to "last trade" and "last bar" are ambiguous -- do you mean
"last" to indicate the previous trade, or the "final" trade in a series? -
or something else?
   
If you would specify exactly what event you wish to trigger the FileAppend,
it would be easier to figure out what you're trying to do and what action
needs to be taken.
   
If you're trying to send the data to the file when the trade is closed out,
you could use:
   
If MP[1] <> 0 and MP = 0 then...
   
If, however, the trade is closed out on the final bar of the chart, the data
would not be sent to the file because MP would not be zero until the next
bar following the bar where the trade was closed.
