Roger,

Without bothering to find out why your code isn't working from the code 
portions you have provided, here's something that I use and it works 
just fine:

if(Cond1 and Cond2 and ...... and EntriesToday(Date) < MaxEntriesInADay) 
then
begin
   Buy ...
   Sell ...
end;

MaxEntriesInADay is set to 1 in this case.
