Hello gh,
Looks like you need to insert a variable to hold the buycondition open

vars: signal(0);
IF Month(date) <> Month(date[1]) then begin
if Buycondition then signal=1;
if Sellcondition then signal=-1;
end;
if signal=1 then begin
buy next bar at Price stop;
end;
if signal=-1 then begin
sell next bar at Price stop;
end;

best regards
nevi
