How to force-recalculate Trading System Based On Alert Condition?

I have a sneaking suspicion that this is not possible (and I usually use spreadsheets so it hasn't been an issue for me until now) but I'm curious to see if there is some way.

I'm using the TSBOAC study on a session footprint (1439 minutes). This of course means that when a signal triggers, the study goes TRUE, and then stays true until I manually recalculate the studies.

Is there any way to force the condition to false after a trade? I've tried adding a self-reference (referring to its own subgraph) to only trigger TRUE when it is FALSE, and this works, somewhat. Much of the time things are changing too quickly and this is actually preventing the system from taking trades a large percentage of the time.

Any ideas on this or is this just the realm of spreadsheets (or ACSIL) only?

As you have tried, you need to have something to force it back to false.

Since you want it to be false when there is not a trade open, you could use the Trading: Position Quantity study to know if you are in a trade or not. Test the Subgraph of that study and check if it is zero for not in a trade. Refer to the following:

Yes I'm actually already doing that, and it doesn't solve the issue unfortunately.

Even stranger... putting a spreadsheet formula study to simply show me the value of the entry study, shows that it is zero. But the actual subgraph value of the study itself, if shown on the chart, is still 1.

Not sure what's going on here but I'm having a feeling that there is a disconnect somehow between the real value of the signal (false), and the value that SC believes it has in the moment (true). Odd.
