only want 1 trade to trigger at a time, once a buy entry is triggered no new buy until the open trade is closed by the buy exit. As you can see from on the attached chart that's not happening, what am I doing wrong?
The study Input settings look fine to prevent this.

Regarding the question in the first attached image, you cannot look at the arrows to know if there is an actual trade. This is explained here:

Also, refer to this section and all of the subsections:
