[User Discussion] - Over executing

I have an if statement that looks for a condition to be met, than executes a block of code intended to draw something on the chart. The if statement monitors already closed candles. When the test is true, I get a rush of all the same thing, when I only want it to do it once. I've set a part of the executed code block to add messages into the alerts, so I could see what was going on, and to see if the code block was executing in the first place. This is the result I got:

How can I fix it, and bring it down to just one entry per closed candle?

Alright. That solves the automated trading part of this, but what about the processing? When a new bar closes, I'm getting that repeated execution. Is there a way to stop that as well, as to cut down on the processing?
