I am still in research and experimentation stage with this system. My spreadsheet will enter a long when Condition1=True (A > B). This works as expected.

Via the trading panel, there is an attached take profit order (TP). It is placed as expected.

It is possible for the TP to be filled while Condition1 is still True.

In the instance where the TP is hit, and Condition1=True, I expect the system to re-enter the position: this is not happening.

I am using the attached settings.

In the instance where the TP is hit, and Condition1=True, I expect the system to re-enter the position: this is not happening.
For another entry to occur, the TRUE must cycle thru a FALSE (it must follow a FALSE).
IOW, a TRUE that stays true cannot generate another entry.

If the subsequent entry occurs in a subsequent bar, you can set 'Reset Condition On New Bar' to Yes.
But if it occurs in the same bar, the algo would need to do the reset, if possible.

Thanks again for another good explanation. I had anecdotally observed what you described. But did not think it would be the case as I was not using CrossFromBelow. I was simply using greater than. I will work with bar duration to implement a reasonable re-entry practice. Thank you.
