When the option for Signal Only on Bar Close is enabled, then you will only get a signal when the next bar starts, which is when the second-to-last bar is officially closed. It sounds like this is occurring properly for you, as you are not getting a signal if there is not a new bar. On the other hand, you would also need to have a way to reset your condition in order to get another signal once a signal has been received. Without a reset, the signal is True, and it has to go from False to True in order to signal. Therefore, you would want to also use the option for Reset Condition on New Bar in order to reset the condition after it has gone True on bar close.
