Hi,

Is there a way to look at the present bar if there was already a trade that was placed in the bar and was closed out. Don't go in again even if there's an entry signal?

Since the bar timestamp is the bar open, you can compare A3 to J42 in J28:

=J42>=A3

When this is TRUE, it will disable autotrading.

If you want to require that it also must be closed in the same bar:

=AND(J42>=A3,J43>=A3)
