How can I see only 1 Buy Signal until next Sell Signal? Instead of viewing multiple Buy Signals while the Sell Signal does not appear.
I'm using a Spreadsheet System/Alert, Buy Entry and Sell Entry Columns.
Thank you

You need to use an additional Formula Column to create a persistent 1 with the Buy signal formula, then release it with the Sell signal formula, e.g. in cell P3:
=IF(yourbuyconditions,1,IF(yoursellconditions,0,P4))

Then in K3:
=AND(P4=0,P3)
And in M3:
=AND(P4,P3=0)

This is a simplified solution; your specific situation may require modifying this concept.
