Thanks for advice /tip i appreciate it a lot.

As i said in my previous post, that i started last January to program. Some functions were easy & simple, some were complex & difficult to understand. I know as i made this post i was at fault & i learn from it.

Thank You

I started last 2018 December 1 month before you. 
mql4 was my first ever language. 

 

Create Boolean Functions ExistBuyPos() and ExistSellPos() inside those functions write codes to check for the existance of buy and sell trade respectively....then call them in the OnTick() function....as 

Void OnTick()
{
 if (ExistBuyPos()==false)
  {
   trade.Buy(); //write your buy code here
  }
 else if ( ExistSellPos()==false)
  {
   trade.sell(); //write your sell trade code here
  }
//this code will Allow only one Pos direction 
}
//---
 bool ExistBuyPos() {
   for (int i=0; i<PositionsTotal(); i++) {
      if (PositionSelect(Symbol())) {
        if (PositionGetString(POSITION_SYMBOL)==Symbol() && PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE)==POSITION_TYPE_BUY ) {
            return(true);
         }
      } 
   } 
   return(false);
}
//---
bool ExistSellPos() {
   for (int i=0; i<PositionsTotal(); i++) {
      if (PositionSelect(Symbol())) {
        if (PositionGetString(POSITION_SYMBOL)==Symbol() && PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE)==POSITION_TYPE_SELL ) {
            return(true);
         }
      } 
   } 
   return(false);
}
//---
