prevention of same type order help

[gbengas2013]

my Ea keeps opening same type position when it opens one and make profit it will open another one on this same direction after takeprofit point even if trade is about to go the other way. Pls i need a simple order management code that will prevent this from happening. i want the one that will wait until opposite signal is available before making the next trade after it has finished with the current order by takeproft.

Is there an echo in here?

int start(){
   static int lastType=-1;
   if (BuyCondition  && lastType != OP_BUY){ lastType=OP_BUY; orderSend(buy); }
   if (SellCondition && lastType != OP_SELL){
