Alerts? They go off too often!

 
I don't really like that alerts in MT4 seem to go off more than once and several candles after a signal. They are useless then. If I miss the alert the first time, then I cannot trade on it anyway so why would I need to hear that alert again several candles later. It is so annoying! Is there a way to program MT4 to just sound alerts one time per signal? Thank you.

What alert? One generated by an EA? Change the EA code!
