Trades not executing while conditions are met/

While all conditions are met, my advisor is still not executing certain trades where it should be. For example: *** at this exact moment, the comment at the top left of a chart reads 5 true's, meaning each condition to sell off the current position has been met. However, the candle closes with no sell order executed. Why is this? Here is the code:
