Thanks for the effort and reply. But unfortunately it didn't work. So I tried the hard way, I went for defining variables and formulas to capture the time and it did paid off after 8 hours reading searching and trying :))))

Hey guys,

I had quite a hard time triggering my signals again while a trade was currently open, mainly because of "No position" block. The issue was that by using "No position" block I was missing all the other signals if I had a trade open. And not using it caused to open hundreds of new trades in a second!

Now, however, I have overcome this issue with a time formula and I believe I should share it as a thank you to all others who support in this forum free of charge.
You basically can adjust the period during which you don't want your signal trigger any trade (bypassing that hundreds trades in a second) and then after that your EA can freely search for new signals while your previous trade is still open.

This looked easy in the beginning but since the way time works in the code, causes a lot of complications. I don't wanna go into that discussion now. So you can use the below link for your projects and only need to input the constant Delay-seconds based on your preferences. Just remember, regardless of timeframe you are trading in, the delay must be input in seconds. So if you just opened a new trade and you want no new trade during the next 3 candles in a 15 Min timeframe, simply put 2700 (= 60 * 15 * 3).

Good luck

Thanks a lot guys, this forum is very supportive. Really appreciate that.

I didn't had the time to check your solutions, was busy developing a new idea which actually worked out and is very simple. The only drawback is that it won't work on the first X candle. Other than that pretty strait forward and easy, please check it, could be very useful for many different indicators:
