Auto Strategy assumes I'm already in trade

[givemefood]

I've created an automated trading strategy, and I've encountered an issue: when I activate or enable the strategy, the code sometimes assumes I'm already in a trade if an entry condition was met before activating the strategy. It continues to monitor that trade until the chart confirms it's closed, even if new entry conditions are met.

What adjustments should I make in the settings or which code should I insert to ensure that prior conditions are ignored until the strategy is actively enabled?
​
Thanks.
