too many alerts for same signal

Ooops.

MolanisAlert is tied to else and a bunch of other code that I'm not going to mess with, but the standard mql4 Alert command is compiling ok.

Aaand... after some searching I found how to count alerts in alert mode: http://forum.mql4.com/35011.

I used the approach of setting execution mode to trade and max position of 1. Not most elegant solution but I do get just 1 email when conditions are met.

Well, I would too but:

My email can't receive alerts,
I prefer pop-up alerts anyway, and
I'm trading 26 pairs, 2 positions per pair (hard coded 52 max).

This is why I want one alert per trade. I'm sure this can be done, but I'm having other issues since IBFX updated to MT4 build 4.32:

Sometimes one CheckTrailingStop line gets omitted from the code (given 26 BUY blocks, I get 25 CheckTrailingStop lines instead of 26),
Sometimes currency pairs are transposed (LS, SL, TP, or TS symbol doesn't match BUY/SELL symbol), and
Find & Replace in MetaEditor is a mess. For example, when I replace EURUSD with EURUSDm, I sometimes get EURUSDmmm, and
Formattng from MetaEditor no longer carries over to MS Word for advanced editing.

Every day, I like CrapT4 a little bit less.
