Redundant Triggers: Prevent same signal firing twice in ThinkOrSwim

[fabriciom]

is there a way to control if a graf has already fired a signal as to no repeat the same signal.

I have a cross over arrow that I would like to only show a signal the first time it crosses up or down.

Problem is that it some times it touches the line and fires the up/down signal again.

This is the code:

plot ArrowUp = if low crosses above graf
               then low
               else double.nan;
     ArrowUP.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Arrow_UP);
     ArrowUP.SetLineWeight(3);
     ArrowUP.SetDefaultColor(Color.Green);


plot ArrowDN = if high crosses below graf
               then high
               else double.nan;
     ArrowDN.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Arrow_DOWN);
     ArrowDN.SetLineWeight(3);
     ArrowDN.SetDefaultColor(Color.Red);

How could I control 2 up arrow or 2 down arrows don't fire one right after the other? And just the first one shows.

Thanks.

Thanks.

maybe these will help

this sets 2 variables , buy and sell, to 1 or 0.
the plot formula looks for when they change. when buy changes from 0 to 1, and uses that
