Stop Signal

I usually do this through a Bool Swtich 

Lets say your signal is a Long Trade and before it's opened the Bot is waiting for the Signal 

In this case The Bool Switch (Lets Call it CanOpenLongTrade) will be true 

To initialize 

//initialize
private bool CanOpenLongTrade ;

//OnStart 

CanOpenLongTrade = True 

Now Your cBot Got the Signal , Let's say on OnTick Method , You test for the Validity of opening a Long Trade

if(Condition1 && Condition2 && CanOpenLongTrade)
{
 // Here you Execute the opening of the long trade
}

and at the same OnTick or OnBar method you Swich it Off

if(Condition1 && Condition2 && CanOpenLongTrade)
{
 // Here you Execute the opening of the long trade
 CanOpenLongTrade = false ;
}

Now it will not take the long signals again 

Still you must turn it back on , maybe after the Trade is closed , According to specific time or what ever you want 

The point is you :

-Start with the bool switch True

-Check for being true before a position is opened 

-Turn it off immediately after you open the trade

-Turn it back on again to allow the cBot to open another position
