FWIW .. I often reference Marketposition from one or more days ago which you
can't do with the built in function.., so I declare a new var of say
"currentpos" then set Currentpos=Marketposition and then use the new var ..
it may help you

Try setting a toggle that will hold even after you exit.

var: MP(0);

if marketposition = 1 then MP = 1;
if marketposition = -1 then MP = -1;

if MP < 1 then begin
{long entry code}
end;

if MP > -1 then begin
{short entry code}
end;

MP will be 0 for the first trade (either long or short) and it will 
alternate between 1 and -1 after that.
