Avoid repeat orders

IBController
1 
Buy = 0;
Sell= 0;
Short = 0;
Cover = 0;
B=0;
CB = 0;


TargetBuy = Param("Target Buy", 1.2168, 0.00001, 140, 0.00001);
Plot( TargetBuy, "Target: "+ TargetBuy, ParamColor("Target Color", colorGreen), ParamStyle("Target Style", styleLine));

Buy = Ref(H,-1) > Ref(TargetBuy, -1) & C < TargetBuy;

ibc = GetTradingInterface("IB");
if( ibc.IsConnected() )
{
	if (ibc.GetPositionSize (Name()) == 0)
	{
		if( LastValue (Buy))
		{
			do
			{	
				ibc.PlaceOrder (Name(), "Buy", 20000, "Mkt", targetbuy, 0, "GTC", False);
				CB++ ;
			}	while (CB > 1);
		}			
	}	
}

Hi Team,

I have used the above code to test sending Buy in instruction to IB, but the result is the Buy in order was resending repeatedly. I just want to limit the number of time for sending the order to IB. Please help.

Thanks so much.

Peter

On first glance it looks like your do while condition never ends.
Have you tried:

while (CB < 1);
