Help with EA for Open Orders

Hi to everyone,

I am completing my first EA on a simple RSI strat. My problem however is that when testing i want to be able to limit the number of open positions to a maximum of 1 (eg 1 lot) at a time. This is obviously to avoid for example the RSI dipping bellow a certain level and triggering 1 lot then without being stopped out, dipping back below that level again and opening another. My strat comes across a lot of this.
I have spent a lot of time researching and starting from scratch and I am determined not to stop now. Can someone please point me in the write direction? Thanks

ps. All I can find on the subject is this : total=OrdersTotal(); if (total<1)

Here's a snippet I bumped into...

Inserted Code
int TotalOpenOrders() {
   int cnt = 0;
   int TotalOpenOrders = 0;
   cnt=OrdersTotal();
  
   if(cnt==0) {
      return(0);
   }
   else {
      for(;cnt>=0;cnt--) {
         RefreshRates();
         OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
         if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol()) {
            TotalOpenOrders++;
         }
      }
   }
   return(TotalOpenOrders);
}

So you can just do...

Inserted Code
if (TotalOpenOrders() == 0) { blah; }
