Check mql4 tutorials 30 episodes on youtube...quite nice tuts.

For your query....you need to check open orders if any before opening orders using a custom function like one below.

Code

 int OpenOrdersExist(string pair)
   {
     int total=0;
     for(int i=OrdersTotal()-1; i>=0;i--)
      {
        OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
        if(OrderSymbol()==pair) total++;
      }
      
      return(total);
   }

The above function counts open orders if any and returns the value as integer.

Then

Code

if (OpenOrdersExist(Symbol())==0)
{
//your entry algo here.
}
