...only once while a strategy condition it true? (Wait for the condition to be false and then take action only once when the condition turns true again.)

Untested but try something like this:

 
Code
#region Variables

privatebool myFlag = false; // Default setting for MyFlag

#endregion

protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
if (historical) return;
if (Close[0] > Close [1] && myFlag == false)
{
Print(DateTime.Now + " It's going up!");
myFlag = true;
}
else myFlag = false;


}
