Post From: Multiple entries triggered occasionally by pyramiding logic

I have set up a spreadsheet trading study which allows automatic pyramiding from an initial manual entry if PL conditions are met.

K3 Buy Entry logic reads: =OR(P3=1,Q3=1)

P3 reads: =AND($J$8=1,$J$10>=250) to check the current position size is 1 and the current open position profit is >=250

Q3 reads: =AND($J$8=2,$J$10>=750) to check the current position size is 2 and the current open position profit is >=750

I find that occasionally either entry triggers 2 fills and I end up with a position of 4 rather than the planned 3.

Why is this happening and what can I do to prevent it? I know I can set the maximum position size, but this doesn't deal with the issue of getting 2 fills at the first pyramid rather than 1.
