Hi i would like to check if i'm invested in either of 2 pairs. If i am not invested in one of them then i would like to initiate my buy/sell IF conditional statement. I've tried doing an or statement like "if eurusd invested is false or gbpnzd invest is false " then check for buy signal (using WILR and slow EMA) but this hasn't worked. I"ve been working on this for like 24 hours. i've searched forums as well. does anyone know how to do this? I don't want the algo to check for opportunities with my array of eurusd and gbpnzd then buy and hold one at a time. It either does that or it will keep triggering the same signal on one pair and triple purchase lots on it.

What do you mean by "this hasn't worked"?
What trades should it place and what trades did it place?
By the way, I would recommend that you use if-else rather than if-if and put the statements that should run under the same condition together. You have something like this:
if A: do_A() if B: do_B() if A: do_another_A() if not A: do_not_A()
where it should be:
if A: do_A() do_another_A() else: do_not_A() if B: do_B()
maybe this is the reason why "this hasn't worked".
Also, you don't need to compare booleans to get boolean:
if self.Portfolio["EURUSD"].Invested == False: # not right if not self.Portfolio["EURUSD"].Invested # right if self.Portfolio["EURUSD"].Invested == True: # not right if self.Portfolio["EURUSD"].Invested: # right
