You can try with the below code, the “trigger” variable is the one used to test the gap percent at the first opening hour. “endtime” is the time limit to test the price retraction below the moving average. There is no stop and limit in the code.
```
defparam cumulateorders=false

trigger = 0.5 //trigger in percent 

timeframe(daily)
percent = Variation(close)

timeframe(default)
endtime = 100000
MAperiod = 10

if day<>day[1] then 
todayvar = percent 
todaystart=barindex
endif 

MA = average[MAperiod](close)

if time<=endtime and todaystart<>start and todayvar>=trigger and close crosses under MA then  
start=todaystart
buy at market 
endif 

//graph time<=endtime and todaystart<>start and todayvar>=trigger
```
