Ladies and gents

I am struggling to code a strategy to scalp the open of the DAX that I think should be vey simple,

Staggery is,

1min candles on the open of the DAX,

At the open find the high and the low from the pre trading (7pm to 8pm UK time)

1.when the price breaks above or below this point enter a trade with a 15pt stop loss and a 30 Take profit,

so far this works fine, however I am struggling to code the next bit, the attached code just does not seem to work

2. if the profit goes up to 15 points (1R) move the stop loss to break even

3. if I get stopped out I re-enter if the price crosses the original entry point in the same direction as the original trade

my full code is below

// Definition of code parameters
DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumulating positions deactivated

// Prevents the system from creating new orders to enter the market or increase position size before the specified time
noEntryBeforeTime = 080100
timeEnterBefore = time >= noEntryBeforeTime


// Prevents the system from placing new orders to enter the market or increase position size after the specified time
noEntryAfterTime = 093000
timeEnterAfter = time < noEntryAfterTime


// Prevents the system from placing new orders on specified days of the week
daysForbiddenEntry = OpenDayOfWeek = 6 OR OpenDayOfWeek = 0

///set pounds per point
ppp=1

// set variables to zero
once tradestoday =0
Once shorttradestoday =0
Once longtradestoday =0

if time = 010000 then
longtradestoday =0
shorttradestoday =0
tradestoday =0

endif

//// the pretrade high amd low

if time = 080000 then
pretradehigh= highest[60](high)
pretradelow= lowest[60](low)
Endif



// Conditions to enter long positions on first move
c1 =  close > pretradehigh And (Time < 083000) And tradestoday <1 and longtradestoday=0 AND timeEnterBefore AND timeEnterAfter AND not daysForbiddenEntry


IF c1   THEN
BUY PPP PERPOINT AT MARKET
longtradestoday =longtradestoday+1
tradestoday = tradestoday+1
ENDIF

// Conditions to enter short positions on first move
c2 =  close < pretradelow And (Time < 083000)And tradestoday <1 AND  shorttradestoday=0 And timeEnterBefore AND timeEnterAfter AND not daysForbiddenEntry


IF c2  THEN
SELLSHORT PPP PERPOINT AT MARKET
shorttradestoday = shorttradestoday+1
tradestoday = tradestoday+1
ENDIF


// Conditions to enter long positions again

c10 = longtradestoday =1 and close > pretradehigh And (Time < 092000) AND timeEnterBefore AND timeEnterAfter AND not daysForbiddenEntry And Not Onmarket 

IF c10 THEN
BUY PPP PERPOINT AT MARKET
longtradestoday =longtradestoday+1
tradestoday = tradestoday+1
ENDIF

// Conditions to enter short positions again

c20 = shorttradestoday = 1 And close < pretradelow And (Time < 092000)And timeEnterBefore AND timeEnterAfter AND not daysForbiddenEntry And Not Onmarket

IF  c20 THEN
SELLSHORT PPP PERPOINT AT MARKET
shorttradestoday = shorttradestoday+1
tradestoday = tradestoday+1
ENDIF




/// set new  SL to break even
If LongOnMarket And High > (tradeprice(1) +15) Then
SET STOP pLOSS 0
Endif

If ShortOnMarket and low < (tradeprice(1) -15) Then
SET STOP pLOSS 0
Endif







// Stops and targets
SET STOP pLOSS 15
Set Target pProfit 30
