Help with coding specific entry/exit dates

Hi everyone! I was hoping someone can help me with this code as I can't seem to get it right and get mixed results. I am using TradeStation and Portfolio Maestro to try to do some backtesting. I have specific dates I want to enter and exit (ex. enter at open on 1/4/22, exit at close on 1/6/22).

Thank you for helping to point me in the right direction with all this!
