need help with easy language OR breakout code:)

(login for full post details)

Hi guys,

I am new to this forum and I would like to get your support on the following strategy that I would like to adjust to trade the OR breakout for futures. I found this code on another post and I would like to make following modifications:
- add opening and closing time (for me 15.30 and 22.00 since I am based in Europe)currently this code takes the first bar of the day on the chart. I could use the index tickers but I usually trade on futures index
- add stop loss @high/low of opening range when going short/long
- take profit end of the day at 22:01 (CET time)

thanks a lot for your help

here is the code:

Inputs: iRangeLengthMin(30),

iBrakePoints(1),

FirstTrade=true;

TimeH=Time; TimeL=Time;

end;

// Range settings

If L<LowD(0)[1] then TimeL=Time; {if new H or L, remember the time of H or L}

If H>HighD(0)[1] then TimeH=Time;

If Time=OpenRangeTime then begin // if openning range is finished

end; // remember Range parameters

// ***************** Trade ******************

end;

If FirstTrade and Close<=RangeL then

begin

end;

end;
