Question on Programming

Because my programming is "self-taught", to get beyond my current level of skill, I'm working through 2 C# books as well as online tutorials plus studying some strategy code that I've purchased over the years.

I'm looking for a way to add this structure (additional code removed) into a strategy script.

 
Code
if (useTrail){
	if (inTrail){
	}
        else{//not inTrail
	        if (breakEvenOn){//waiting for b/e move or opposite signal
		        if (!beHit){
		        }
		        else{//beHit
		        }//end if beHit
	        }//end if breakEvenOn
        }//end not inTrail
}//end useTrail
I've used this successfully in the past but it amounts to approximately 60 lines of code (for long or short) so I'm also trying to streamline (120 lines of code into say 20 or 30) as well as learn more advanced styles of programming. Plus, when I fight with some logic aspects (i.e. which should occur first? "!inTrail" or "inTrail", "!beHit" or "beHit"), I get confused.

I'm asking if there's a way to set up a Class or Method that would get the job done better. Any suggestions or links to appropriate tutorials will be greatly appreciated.
