Strategy builder not working

[Igor Miti]

I wanted to create a take profit target that was as big as the candle before the entry. I did so by using this formula: "ExitLongLimit(DefaultQuantity, (High[1] + ((High[1] - Low[1])) ))" (for long trades), and it initially places the order where i want it to be, but then it moves higher as soon as the next candle begins if the order was not filled within the first one. I tried to write the exact same thing in the stop loss and profit target section but when i try to backest the strategy it places 0 orders, and if i try to use it in replay mode it refuses to activate. I can share the code and other issues i have with it if necessary.
