Some comments:

1. The sc.SetDefaults section does not contain any of the automated trading related variables which define how the automated trading management of Sierra Chart is applied to the trading system. This is critical to have. You need to refer to the examples:

More information can be found here:

2. Your code does not indicate any consideration of how to exit your position. You need some code to exit the position.

3. Check your current Position before submitting an entry order to make sure you are flat before entering the market. Although this depends upon how you are going to exit your position.
