Formula Help-MS ver 5.11

I do need some formula help.  I have a method that I have been trading with
some success, and, like all traders, I want to adjust (tinker) with it to
test the parameters.

I want to enter long when the open is "n" below the previous day's close
and then trades "n" above the previous day's close.  If today's H+L is
equal to or greater than the 10 day ATR, then no entry.
The profit target will be 10 da ATR-(L+previous day's close).  The exit
will be the profit target or MOC.

I can and have traded this visually, but I need to test the method for
greater confidence and so that I can establish stop values, i.e. save my
southernmost extremity.  Again, I have ver 5.11, so I do not have the
"prev" function.  What I have done, does not return a trade result:
ENTER LONG
When(O+(Mov(ATR(10),1,S )*.250 ) < Ref(C,-1) AND 
O+(Mov(ATR(10),1,S ) *.125)>Ref(C,-1)) 

Where have I gone wrong?
