Orders in TradeStation don't have any "memory."  They apply ONLY to 
the next bar.

You'll have to save the value of high+1 in a variable, and re-issue 
the buy order on EVERY bar until the price is hit or your buy 
condition is cancelled.

It's a pain, and it complicates system development, but that's 
TradeStation.
