For that you need to use stops, as ndtrader suggested. However, I
don't think his code is doing exactly what you wanted. Your
description is unclear so I'm not sure.

That code says "if Condition1 is true on bar Z-1, then buy on bar Z+1
at the High of bar Z-1 plus X."
I think what you asked for was "if Condition1 is true on bar Z, then
buy on bar Z+1 at the High of bar Z plus X."
If so, the code for that is:
if Condition1 then buy at High+X stop;
Condition1 and High both reference the current bar. The buy stop
order is active on the next bar. (And ONLY on the next bar. Orders
in TS do not automatically stay in effect until hit or cancelled.)
If you actually wanted "if Condition1 is true on bar Z, then buy on
bar Z+1 at the High of bar Z-1 plus X," then it's
if Condition1 then buy at High[1]+X stop;
