You wanted to exit at the first profitable open. You could do
something like this:
exitlong at EntryPrice limit;
which would exit at your entry price or better. Unfortunately it
won't exit *only* at a profitable open, but at ANY time that the
price exceeds your entry. If you require only a profitable open,
I think you'll either have to figure out a way to use "next bar",
or maybe move to intraday data and only issue the order on the
closing bar of the day (so it's active only on the first bar of
the next day).

Check your strategy settings to see if Properties -> "Generate
orders for next bar" is checked. TS only pops up the annoying
"orders have changed/etc" dialog boxes, and enters the orders and
positions in the STCC, if that box is checked.
