Because of this

if (OrdersTotal()==0){

any current open order/s will stop any more ordering
Also, if you are on a sub-pip account, your Slippage of 3 is too small
So add this to your externs

extern int Slippage = 50;

and change this in the code

    OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, lots ,Ask, Slippage,0,0, "femi", MAGIC, 0, Blue);
    OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELL, lots ,Bid, Slippage,0,0, "femi", MAGIC, 0, Red);

Good Luck

Look for function ActiveTradesForMagicNumber in this EA https://www.mql5.com/en/code/8714
Shows you how to count open orders
