Open[0] in your OrderSend function is Bid price and you can't use it at BUY (you have to use Ask price).
You should check your condition only on a new bar event and instead of Close[0] in your OrderSend use Bid at SELL and Ask at BUY.

If i use Bid or Ask, it would have a problem! As u see in this picture, i want to open order at 1 but it open at the middle of bar! Is there any other way to do it?

Of course. It is because of spread. Chart prices are Bid prices but if you want to open a long trade you have to buy at Ask price. If I can advise you something don't trade on an 1 minute chart. There is often spread greater than some candles.
