Modify Stoploss and Takeprofit of open orders

[dsh100]

Hi everyone. I need help. I am trying to create a ea that will look through the open orders pool and if there is an open order it will modify the order to add both a take profit and stoploss. If there isn't an order it will just keep looking the time of the day is over. This is what I did so far. Its not working when I add it to my chart. Can someone help me or tell me why please?

int start(){  

if(OrdersTotal()>=1)// start modifying 

     {

      for (int i=0; i<OrdersTotal(); i++)

         {

            if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)) // check for a opened position

               if(OrderStopLoss()== 0 && OrderTakeProfit()==0)

                  if (OrderSymbol()==Symbol())

                     if(OrderType()== OP_SELL)  // check if short position is open on symbol

                        bool res=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),OrderOpenPrice()-pips*StopLoss,OrderOpenPrice()+TakeProfit*pips,0,Green); //modify sell order

                           if(!res) // not a short position check if its a buy position

                              if(OrderType()==OP_BUY && OrderSymbol()==Symbol()) 

                                 bool ress=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),OrderOpenPrice()+pips*StopLoss,OrderOpenPrice()-TakeProfit*pips,0,Red);  //modify buy order

         }

    }

  return(false);

}               

//-- end
