The easiest way to code such a thing is to call the open time of every H1 bar that is stored in MT5. Here's some code from another thread that trades every bar regardless of chart timeframe, so just be sure to run it on an H1 chart.

How to start with MQL5

Open position every new candle.

First we define a new bar.

If this is a new bar - open a BUY position with a minimum volume.

//| Expert tick function                                             |

void OnTick()
  {
//--- we work only at the time of the birth of new bar
   datetime time_0=iTime(m_symbol.Name(),Period(),0);
   if(time_0==m_prev_bars)
      return;
   m_prev_bars=time_0;
//---
   m_trade.Buy(m_symbol.LotsMin());
  }

Also, you'll need to add your SL and TP to:

   m_trade.Buy(m_symbol.LotsMin())

ok, If i want 10 pips TP and 1 pip SL, and 0.1 lots what should i write ? best regards

For 0.1 lots, just replace: 
m_symbol.LotsMin()

with 0.1, and use this code for SL and TP (a 1 pip SL is 10 points, and a 10 pip TP is 100 points):
