do you want to use stop or limit order for this, or simple market order?

 

The problem with stop/limit orders is that brokers don’t allow stop/limit orders so close to the actual price, the difference must be 5-20 pips, depending on broker.

 

So one possibility is to use condition

IF

Bid > Close(1) + ConvertToRealPips(1)

THEN

Enter at market

 

This doesn’t guarantee you’ll enter exactly 1 pip above close, you could get some slippage.

Serious brokers don´t have a limit for stop / limit orders anymore nowadays (0 pips). Go with a serious non-market-maker broker. Global Prime Australia for example has 0 stop level.
