Im a newbie to ThinkScript. Having trouble making this work.

I'm trying to create a on custom column for the following:

The close of the second bar(of the day) is greater than the high of the first bar(of the day).

The script should stop after the second bar with a binary (1 or 0) for the rest of the day - 1min time frame.

Code:
def isopen = if SecondsFromTime(0930) >= 0 and SecondsTillTime(0931) >= 0 then 1 else 0;

def cond=
close[1] > high[2]
;

plot signal= cond and isopen;

;

plot signal= cond and isopen;
This seems to work
Ruby:
def isopen = if SecondsFromTime(0930) >= 0 and SecondsTillTime(0931) >= 0 then 1 else 0;

def cond =
close[1] > high[2]
;

plot signal = cond and isopen == 1;
i've even tried correcting the previous code to no avail. The reasoning behind this code was to identify and stop at the second bar.

Code:
if SecondsFromTime(0931) >= 0 and SecondsTillTime(0931) >= 0 then 1 else 0;
