you evaluate your condition at 1200. At that time your code assigns the value of the reserved word High to your variable HP i.e. HP = High and thus your check for High > HP can never be true at 1200.
Without knowing what exactly you want to check for it's hard to point you into the right direction, but maybe you can elaborate a bit more on the exact condition you want to check for.
I am trying to assign a 1 if anytime after 1200 if the high of 1200 bar is exceeded by .01 points ( 1 tick) or a -1 if the low of the 1200 bar is exceeded by .01 points or 1 tick.
you evaluate you conditions within a if ... then begin ... end conditional branch i.e. only if Time = 1200 and since you assign High to HP at 1200 and perform your check at 1200 only, your condition High +.01 > HP will always be true.
Depending on the instrument you apply this to you might not need the additional +/-1 0.01, but to achieve what you have in mind the checks need to be moved out of the if Time = 1200 block. Otherwise they won't be evaluated every bar.
