Thanks for the guidance Spotware, but still getting below error:
03/01/2000 03:00:00.000 | Crashed in OnBar with NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Here is the snippet of code what is causing the error:

protected override void OnBar()
{
    
    dblLots = 0.1;

    TradeResult result = PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Symbol.QuantityToVolume(dblLots), dblPriceBuy, String.Concat("myStopBuy-", dblLots), dblSlBuy, dblPipsTP, Server.Time.AddHours(1));
    if (result.IsSuccessful)
    {
       ChartObjects.DrawText(String.Concat("myStopBuy-", result.Position.Id), strArrowUp, MarketSeries.OpenTime.GetIndexByTime(result.Position.EntryTime), result.Position.EntryPrice - 5 * Symbol.PipSize, VerticalAlignment.Bottom, HorizontalAlignment.Center);
    }
    else
    {
        Print("myStopBuy was not successful. Error: {0} - Lots: {1}", result.Error.Value, dblLots);
    }
    
}
