Modify and EA

Hello everyone,
I’ve found a very good expert advisor which, if well modified can made a lot of pips.
The EA is called Big Dog, and unfortunately I can’t find who made it.
The EA is quite easy you just put a time box and he took the low and the high and put a sell order under the low and a buy order over the high, so as you understood is a brake-out EA.
The only problem is that it hasn’t a lot of features.
It has:

First Take Profit
Second Take Profit
Trailing Stop
Use Stop Loss (yes or no)
Stop Loss
Lots
Slippage
WindowStart
WindowEnd
Use Money Management (yes or no)
Account Is Micro (yes or no)
Risk

Now… the second stop loss don’t work, would be good to fix it… and I would like to add:

first take profit 30%
second take profit 30%
third take profit 30%
fourth take profit 10%
at each take profit reach move stop loss to the previous one.
BE automatically
orders 3 or 4 pips over/under the high/low
Delate opposite orders when take profit is hit

If we can modify this EA with this features I can guarantee that putting the time 07/09 gmt with the pairs EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, NZDUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD we can have really nice profits and if the first take profit is low at 15pips, is almost always hit.
You can google big dog brake-out.
If anyone is interested and know how to modify this EA please comment, would be a great help for everyone.
Have a nice day!
