CaneRandagio:

what's wrong in this code?

refers to the first if

thanks

No syntax error in that code, you probably forgot to add a semicolon or close a brace in other part of the code.

if I comment the block of code in question it compiles successfully.

I tried your code in isolation and it compiles file, the issue is elsewhere.

Post the rest of the code to see if I or another member can spot anything wrong.

The problem is with the code above your if.

The error is not in this block of code, it's somewhere else. My guess is that you forgot to add a semicolon to the end of a class or structure as
it can generate cryptic errors like this.

I also recommend that you use a source control system like Git, this way, in the future, if you get a similar problem you'll be able to pinpoint
all the parts of the project you changed that might have caused the issue.

I really don't know, I repeat ... if I comment on that little piece of code where the error is reported to me, everything is compiled normally.

I also tried to create a function where to put that code, same errors.
this is the github repository:

thanks guys

adxStatus is a type. The expression should take a variable of that type.

enum ADXStatus{neutral,bull,bear}adxStatus;
