unbalanced left paranthesis

New comment
 

Hi.

I have got a problem trying to use EA calles "usualexpert.mq4" taken from S. Kovalyov book available on mql4.com website. I copied all fuctions and #include files from the book, made an attempt to compile the following code (which is almost the same as "usualexpert.mq4" EA):

#include <stdlib.mqh>
#include <stderror.mqh>
#include <WinUser32.mqh>
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 --
#include <Variables.mqh>   // Description of variables 
#include <Terminal.mqh>    // Order accounting
#include <Events.mqh>      // Event tracking function
#include <Inform.mqh>      // Data function
#include <Trade.mqh>       // Trade function
#include <Open_Ord.mqh>    // Opening one order of the preset type
#include <Close_All.mqh>   // Closing all orders of the preset type
#include <Tral_Stop.mqh>   // StopLoss modification for all orders of the preset type
#include <Lot.mqh>         // Calculation of the amount of lots
#include <Criterion.mqh>   // Trading criteria
#include <Errors.mqh>      // Error processing function
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 --
int init()                             // Special function 'init'  
   {   
   Level_old=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL );//Min. distance   
   Terminal();                         // Order accounting function    
   return;                             // Exit init()   
   }
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 --
int start()                            // Special function 'start'  
   {  
   Terminal();                         // Order accounting function    
   Events();                           // Information about events   
   Trade(Criterion());                 // Trade function   
   Inform(0);                          // To change the color of objects   
   return;                             // Exit start()  
   }
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 --
int deinit()                           // Special function deinit()  
   {   
   Inform(-1);                         // To delete objects   
   return;                             // Exit deinit()  
   }
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 --
and got following message: "\'end_of_program' - unbalanced left paranthesis". I studied the code many times and haven't found any mistakes with the paranthesis. What can be wrong? Is it something with the complier??

Likely the problem is in one of the included files - i.e. somewhere in a .mqh file

Rem out all lines in your EA, like

//    Level_old=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL );//Min. distance   
//    Terminal();                         // Order accounting function

and if the error still persists, rem out the #include items one by one, like

// #include <Errors.mqh>      // Error processing function

Good Luck

Thanks BB. After removing #include files one by one I discover that somethings wrong with #include <CloseAll.mqh> file (which I modified after coping from the book - probabely I made some mistake). I will focus on this part of EA and hopefully solve the problem.

 

an editor like Geany highlights the corresponding parenthesis, if the cursor is on the other.

helps a lot

choose document -> filetype -> C to highlight MQL code

 
Thanks for tip meikel.
