Modify one section at the time and compile it,

Use the remark delimiters to block out large chunks at a time

/*

//// big chunk of code

*/


or just format your code like this - which will perform better, be easier to read and check, and actually then compile....

Get Notepad2.......its awesome for finding those missing brackets.

Thank you all, for your suggestions, i'm very grateful
Your unreadable code
 if ((iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,1)
<=iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_SIGNAL,1))
&&(iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,0)
>iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_SIGNAL,0))
||((iStochastic(NULL,0,14,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,1)
>=iStochastic(NULL,0,14,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_SIGNAL,1))
&&Close[2]>=Open[2]&&Close[1]<Open[1])//Signal Buy
Simple cleanup
double  m5.1    = iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,1),
        s5.1    = iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_SIGNAL,1),
        m5.0    = iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,0),
        s5.0    = iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_SIGNAL,0),
        m14.1   = iStochastic(NULL,0,14,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,1),
        s14.1   = iStochastic(NULL,0,14,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_SIGNAL,1);
bool    b2.up   = Close[2] >= Open[2],
        b1.dn   = Close[1] < Open[1];
 if ((m5.1<=s5.1) && (m5.0>s5.0) || ((M14.1>=s14.1) && b2.up && b1.dn)//Signal Buy
    12          1    2         1    23            2                  1 missing )
      {// :1                  
         {// :2                                                                
            {// :3

            }// :3 
         }// :2 
      }// :1

I found that numbering the brackets helps with what can be a very frustrating problem.
