Thank you in advance for any help
Maybe this code was embedded in another function? or maybe the previous function wasn't closes correctly with a "}" ? or maybe an extra "{" was inserted in the previous function?
You see, it might be that this code you included is perfectly correct, but the compiler thinks that it's in an incorrect part of the overall program.
Hello and thank you for reading,
I can understand that I made a mistake by not disclosing the code completely. I will need to put it in an attachment. Thanks again for any help.

If statement: - missing "}"
And " return (True), not return (Buy_Highest=True)
Thank you to all,
My hurried modification induced my own problem. Rafaell, your explanation was clear and to the point. Thank you.

Hello to All
Thank you in the past for all your help. The help I have received is of course a learning experience for me, but in hopes that others will benefit from my mistakes.
In this problem, an error occurs 'Function definition unexpected' appears after I have modified a previous known good code. The modifications are NOT within the area where the error occurs. I give a portion of the code because when I attempted the first time, the text in the SRC was too long.
The description of the problem is thread, Part one.
Next thread will be the code with ??????????? indentifing the error.
Thanks for reading and for any clarification
Huckleberry
