Sounds like you need to count the number of matching Brackets. There are online tools which can help with this if you search google otherwise you'll need to count.

 
  1. Use SRC
  2. I use notepad2 with matching () {} highlighting, jump to matching, etc.
  3. All code after a return is unreachable. Missing bracket?
    // no opened orders identified
if(AccountFreeMargin()<(1000*Lots))
{
Print("We have no money. Free Margin = ", AccountFreeMargin());
return(0);
// check for long position (BUY) possibility
if(MacdCurrent<0 && MacdCurrent>SignalCurrent ...
