For large amounts of code, attach it - We hate EA builder
- You couldn't be bothered to learn mql4, therefor there is no common language for us to communicate.
- There are only two choices: learn to code it, or pay someone. We're not going to code it FOR you. We are willing to HELP you when you post your attempt (using SRC) and the nature of your problem, but we are not going to debug your hundreds lines of code.
- EA builder makes bad code counting up while closing multiple orders.
- EA builder makes bad code Bars is unreliable (max bars on chart) volume is unreliable (miss ticks) Always use time. New candle - MQL4 forum
- EA builder makes bad code Not adjusting for 4/5 digit brokers, TP/SL
and slippage:double pip = StringFind(_Symbol,"JPY") < 0 ? 0.01 : 0.0001;
int slippage = 3 * int(pip / _Point); - EA builder makes bad code not adjusting for ECN brokers.
- EA builder
makes bad code not checking return
codes.
- EATree uses objects on chart to save values - not persistent storage (files or GV+Flush.) No recovery (crash/reboot.)

Hi, I'm attempting to implement a parabolic SAR based strategy using a source created using EA Builder.
When I compile the code, the error shows:
'{' - function definition unexpected
The error relates to the item highlighted below:

if Filter then
Sell ("exit2") next bar at market;
end;
