Function problem

[Abraham]

I've written this indicator and I get the response "not all control paths return a value" in my function area (at the bottom) and I can't work out what is wrong... can anybody help? I seem to have something wrong with my function structure. I don't fully understand the relationship between for(int i=pos;i<rates_total;i++) in the main section and for(int k=StartPosition;k<RatesCount;k++) in my function. The reason I have this problem is because the graph was not reading my function in real time and I don't know why so I tried to add (int k=StartPosition;k<RatesCount;k++) to fix this.
