Illegal Else without a matching IF ERROR!

[Mike Adante]

Can someone please see why this code is not Compiling. 

Am studying an online course, where we're making a simple 2 Deviation BB Strategy (for educational purposes). 

Thanks in advance.

Please edit your post and

use the code button (Alt+S) when pasting code

I know that it is not obvious, but topics concerning MT4 and MQL4 have their own section.

In future please post in the correct section.

I will move your topic to the MQL4 and Metatrader 4 section.

1. Don't post your MT4 question in the MT5 General section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page?)
             General rules and best pratices of the Forum. - General - MQL5 programming forum?
   Next time post in the correct place.
2. Use the styler (control++) and you'll see where things don't line up and what is connected to what.
   

3. Please edit your (original) post and use the CODE button (Alt-S)! (For large amounts of code, attach it.)

On many places you have ";" in the "if" part.

Look closer.
