Oncalculate error when converting mql4 indicator to mql5

[Maximillian47]

Hello everyone,

First of all my apologies if I am in the wrong section. Please can someone help me in converting an indicator from mql4 to mql5 ?
I am trying for weeks to convert the indicator, but I just have some basic knowledge in programming. I made some research about that topic and try all the tools and techniques that were advised but can't figure out the issue.
Whatever tool or technique I used, even using them together, I ended up with the same 3 errors:
'}' - unexpected end of program
'{' - unbalanced parentheses
OnCalculate function not found in custom indicator.

(find attached the original file and the converted one)

I was able to fix all the errors but these one are the hardest to fix.(Reminder: The indicator works perfectly on MT4.)
Thus if someone can help me or just tell me what to look for to fix that issue it will be great.
Thank you in advance.

Do not post code that will not compile.

bool ObjectSet(const string name, const OBJPROP_DOUBLE_BROKER &property, const double value)
{               «««« where is this terminated?
  return ObjectSetDouble(0, name, property.p, property.i, value);

vvvv where can this code ever be called?
  int adjustment = MathMod(SymbolInfoInteger(0,SYMBOL_DIGITS), 2);
   ⋮
   
   string sym = Symbol();
   {            «««« where is this terminated?
   if      (sym == prefix+"EURUSD"+suffix) root=1.2000;
   
   ArrayResize(storage, 0);

vvv what is this BS?   
  int createByLine(objectPrefix + "byline","Indicator by Akuma99, http://www.beginnertrader.com", 8, 2, 5, 10);

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. You are totally right in your comments.When I was trying to fix the issue I was asking myself the same questions.Well I am a bit confused now as I don't know how to raise my issue.
In summary, I got the indicator compiling fine on MT4 editor. As I want to use it on MT5 I used a script to convert it.But the author of the script mentioned that some errors needed to be fixed after the compilation and he provided a MQL4 to MQL5 porting table (ver. 0.2 coded by fai.).Unfortunately that porting table wasn't enough as I ended with 41 errors after fixing them with the porting table.Then I used some other portions of codes suggested by other forums to get a rid of these errors and ended up with the 3 errors, I mentioned in my previous post. That is why the code seems to be a nonsense.For instance when I terminate the functions you mentioned, I get more and more errors.
Below is the code right after the conversion. I left it untouched so that you can see the errors which drive me crazy for weeks and led me to nowhere. :)
Sorry if it seems to be obvious as I am new to MQL programming.Once again thank you for trying to help.

It might be a useful indicator to some extent.

Nagisa Unada,

Thank you for your help. Will check it. Thanks :)

[Maximillian47]

Nagisa Unada,

Wow, the indicator runs perfectly. I am really grateful to you.

I think that there is no way for me to have been able to find some lines you added or modified. I was still trying but ended with a the indicator just showing up the name of the the author and the indicator after compiling it successfully.

So thank you one more time for your help.Really appreciate.

[Shino Unada]

You're welcome.
