  • unbalanced parentheses

Just as the error is reporting, you have unbalanced parentheses. Meaning that for every opening "{", you do not have a corresponding closing "}", and for every opening "(", the corresponding closing ")". They are unbalanced, so you have to correct them.

  • wrong parameters count
The function you are using does not have the correct number of parameters. Lookup the function in the documentation and verify that you are using the correct number of parameters.
In the case of iMA(), it has 6 parameters: 
int  iMA(
   string               symbol,            // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES      period,            // period
   int                  ma_period,         // averaging period
   int                  ma_shift,          // horizontal shift
   ENUM_MA_METHOD       ma_method,         // smoothing type
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE   applied_price      // type of price or handle
   );

@Fernando Carreiro thank you! I'm just now seeing this. I've tried making a few EA's and I have one that I wanted to be a RVI cross and MA cross combined EA and it compiles but it doesn't do what I need it to do I feel like. The code its quite tricky as I am confused on how to get it to do exactly what I need it to do..I already have the code, let me attach it

I need help fixing this code. It would be greatly appreciated. It won't compile correctly and I am fairly new to coding.

You are using MQL4 code (mixed with MQL5) and expecting it to work on MQL5. That will not work. Either learn to convert it to proper MQL5 code or hire someone to do it for you.

Migrating from MQL4 to MQL5

Sergey Pavlov, 2010.05.17 13:32

This article is a quick guide to MQL4 language functions, it will help you to migrate your programs from MQL4 to MQL5. For each MQL4 function (except trading functions) the description and MQL5 implementation are presented, it allows you to reduce the conversion time significantly. For convenience, the MQL4 functions are divided into groups, similar to MQL4 Reference.
