1. Don't Hijack other threads for your off-topic post. Next time, make your own, new, thread.

2. MT4: Learn to code it.
   MT5: Begin learning to code it.

   If you don't learn MQL4/5, there is no common language for us to communicate. If we tell you what you need, you can't code it. If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into your code.

   Or pay (Freelance) someone to code it. Top of every page is the link Freelance.

   We're not going to code it for you (although it could happen if you are lucky or the problem is interesting.) We are willing to help you when you post your attempt (using CODE button) and state the nature of your problem.

I need some support at this point

')' - open parenthesis expected

// Calculate resistance and support levels
   for (int i = prev_calculated; i < rates_total; i++)
   {
      double resistance_level = high[i] + (ticks_away * Point);
      double support_level = low[i] - (ticks_away * Point);
   }

Please, always use the CODE button (Alt-S) when inserting code.

@Bernard Fiagbe #: ')' - open parenthesis expected

The issue in your code is "Point". It should either be the predefined variable "_Point" or the function "Point()".

// Calculate resistance and support levels
   for (int i = prev_calculated; i < rates_total; i++)
   {
      double resistance_level = high[i] + (ticks_away * _Point);
      double support_level = low[i] - (ticks_away * _Point);
   }

Also, please note that the tick size and point size are not necessarily the same.

Symbol Point Value

Here are two examples from AMP Global (Europe):

• Micro E-mini S&P 500 (Futures): point size = 0.01, tick size = 0.25, tick value = $1.25
• EURO STOXX Banks (Stock Index): point size = 0.01, tick size = 0.05, tick value = €2.50

Symbol Point Value

double
   dbTickSize   = SymbolInfoDouble( _Symbol, SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_SIZE  ), // Tick size
   dbTickValue  = SymbolInfoDouble( _Symbol, SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE ), // Tick value
   dbPointSize  = SymbolInfoDouble( _Symbol, SYMBOL_POINT ),            // Point size
   dbPointValue = dbTickValue * dbPointSize / dbTickSize;               // Point value

Remember, it's best to use tick size and tick value in your calculations, instead of point size and its value.
