Hi all I am new to coding in MQL4
I recently coded my first EA. After compiling many errors were returned due to syntax, that I managed to fix. However several errors still remain.
After searching the compilation errors, I am still left confused as to how they relate to the lines of code that have returned errors.
Any help in helping me understand/fixing this will be much appreciated.
Here are screenshots of the errors, as well as the code typed out. Thanks
