EA Code Errors making me go loopy

[Pete H]

HI all, 

Would be very grateful if anyone could figure out why my code is, throwing off the following errors:

'}' - unexpected end of program 426 2

'{' - unbalanced parentheses 59 1

My Code is attached.

Thanks v much!

Please provide code that compiles if possible.

This is a very simple error, and the description is very explicit: you are missing parentheses or brackets somewhere. The line and column is provided.

As written this: '{' - unbalanced parentheses 59 1 has no closing ]

So save your EA under a different name and  start from inner { - } pairs to delete them this way you can easily find where is the } missing. (The last else)

1. Pete H: '}' - unexpected end of program 426 2

   Obvious
2. A Custom indicator can't have an OnTick.
   
3. You can have the old event handlers or the new. Not both.
   

4. You should stop using the old event handlers (init, start, deinit) and IndicatorCounted() and start using new event handlers (OnInit, OnTick/OnCalculate, OnDeinit).

5.      sma = iMA(NULL, 0, g_smaPeriod, 0, MODE_SMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 1);
         kama = iCustom(NULL, 0, "KAMA", g_kamaFastPeriod, g_kamaSlowPeriod, g_kamaSignalPeriod, g_kamaFastMult, g_kamaSlowMult, g_kamaSignalMult, 0, 1);
