Tradestation - Please Help!

Did you go through the entire HELP manual that is in the program? Did you read the printed manual?

 

"Hmmm, that's odd. This may sound like a dumb question, but did you verify the signal? I just created a quick test signal and as soon as I verified it, I had access to it in the strategy builder's list of signals."

Thanks war eagle - you hit the nail right on the head.

It's telling me that 'matching left comment brace '{' is missing.

The code is the Turtle system, and was kindly posted to me by WD Gann. I'm not sure what to do with this bracket, and whether it is part of the system. I have pasted the code below - is anyone able to help me? Would deleting this brace ruin the system? (the brace is 12 lines from the bottom)

Many thanks

Jo

I couldn't find your missing bracket. I know TS6 will show you where it is missing. I'm guessing 2000i doesn't do that for you?

 

Hi Tyler - Its the one 3 lines up on the bit I pasted below (End;})

I haven't got a clue what } means, and whether it needs to even be there in this context - can you help?

Thanks a lot

Jo

looks like you should delete it. Those brackets are used to insert comments that aren't read by easy language.

 

Glad you found the problem. Tyler is right.
