You have syntax errors on four lines at pBuyprice etc
pBuyPrice = tick + fRound+(fInRange(IIf(Buy, fInd2, 0), up), up);
pShortPrice = -tick + fRound(fInRange(IIf(Short, fInd2, 0), dn), dn);
pSellPrice = -tick + fRound(fInRange(IIf(Sell, fInd2, 0), dn), dn);
pCoverPrice = tick + fRound(fInRange(IIf(Cover, fInd2, 0), up), up);
Ihave also been looking at this same problem during the minute when
the bar comes and disappears.
