CS1057

error Expected ; or a new line before found.

#What it means

A statement was complete, but more text followed on the same line. Two statements on one line need a ; between them.

#Typical cause

• Two statements on one line without ;.
• A missing operator between two values, as in close open.
• A missing comma between arguments.

#How to fix it

Add the missing operator or comma, or put the second statement on its own line (or after a ;).

#Example

//@chartscript 1
indicator("Body size")
const body = close open
plot(body)

Fixed

//@chartscript 1
indicator("Body size")
const body = close - open
plot(body)
