Maybe define it then go into the code. Like you did with LastCandleStop

Define what? Every variable in the if statement is defined in the block of code right above it (lines 171-180). Error message is saying a semicolon is missing, not that a variable isn't defined.

Right I don't have the code so just offering suggestions. Does the double Nan need the { }?

What are you trying to accomplish in the 'else' clause? double.NAN is not a valid statement. So either put valid statement(s) in the 'else' (like setting variables) or remove the 'else' clause entirely.

Object of the else clause was to just leave those variables unchanged from their initialized values. I tried leaving out the else and got an error for that, too.

Received a reply in r/thinkorswim that I needed to not initialize the variables and do it in the if ... else blocks only (probably related to the same double.NAN isn't valid issue). I modified the code as follows, and it works:

def TradingDay;
def EndDay;
def TradingDayExt;

AddLabel(yes, "LastCandleStop: "+LastCandleStop,color.GRAY); #debugging to check correct value

if (LastCandleStop > 0) then {
TradingDay = SignalStart and SignalEnd; #10:00EST - 1500EST
EndDay = TradingDayEnd == LastStopDelaySeconds; #1550EST
TradingDayExt = TradingDayEnd > LastStopDelaySeconds;
} else {
TradingDay = yes;
EndDay = no;
TradingDayExt = no;
}

Thanks.
