I am trying to set up a new custom scan and I am getting an error message that states: Invalid statement. I cant figure out what I am doing wrong. I am completely new at this. I have never set up a scan before.

Here is the code I am trying to input:
Software code for the Think-Or-Swim platform
This code is for the Doji pattern:

Def Stoc = StochasticSlow(12, 1);

Def MinVolume = Average(Volume, 90);

Plot DojiPattern = AbsValue(Open - Close) <= (High – Low) * .1
And Close > 25 And Stoc < 20 And MinVolume > 200000;

DojiPattern.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
DojiPattern.SetDefaultColor(Color.Light_GRAY);

I am getting the error message for the last two parameters; the DojiPattern lines. The first three lines were accepted.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

last two lines plots gray arrow on chart when condition is true....no need of it for scanning. Simply delete both lines
