pine script error - script could not be translated from: null

Question

My pine code (simple trading bot) is not compiling and returns the error in Tradeviews editor "Script could not be translated from: null".

I tried to compile part by part, and researched online, but failed.

Can somebody help?

Much appreciated, Thx, Denis

plot(consolidatingMarket(consolidationPeriod, consolidationThreshold))

function consolidatingMarket(period, threshold)

var avgRange = sma(range, period)
return range \<= avgRange \* threshold

var avgRange = sma(range, period)

function enterLong()
{
var stopLossPrice = entryPrice \* (1 - stopLoss/100)
var takeProfitPrice = entryPrice \* (1 + takeProfit/100)
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long, stop_loss=stopLossPrice, take_profit=takeProfitPrice)
}

function exit()

strategy.close()

You should start reading the pinescript manual. Your code is NOT in pinescript langage.
Read at least on time this User Manual and look how the examples are made: https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/en/v5/index.html
