You must define the Buy_Stop_Price in the start() ...

The Buy_Stop_Price calculation, like any calculation, must be done in your start() function. That's what I told earlier ... but you didn't read !

Again and again, you are calculating the Buy_Stop_Price outside the start() function ... which is wrong.

I told you at least 3 times in previous posts ...
