it shouldnt be at the bottom of your building tree, its a controlling block meaning anything set to "current" in Timeframe, that is connected below it, will be set to whatever is set for timeframe in that controlling block

@tipsywisdom yes i have that right connected like thats, but on the chart if i attach it to a 1hr chart will it still look at lower time frames. thanks

I think the better way to understand it is; if you are not explicitly controlling the time of each block, or each tree with the controlling block as you did, then you EA will be affected by the manual time that you have set on the EA backtester.
In short, if you change that time, it should not affect your EA at all. That manual time selection should only be look at as a developer as the time of frame in which we view the EA. In real time, that would be the same as keeping the same EA but operating it on a different time frame, it should still exactly the same unless you reload the EA to trade on a different time frame. -
@fxdreema-8 This block will not change the displayed chart, so is difficult to see what it's done, set up a condition that is easy to see the difference on timeframes, manually change the time frame so you can see how it's worked.

@jstap does the change timeframe block work for screenshot? I am trying to achieve it, but it takes shots of only the current timeframe. Any idea?
