@p3ym4n you need a modified, custom indicator for that.

Well moving averages have a little loophole, you can just multiply the period by 48 because there are 48 5-minute bars in one 4h bar. So 10-MA on h4 is the same as 480-MA on 5-minute.

my EA is based on objects on the chart

Well you did say indicator ;-))

I'm not sure you can do it as Object on the chart is reading exactly that. The object on the chart you have the EA on....*

Hello.
It doesn't work for me either
I have made a Basic Purchasing system alone.
And in the condition I have set the Time Frame to be 5 min.
So I think... if I do a BackTesting in 1 min.
It should give me, the entries that are made in 5 min.
But it's not like that…
Thank you.
