Using Constants for Timeframe

[capitalfreedom]

is it possible to use constants for Timeframe selection. Right now I am receiving undeclared identifier error

Yes it is but it depends where you mean.

[sktsec]

The data type is : ENUM_TIMEFRAMES

Value 0 for current timeframe

https://fxdreema.com/shared/3u6RFQdic The constant in question is the TStart_TF constant. @sktsec i'm not quite sure how i would enter that data type

[sktsec]

@capitalfreedom said in Using Constants for Timeframe:

TStart_TF

Enter ENUM_TIMEFRAMES at the leftmost entry. Then your constant name

@sktsec Awesome thanks! Is there a breakdown to know what number is for which timeframe. like 0 being the current etc?

@capitalfreedom
e.g. PERIOD_M5 is 5-minute period.

Following link have all the details. As your input will handle it all provided you have selected the favorable timeframe, actually you won't need to worry about that.
