Timeframe as input

[BlueMoon]

Is it possible? I tried this but it seems to be not working.

For the Constant that is the timeframe, the data type should be ENUM_TIMEFRAMES instead of double. And the default value should be something like PERIOD_H1.

@fxdreema said in Timeframe as input:

PERIOD_H1

That worked like a charm! Thank you so much

Does it also work for MT4? I do not get Error messages but it's not working. Could you help me?

TIA Daniel

@daniel95 Sovled the problem by name the timeframe not "timeframe"...

[fxDreema]

Oh yes, there was some problem when you have a constant/variable named like "Timeframe", because there is a parameter with the same name already (that Timeframe below Symbol). It's some weird problem that I have to somehow fix, but I'm also scared to touch this part of fxDreema, because I can easily broke something else

ENUM_TIMEFRAMES

@fxDreema said in Timeframe as input:

NUM_TIMEFRAMES

And for a variable that is a timeframe, what should the data type be?

[jstap]

it's enum, add how mql5 says: https://docs.mql4.com/constants/chartconstants/enum_timeframes

Thank you jstap!
