From your first post, I missed this... can you give an example for the suggestion you posted in bold?

i tried to do a MTF version but can't seem to get it to work, it defaults to the chart timeframe.
probably something really simple that i don't know how to do yet. would really appreciate a pointer in the right direction. i'll post both here:

In your calls to iLow(), iHigh() etc, you are using a string to represent the selected timeframe:

Code: Select all

iLow(pair1, TimeFrameStr, 0);
iLow() is actually looking for an integer value, so there is no need for you to convert the entered integer value in TimeFrame, just use it directly:

Code: Select all

iLow(pair1, TimeFrame, 0);
