Hi there
I would like to use the same signal criteria on two different time frames, ie. 1 min and 10 min and when they are both true enter a trade, however I only got 1 min data in the database.
Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

Re: Multi timeframes Trading strategy
Most of intraday resolutions are built out of 1 minute data. You just need to have 2 data series on chart:...however I only got 1 min data in the database.
1) File -> New Chart window -> ... -> Settings tab -> Resolution: 1 minute -> ... -> Ok;
2) Right-click on the chart -> Insert Instruments... -> ... -> Settings tab -> Resolution: 10 minute -> ... -> Ok.
You can reference both data series from script and check the same conditions on both of them:
Code: Select all
Vars: condition1(false), condition2(false);
If Close > CLose[1] then Condition1 = true;
If Close of data2 > Close[1] of data2 then Condition2 = true;
If Condition1 and Condition2 then buy next bar market;
