(mql4 newbie)Help with my first indicator - chaging the range of the indicator's values when the time frame changes.

[[Deleted]]

Hi,

I'm new to programming.

Just wrote my first Indicator and I have a problem.

The range of the indicator's values e change considerably when the time frames change.

So, I wish to find a way to set different range for each time frame.

I defined the range with "#property indicator_minimum" and "#property indicator_maximum"

How do I make the value of those properties change each time the user changes the time frame?

I know exactly which range values I want for each time frame.

Thanks,

Yon.

get the current period => https://docs.mql4.com/windows/Period

then define the range (if value is X, range = N) => https://docs.mql4.com/constants/timeframes

no?

Thanks ricx for your fast reply.

As I understand, the value of "#property indicator_minimum/maximum" is determined at the beginning of the code and cannot be addressed in the the "int start() " section. I do not see how I can change the values of "#property indicator_minimum/maximum" after the initialization of the indicator.

OK - found a simple solution which made me feel quite stupid - I deleted the "#property indicator_minimum/maximum" lines. And now the range is automatically adjusted to the indicator's values range. I did not have to define the range at first.

Thanks again,

Yon.
