Doubt with multi time frame!!

New comment
 

Hi,

 I'm learning to program. I already used several functions, but now I want to know how to program multi time frame indicators. For example, how I can get signals fractals "m15" in "m5" (current time frame)? 

I do not know how to work with functions of time or bars. 

If anyone can tell me how I can start would appreciate. 

Thank you very much

Use iBarShift()

   int shift = iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_M15,Time[i]);
   double fractal_upper = iFractals(NULL,PERIOD_M15,MODE_UPPER,shift);
 

The indicator shows no sign:

You have to declare an array and assign it to a buffer.

The reason for the 3 arrows appearing is because one candle in M15 is 3 candles in M5? 

Only to learn, there is a solution? 
How to manage time in this situation ?. 

Thank you very much pidPod

 

 

 
I try to use the iCustom iBarshift indicator, but no signal. 

The fractalsUp, in current time frame indicator works correctly, but if I try to display signs of "m15" in "m5", I have no signal.

I'll have to see your fractalsUp indicator to know where the problem is.

fractalsUp run correctly in current time frame:

 

 

 

So I think, the problem is in the code of last message. 

Try using iBarShift() in fractalsUp instead?

I send you a PM,

I try but   I continued without signal
