Hi coding gurus, 

just wondering if it's even possible to create an EA (to code) where the EA analyses two or three different time frames at the same time as part of making trading decision ??

Yes, of course it is possible.

it's possible but only in MT5

Please don't post false information.

Of course it is possible for MT4.

I want to clarify, I was specifying multi-timeframes at once within a pair NOT multi-pairs

It was perfectly clear before, so the answer is still yes.

 

Of course, it's possible — TF within a symbol or multiple symbols.

On MT4: Unless the current chart is that specific symbol(s)/TF(s) referenced, you must handle 4066/4073 errors before accessing candle/indicator values.

Thanks Keith! I have this trading ideas and going to post it to freelance section for an EA. But how do I know whether a coder has broad knowledge and skill and instead of the one that is more limited. eg. they say it's not possible but actually it is

You will see some coders answering questions in the forum and you should be able to judge how knowledgeable they are. Click on their profile and see if they do freelance work. You can place a personal job for them.

 
I'll try that, thanks again Keith. And thanks William for your reply but I don't code.
