Multi-timeframe Fractals on same chart?

[torexvir]

Hi, 

Is there any way to plot the Fractals indicator on a different time frame from the current chart?

I have tried replacing the High[i] section with the iHigh function with iHigh(NULL,PERIOD_H4,0)[i]. However it doesn't seem to work and says an "array is missing [".

I am basically looking for it to plot multiple timeframe fractals on the one chart. Any ideas?

Thanks :)

iHigh(NULL,PERIOD_H4,i)

Pay attention to right "i". It must belong to the right timeframe (to PERIOD_H4 in this case).

Of course!!! 

Totally didn't spot that somehow ha. I'll give it a try. 

Thank you 😁

:

iHigh(NULL,PERIOD_H4,i)

Pay attention to right "i". It must belong to the right timeframe (to PERIOD_H4 in this case).

So i made the changes and the bugs disappeared. Made some other changes to account for the fact i am retrieving counted bars as iBars now and not simply Bars. However all i am getting now is the highs and lows of every candle on the 4hr timeframe plotted. Im basically just looking for the 4hr fractals plotted on any other timeframe? 

Thanks

This is the code^^^^

Is not that useless with this?

I think that it must be in multi-time frame format.
