Problem with OBJPROP_TIMEFRAMES

[Stanislav Ivanov]

Hi, Im having some problems with showing certain objects only in specific TF. What happens is that it doesnt show  em at all.

string tf = "";
int timeframe = 0;
string comment="";
     switch(Period()){
      case 1: comment="BB_M1"; tf="M1";timeframe=0x0001;
      case 5: comment="BB_M5";tf="M5";timeframe =0x0002;
      case 15:comment="BB_M15";tf="M15";timeframe=0x0004;
      case 30:comment="BB_M30";tf="M30";timeframe=0x0008;
      case 60:comment="BB_H1";tf="H1";timeframe=0x0010;
      case 240: comment="BB_H4";tf="H4";timeframe=0x0020;
      case 1440: comment="BB_D1";tf="D1";timeframe=0x0040;
      case 10080: comment="BB_W1";tf="W1";timeframe=0x0080;
      case 43200: comment="BB_MN1";tf="MN1";timeframe=0x0100;
}
bool ArrowCreate(const long              chart_ID=0,           // chart's ID
                 const string            name="Arrow",         // arrow name

Thanks , I did search, but nothing usefull came up, this is good, but even through using that code didnt quite work, arrows are ok now, but  are  not restsricted to tf

   ObjectSetInteger(chart_ID,name,OBJPROP_TIMEFRAMES,PeriodToVisibility(0));

This is what i used, after cleaning a bit the code

int TfToPeriod(eTF tf)
  {
   return periods[tf];
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//|                                                                  |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
eTF PeriodToTf(int period=PERIOD_CURRENT)
  {
   eTF tf=eTF_M1;
   while(periods[tf]!=period)++tf;
   return tf;
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//|                                                                  |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int PeriodToVisibility(int period=PERIOD_CURRENT)
  {
   return visibility[ PeriodToTf(period) ];
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

Hi guys,

you can use this function for MQL5 and edit as you wish for MT4:

int PeriodToVisibility(ENUM_TIMEFRAMES VisibilityPeriod)
{
   int i;
   int periods[]    = { PERIOD_M1, PERIOD_M2, PERIOD_M3, PERIOD_M4, PERIOD_M5, PERIOD_M6, PERIOD_M10, PERIOD_M12, PERIOD_M15, PERIOD_M20, PERIOD_M30, PERIOD_H1, PERIOD_H2, PERIOD_H3, PERIOD_H4, PERIOD_H6, PERIOD_H8, PERIOD_H12, PERIOD_D1, PERIOD_W1, PERIOD_MN1};
   int visibility[] = { OBJ_PERIOD_M1, OBJ_PERIOD_M2, OBJ_PERIOD_M3, OBJ_PERIOD_M4, OBJ_PERIOD_M5, OBJ_PERIOD_M6, OBJ_PERIOD_M10, OBJ_PERIOD_M12, OBJ_PERIOD_M15, OBJ_PERIOD_M20, OBJ_PERIOD_M30, OBJ_PERIOD_H1, OBJ_PERIOD_H2, OBJ_PERIOD_H3, OBJ_PERIOD_H4, OBJ_PERIOD_H6, OBJ_PERIOD_H8, OBJ_PERIOD_H12, OBJ_PERIOD_D1, OBJ_PERIOD_W1, OBJ_PERIOD_MN1};
   if (VisibilityPeriod == PERIOD_CURRENT)
      VisibilityPeriod = Period();
   for (i = 0; i < 21; i++)
      if (VisibilityPeriod == periods[i])
         break;
   return(visibility[i]);
}
