Is it possible to make an EA switch the timeframe it trades on automatically? Or would this have to be manually done?

I wanted to incorporate trading at certain times in a different way into my EA and was wondering if possible I could change the timeframe and settings my EA works on depending on the time?

Thanks :)

Of course, you can, as Seng referenced. You call it, return, and then go through a de-init/init cycle.

The only real problem is after — not repeatedly changing. Using time solves that.
