How to check the current timeframe

New comment
 
What is a good example code of how to use ENUM_TIMEFRAME, PERIOD_CURRENT, Period() and _Period?
Can I check the timeframe of the current chat by writing the following?

if (Period() == ENUM_TIMEFRAME)
   Bla bla bla

or

if (ENUM_TIMEFRAME == PERIOD_CURRENT)
   Bla bla bla

Both examples are giving me error.

  2. The first is equivalent to if(15 == int) babble.
  3. The second is equivalent to (if int == 0) babble.
  4. The current chart is always the current chart. What you are trying to test makes no sense.
  5. Period() and _Period are identical. Period_Current equals zero.
