Custom timeframe in MT5

 

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to display a chart in M18. This timeframe is not native in MT5. I made some search on the forum and they all talk about  custom symbols (at least the ones I read) so I tried to do a custom symbol using this page https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/trading_advanced/custom_instruments but I didn't figure out how I can change the timeframe to M18.


I would appreciate it if anyone would help me

thank you in advance

The way i would solve this is to create an INdicator that displays candles/bars and uses M1 data to compond the desired information. 

Displaying could be an issue concerning the time scale on the chart.

Thanks for your answer.
