it possible to run parameters on different periods in the same EA?

 
I have two questions.

First of all, is it possible to run parameters on different periods in the same EA? And if it is, can you do this in the strategy tester also?

Also is it possible to change an order's magic number?

thanks

Yep.
Pass 0 as timeframe parameter in all relevant calls. 0 means that current timeframe is used. Then choose any available timeframe on EA chart or in the tester.

Nope.
 
no I meant 2 different parameters on 2 different periods in the same EA. is that possible?

Quite possible, yes.

okay, well how would I backtest an EA with an Ima set to 15 minutes and a custom indicator set to 1-hours?

is that not possible because when I try to test the strategy metatrader freezes up.

Make sure that the history price data is available for tested time interval for both timeframes.
