Multi timeframe objects

New comment
 

I'm backtesting a strategy and to do that I'm automating some of the process. I need to draw some rectangle zones through history in H1.

I have done that using this

         ObjectCreate(0, objName, OBJ_RECTANGLE, 0, startBarTime, upperLeft, endBarTime, lowerRight);

And I clean all of them on deInit

   ObjectsDeleteAll(0,objName);

And that is the problem because the strategy is multi timeframe. I need to drop down to m5 to study the price action around those zones. As soon as I leave, the indicator reloads and creates the objects with respect to m5.

I tried to hard code H1 into the logic, but now in m5, it prints nothing. Probably because OnCalculate arrays are for current chart attached and I'm trying to compare them to a different timeframe. I need to know a way to persist these, or at least correctly redraw the objects of H1 on any lower timeframe. I want to see or create those H1 zones on m5.

Chart Synchronization for Easier Technical Analysis

Hlomohang John Borotho, 2025.08.28 08:32

Chart Synchronization for Easier Technical Analysis is a tool that ensures all chart timeframes display consistent graphical objects like trendlines, rectangles, or indicators across different timeframes for a single symbol. Actions such as panning, zooming, or symbol changes are mirrored across all synced charts, allowing traders to seamlessly view and compare the same price action context in multiple timeframes.

Thanks this is what I needed. Interesting implementation.
