Multi timeframe problem

New comment
 

Hi,


Have following problem:

I have an indicator that shows setup on every time frame. I want to make a board visible on every time frame

that shows the setups of every timeframe and to be UPDATED WITHOUT OPENING THE THE DIFFERENT TIME FRAMES. The update of the setups to be auto.

MT5 limitation: Cannot load historical data for timeframes that have never been opened.


Example: 

On 5min tf, I see only the data of 5 min tf.

I must switch to 15 min tf just the data from 15 min to appear... then to swich to 30, 1h, etc.


Is it possible to solve this or this is platform MT5 limitation?

It's possible to show setups on every tf.

In the indicator's code, can load different tf data.

 
for example, can load 15 min candle data in 5 min chart

You can find indicators and eas on codebase and marketplace that can show multiple timeframes on single chart.

find search feature at top of every page on this site.

but imo why do you care if you have to open 3 charts instead of 1 to get 3 different timeframes?

I have dashboards on both mql4 and mql5 that pull data from different currency pairs and different timeframes simultaneously. There are no restrictions anywhere. The problem is most likely in your indicator code.

There is only one timeframe downloaded by MT5, the one minute. All others are generated from that.

On MT5: Unless the current chart is that specific pair/TF, you must synchronize the terminal Data from the Server before accessing candle/indicator values.
