  How do I get the timeframe of my chart? I want to use this info to creae higher timeframe objects?

  For exmple if current tieframe is 5 minute,  I will set the highr timeframe to 1 hour, if 1 hour, set it to 1 day, etc

  Is there a way to define an external variable for user to choose the timeframe?

  The GetTimeFrame instruction returns the current timeframe in seconds…

  
  It is not possible to use variables or if-then statements in combination with TimeFrame…

  Here an example:

  if gettimeframe<3600 then if openhour<>openhour[1] then drawvline(barindex) endif else drawtext("your TF should be less than 1hr",0,-400)anchor(top,xshift,yshift) endif return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  if gettimeframe<3600 then if openhour<>openhour[1] then drawvline(barindex) endif else drawtext("your TF should be less than 1hr",0,-400)anchor(top,xshift,yshift) endif   return
