Multitime frame indicator- wrong value

  Hello

  See attached :
  – the value of the ADX in the timeframe 4hours (on the left) is different from the calculated 4h ADX indicator under the 15min timeframe

  the code is quite simple

  timeframe(4hours, default) a1 =adx[8] return

  1 2 3

  timeframe(4hours, default) a1 =adx[8] return

  The variable “8” is the same in both timeframes, and it seems, according to the “steps” under the 15min timeframe that the indicator follows the same 4h period.

  How to get the correct version of ADX 4h in the 15min timeframe ?

  thank you in advance

  It is most likely for the same reasons as described in the answers to this post.

  Thank you a lot.
  Sorry, I have however read (too quickly obviously) this topic….

  so the answer would be, as per Nicolas :
  Expand the units displayed of the 5-minutes TF chart, in order to get the necessary data to calculate the historical volatility of the daily timeframe.

  and it works !!!!

  thank you everyone
