Screener 8h and 12H timeframe?

LO · 2019-06-09T09:28:49+00:00

Hi, I have searched on both the forum, the videos and youtube but I am unable to find what I’m looking for. Hope you could guide me. I want to screen for a condition on the 8H and 12H timeframe, is there a good way to combine two or more bars for a higher timeframe? Perhaps combine two and three 4H bars for 8H and 12H.

You can use the TIMEFRAME keyword several times with different TF’s, so you can evaluate conditions on all of them at the same time.

Thanks for the help, but I didn’t get it to work.

It seems like I can only use the standard timeframes like daily, weekly, 4H and so on. But how do I create 8H and 12H?

I have created a indicator that I would like to call on 8H and 12H close bars individually, not test both 8H and 12H at the same time. I want two different screeners.

I attached the error message.

ProScreener only allows standard TF’s. If a TF is not available in its menu, then it is not available in coding, too.

ProOrder, instead, has not this kind of limitations.
