    Hi guys

    I’ve reach a problem when I want to do something with 2 timeframe (very simple…).

    I saw in some others strategy that it’s possible to share and use a variable of a specific timeframe in an other one.

    But in my case an error message say that I cannot and that I can read variables of others timeframe.

     

    This is my little example :

    // PING PONG AI - V2 TER
Defparam cumulateorders = false

ctime = time > 083000 and time < 180000

if not ctime then
limitH = 0
//limitB = 0
endif

timeframe (1hour)

IF Openhour <> openhour[1] THEN
myLastHigh = myHigh
myLastLow = myLow
myHigh = High
myLow = Low
ELSE
myHigh = Max(myHigh, High)
myLow = Min(myLow, Low)
ENDIF

if myLastHigh > Myhigh and myLastLow < myLow and ctime  then
limitH = myHigh
//limitB = myLow
endif

timeframe(default)

c1a = close crosses over limitH
//c1v = close crosses under limitB

if c1a and not onmarket then
buy 0 contract at market
set stop ploss 500
set target pprofit 500
endif

     

    Do you know the good way to share the parameters with my default timeframe ?

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Variables need to have exclusive names for each Timeframe, you can’t share the same name.

    So for example you could name limitB as

    hourLimitH under the 1 hour TF and minLimitH under a 10 minute TF.

    You can READ variables from any TF, but they must be created (and their contents changed)  in only one TF!

    You can follow GraHal’s suggestions to keep names quite similar still different.

    Nevermind !

    I found why it was not working.

    On line 6 to 8 I reseted the value “LimitH” but not in the good timeframe…

    Sorry for this bad mistake 🙂

     

    Thanks for the support guys 🙂
