multiple timeframe – can't read variables of others timeframe

  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 :

  My problem

  // 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

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37

  // 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 🙂
