Timeframe and ichimoku – how to get values from other timeframes?

  Hello,

  I encounter a problem with timeframe used for ichimoku.

  I have create a function “ICHIMOKU-FUNCTION” and I call it with the instruction CALL. For information; this function return the trend (1, -1 or 0) depending on the position of the price versus the kumo.

  If I execute the here below code from time frame 4 hours (calling the function under 4 h timeframe), I get no issue (result is the right one).

  If I execute the here below code from time frame 1 hours (calling the function under 4 h timeframe), I get no issue (at least something close to expected result).

  If I execute it from the time frame 15 min or 5 min or 1 min (calling the function under 4 h timeframe), I do NOT get the right result at all.

  Any idea where it could come from ? (I am not so used with prorealcode so perhaps I miss something basic)

  Thank you

  TIMEFRAME(240 minutes) Trend240=Call "ICHIMOKU-FUNCTION"[ToleranceTenkKijun] TIMEFRAME(default) // 4 HOURS IF Trend240=1 then DRAWPOINT(barindex, -0.4, 2) coloured (0,128,0,128) ELSIF Trend240=-1 then DRAWPOINT(barindex, -0.4, 2) coloured (128,0,0,128) ELSIF Trend240=0 then DRAWPOINT(barindex, -0.4, 2) coloured (255,201,14,128) ENDIF return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

  TIMEFRAME(240 minutes)   Trend240=Call "ICHIMOKU-FUNCTION"[ToleranceTenkKijun]   TIMEFRAME(default)   // 4 HOURS IF Trend240=1 then DRAWPOINT(barindex, -0.4, 2) coloured (0,128,0,128) ELSIF Trend240=-1 then DRAWPOINT(barindex, -0.4, 2) coloured (128,0,0,128) ELSIF Trend240=0 then DRAWPOINT(barindex, -0.4, 2) coloured (255,201,14,128) ENDIF   return

  Thank you

  So I confirm that the whatever the timeframe instruction I execute, the CALL function returns values from the default timeframe only.

  Anything specific to be done ?

  A bit deeper in directtion of the problem:

  from 1 hour timeframe (code calling timeframe (4hours), TenkanSen, KijunSen, SenkouSpanA, SenkouSpanB return right values

  from 15 min timeframe (code calling timeframe (4hours), TenkanSen, KijunSen are correct, BUT SenkouSpanA, SenkouSpanB return n/d

  Any idea ? Thank you
