timeframe instruction inside an if block

  I’d like to use the timeframe(n) instruction inside an if  block, like the code below but it throws an error:

  htf=1 if htf then timeframe(15mn) x = ExponentialAverage[9](close) endif

  1 2 3 4 5

  htf=1 if htf then timeframe(15mn) x = ExponentialAverage[9](close) endif

  Is there any workaround ?

  Thx

  It’s not allowed.

  TIMEFRAME must be used outside IF…ENDIF as well as outside iterations and the number and type of units (minute, hours,….) CANNOT be a variable.

  OK ,  there’s an easy workaround:

  htf = 1 //flag timeframe(15mn) y = ExponentialAverage[9](close) timeframe(default) if htf then x = y endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  htf = 1 //flag timeframe(15mn) y = ExponentialAverage[9](close) timeframe(default) if htf then x = y endif
