timeframe instruction inside an if block

pableitor · 2020-10-13T13:56:25+00:00

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 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
```
