Chart 1 TimeFrame1 = PERIOD_MN1
Chart 2 TimeFrame2 = PERIOD_W1
Chart 3 TimeFrame3 = PERIOD_D1
Chart 4 TimeFrame4 = PERIOD_H4
Chart 5 TimeFrame5 = PERIOD_H1
Chart 6 Time Frame6 = PERIOD_M30
Chart 7 TimeFrame7 = PERIOD_M15
Chart 8 TimeFrame8 = PERIOD_M5
Chart 9 TimeFrame9 = PERIOD_M1
d) SETUP TIME FRAMES CHANGER:

Periods Separator: defines graphically how much time remains until the end of the upper period. It sets up lines that define the upper period
Custom TIme Lines: It draws a time line in a chosen month, day, hour, minute. It is useful when you want to compare candles at certain points in time. For example in the case of a macroeconomics event as the first wednesday of the month
The purpose of this components is only analisys. It can cause slow down the performance in function of number of bar used. For this reason during the normal use of the utility need to be set to default at Fast_100.
The default inputs are as follows:
Swap number of Bars = Fast_100 [Mid_10000 || Slow_10000]
The default inputs are as follows:
Swap number of Bars = Fast_100 [ Mid_1000 || Mid_10000 || Slow_10000]
=== Time frames: Months ===
Swap Month = January;
The default draws a line every month of January
=== Time frames: Days, Hour, Hours, Minutes ===
day filter On/Off = true; [ true-->every day || false--> only the selected Swap day ]
Swap Day= Monday;
Hours = 23;
Minutes = 0;
The default draws lines every Monday at 23.00. Depending on the research, the structure of the time frames must be taken into account. In this case there will be no lines in the h4 time frame.
Price components:
Label Symbol/Time Frame/Return/Swaps: they are drawn in the upper left corner of the chart and help when you navigate with keyboard. It shows the current Symbol and Time Frame, the return of candle and Swaps long and short
