Hi everyone,
I am trying to get the readings of an H4 indicator through a H1 one. I appreciate the existence of MTF indicators, but think that there should be a more appropriate way to get the indicator readings at a different timeframe. I mean, something of the sort (this code does not do the work, unfortunately, as compared to the readings of a real #MTF indicator):
int shift4H = shift/4+1;
while(Time[shift]>Time[shift4H]) {
offset4H--;
}
double value = iCustom(Symbol(),PERIOD_H4,..., offset4H);
The benefits of the above code include fewer calculations and the possibility to use it with non-custom indicators (for example, the built-in Stochastic Oscillator/CCI/RSI, etc.). It would also make the creation of multi timeframe-aware indicators much easier and effortless, I guess.
But unfortunately I cannot get it to work...
Anyone tried to do what I am? Please share your experience!
