Use different timeframes in one mt4 EA possible?

New comment
 

Hello!

I am new to coding but trying to create and indicator that alerts me when specific stuff happens.


I want A to happen at timeframe H4 while B to happen at timeframe M30.


Is there a way to specify timeframes in the EA? I have searched google and this forum but didn't manage to find anything.


Kind regards,

Ben

 
  1. Why did you post your MT4 question in the Root / MT5 EA section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page?)

    Next time post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon.

    Perhaps you should read the manual.
