Can an indicator for a period be shown on any chart period ?

[Agent86]

Can an indicator such as H4 or D1 be shown on a different time such as M15 or M5 ?

Since the indicators properties do not have any options for this I assume "no".

I figured I would ask about this before starting to make this code. 

Thanks

Not normally! Only if the indicator can represent that data in "multi-time-frame" (MTF) mode, which most indicators cannot do.

For some, you can approximate it by adjusting the period by the scale factor.

Got it thanks.

I will code a rectangle for MACD PERIOD_H4 that turns red or green etc. 

Thanks for the response.

I've seen two or three indicators that do that. It's not perfect, kind of a hack, but it works.
