Multiple time intrevals on an efs study

[gdargento]

Within an efs that is attached to a 1 min chart I’d like to create a study (MACD for example) on the same symbol (YM for example) but at a different interval (5 min for example). Is this possible?



From what I can see, there is no way to pass symbol or interval to a built-in study. Is there another way to do this?

Hello gdargento,

Creating multi-time frame studies with built-in study objects within a single EFS is not currently possible. What you can do is have 2 formulas running on 2 charts with your desired intervals and have one pass some global information to the other using setGlobalValue(). The other formula would then use getGlobalValue() to retrieve the data. However, this method is only good in real time. Synchronizing the 2 intervals on the historical bars on initial load of the formulas is very difficult.

This multi-time frame studies ability has been requested many times and we will have some better facilities for this in a future version.

Thanks...

Are there plans for this in the future? Near??

This would be very powerful. Especially for back-testing.
