Programming in MultiTime frames eluding me

[jolson2613]

Hi,

I'm new to programming in esignal, and am having problems with grasping the syntax and usage for programming in multi-time frame studies.

I have a study that I am working on. It is set to compute on close of each bar. When the study is run, as each bar is processed in the chart, I would like to break down the current interval and get the low value for each corresponding minute the makes up the current bar in the chart that I have my study on.

So for example:

main () {

var myInt = getInterval();
var i;

// in english since I can't get the syntax for multitime frame programming

get the corresponding last "myInt" lows on a 1 min chart that
correspond to the bar in my current chart that has just ended.

for (i = 0; i < myInt; i++) {
get the value for lowon1minute[-i] and
... do something with this value
}
}


Any help in getting my to understand multi time frame programming would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,

You can find one example of how to drill down to a lower interval in this thread.
In that example I use the smallest available interval ie 1T (for 1 tick) but you can replace that with 1 for 1 minute (or with any other interval of your choice)
Hope this helps

THanks so much for the reference. I was able to teach myself how to program in multi time frames from your posted thread and appreciate the help.
