Hi Guys,

Love the strategy builder.

We use the 3 min chart alot to make trades safer and I was wondering if you had any ideas of how we could incorporate one of standard indicators off a 3 min chart. It is usually an rsi.

I have seen the period convertor scripts/indicators for MT4 so was thinking of tying it in some how.

Would you just manually go into the generated EA file and change the time frame for the relevent indicator? Eg Make it a 5 min one and then just change it manually to a 3min one?

I just thought of that while writing so I will try it but wanted to see if you had any thoughts on if its possible and how.

Warm Regards
Emily

mt4 does not have a 3 min chart so it must be a custom development.
You can build an indicator that works on the 1 min chart but uses calculations on the 3 min charts, and them import it into the strategy builder
You can also create an offline chart that updates every 3 min and run the ea there. This has some restrictions and require a good knowledge of mt4. Offlline charts are not created for trading but they are used for trading with some limitations)
