Hi, I am looking in the manual around page 739 and I must admit I am confused...
Timeframeset Timeframeexpand Timeframerestore Timeframecompress I tried to read all this but I am still not sure about how to use this stuff. I understand that the timeframeset changes from intraday to daily/weekly/etc. and timeframerestore changes back to the initial intraday I am using. But I don't understand the timeframecompress and timeframeexpand. I thought that setting the TimeFrameSet( inDaily ); and then setting a variable (RSI5) and then referring to that variable later would assume it was in the daily timeframe, but it seems it is not how it works. So, how would I be able to set a formula that would calculate a daily close where RSI (5) < 25 and then using that in my intraday buy signal along with other intraday variables?
