Hi, I also tried to change the periodicity of my database to 5-minute bars (because that's what they are anyway) but to use timeframe to time each and every rule and signal to 15-minute bars. But I tried to do this and it still doesn't work:
//SetTradeDelays( 1, 1, 1, 1 ); TimeFrameSet( in5Minute); C15= C>2.45; TimeFrameRestore(); //BuyPrice = TimeFrameExpand (C5,in5Minute,expandFirst); Buy = C15; Sell=C>50; It gives no signal at all...
