Referencing chart time-frame

[bkool]

Hello,

Is there a way for an indicator to reference the chart time-frame ?
I would like to have a self-adjusted indicator that references one of its parameters to the specific time frame of the current chart.

Thanks.

bkool,

do you mean something like this?

if (Bars.Period.Id == PeriodType.Minute)
{
if (myTimeInterval < Bars.Period.Value)
{...}
}

Thanks Ralph.

Not sure though. I use Range bars. In this case - can I use the following?

if (BarsPeriod.Id == PeriodType.Range)
{(myRangePeriod == BarsPeriod.Value)}

if (myRangePeriod = 5)
{...}

Yes.

Well,
I've managed to work it out by adding the following code to the ZigZag indicator in the OnBarUpdate section:
//-------------------
// adjust deviationValue according to chart Range-frame
double myRangePeriod = 0;
if (BarsPeriod.Id == PeriodType.Range)
{
myRangePeriod = BarsPeriod.Value;
deviationValue = (myRangePeriod +3.045)/31.23;
//Print ("BarsPeriod.Value =" + BarsPeriod.Value.ToString());
//Print ("deviationValue = " + deviationValue.ToString());
}
//-------------------

The ratio deviationValue = (myRangePeriod +3.045)/31.23 was observed specifically for the TF contract by comparing various combinations of the two variables.

Thanks much Ralph.
