Determine the timeframe of the dataseries

[kalim]

I have developed a custom indicator to send the Alert to the Alert windows. However, this indicator is used on 2min, 5min and 15min data/chart.

How can I find out what timeframe (2min or 5min or 15min) of data that this indicator is working on? I want to pass this value as a string to the Alert function so that at the Alert window I know which chart is this Alert comes from?

Hi kalim,

You could add something like this to the alert message:

Alert("AlertID", Priority.High, [COLOR="Red"]Bars.Period.Value[/COLOR] + " " + [COLOR="red"]Bars.Period.Id[/COLOR] + " Raised this alert ", "Alert1.wav", 0, Color.White, Color.Black);

This link has more information on these properties:
