I'd like to create a wrapper for the indicator where I can just specify the timeframe multiplier, rather than the absolute timeframe to operate on. In order to do that, I'd need something like a "CurrentTimeframe" variable. Does something like that exist?

Current Timeframe Variable
I have an indicator that operates on a higher timeframe, but it needs to be specified manually. I always set it to 4x current timeframe (e.g., if the chart is a 15 minute, it operates on a 60 minute). If I change timeframes, I need to change the indicator parameters manually, and if I go to a higher timeframe than the indicator is operating on, it breaks everything. So far, my best workaround has been to have a template for every single timeframe and load that template as necessary.

DMC,
From inside an indicator/strategy you can use :
Bars.Period.Id.ToString() and Bars.Period.Value.ToString()
