Selecting multiple timeframes in strategy

[grahamwillsher]

Hi,

I have created a strategy which is based using multiple timeframes and it seems to work out.

I now want to change the strategy so that the user can select which timeframes they can use .e.g 5 min + daily + weekly, rather than the hard coded ones I have entered.

I have looked in the strategies but can not find anything that allows you to select the dataseries type, as per the backtesting of a strategy.

The only thing that I can think of is using 'coded' user inputs to achieve this e.g. have strings of '5Minute' 'Daily' 'Weekly' to simulate the above.

If anybody has any suggestions please let me know.

TIA.

Graham.

I think I would define as all TF bolean variable then I tested it in Script, if True or False. But they should be defined through all the add TF

Hello,

I haven't tested this but try adding this in your variables section:
privateint mytimeframe = 5;

And this in your Initialization section:
Add(PeriodType.Minute, mytimeframe);

I've never tried it, but it may work. Or use bool logic as suggested.

Thanks for the replies.

It looks as if boolean logic seems to be the best way forward.
