  I am trying to code an indicator that returns the close of the higher timeframe, that is, if the chart is TF 1 minute it returns the close of TF 5min, if chart is in  TF 5 minutes it returns the close of TF 15min etc.

  close of higher TF

  a = gettimeframe / 60 timeframe(5minutes,updateonclose) close5 = close timeframe(15minutes,updateonclose) close15 = close timeframe(default, updateonclose) if a = 1 then //if chart TF = 1 minute c = close5 //c = close of 5 minutes TF elsif a = 5 then //if chart TF = 5 minute c = close15 //c = close from 15 minutes TF endif return c

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

  a = gettimeframe / 60   timeframe(5minutes,updateonclose) close5 = close timeframe(15minutes,updateonclose) close15 = close timeframe(default, updateonclose)   if a = 1 then //if  chart TF = 1 minute c = close5 //c = close of 5 minutes TF elsif a = 5 then //if  chart TF = 5 minute c = close15 //c = close from 15 minutes TF endif   return c

  This code seems ok to me but it doesnt work,  it just returns zero ! Any advise would be appreciated , thanks

  I tried the following:

  timeframe(default)

  c = GetTimeFrame

  but whatever timeframe you use the result for c is always -1

  According to the documentation, “GetTimeFrame” only applies to “linear time units” but I don’t understand what is meant by that.

  Yeah, I tried that also. It seems when you call gettimeframe from the default TF it always returns -1   , is  that a bug  ??

  I guess so, it should return the default timeframe in seconds but always returns -1

  Hi, it was a bug highlighted last november, as far as I know, it has been corrected for PRT trading with Interactive Broker, but fix not yet deployed for PRT with IG.

  Hi @JC_Bywan

  I can’t find this bug in “Platform Support”, can you put it in?
