Return default time frame

  Am doing a screener where I want to change a parameter depending on the time frame. For example:

  if TIMEFRAME(default)=TIMEFRAME(daily) then
  x=5
  else
  x=1
  endif

  Is there a way to read (return) the default time frame?

  Thanks.

  GetTimeframe does the job (https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/gettimeframe/) , but NOT for screeners. It’s availbale for indicators and strategies only, so you’d have to compare the time from one bar to next one with some math.
