Hi,

I am looking in the manual around page 739 and I must admit I am confused... 

Timeframeset
Timeframeexpand
Timeframerestore
Timeframecompress

I tried to read all this but I am still not sure about how to use this stuff.  I understand that the timeframeset changes from intraday to daily/weekly/etc.  and timeframerestore changes back to the initial intraday I am using.  But I don't understand the timeframecompress and timeframeexpand.    I thought that setting the TimeFrameSet( inDaily );  and then setting a variable  (RSI5)  and then referring to that variable later would assume it was in the daily timeframe, but it seems it is not how it works.

So, how would I be able to set a formula that would calculate a daily close where RSI (5) < 25  and then using that in my intraday buy signal along with other intraday variables?

Thanks,

Louis

yes ... need to use time frame expand ...
 
Look in help files ... very good explanation
 
TimeFrameExpand( RSI5, indailym,expandfirst);
 
I assume you are using this with intraday data. Use expandfirst as shown (instead if expandlast - or at least experiment with both). This should give you signals earlier, based on amount of data available today.

Hi,

Oups, sorry... That was a typo.  The real thing is

Buy = RSI5<25 AND ...

But it does not give me a lot of signals.  I wonder if there is something wrong with the conversion from hourly to daily to hourly bars?

Do I need to add a TIMEFRAMEEXPAND value, and if yes, how does it work?

Thanks,

Louis

RSI5 is a numeric value  ... so the formula is not correct.
 
You need to say:
Buy = RSI5 <25 and ......

Hi,

Is this formula correct?

TimeFrameSet( inDaily );
RSI5 = RSI (5);
TimeFrameRestore();

Buy = RSI5 and C>O;

Thanks,

Louis

p.s. I want the RSI on 5 days to be below 25 and the C>O in hourly data.  Is that correct?
