You seem to misunderstand the purpose of TimeFrame functions.
They are provided to allow MIXING different timeframes
in single formula. Not for chaning base interval. The base chart interval is determined
by users' choice (View menu), and TimeFrame functions allow to create among other things overlays with different time frames that
are PERFECTLY ALIGNED with base interval. That's the purpose.
To have SYNCHRONIZED chart that can display say 1-minute, 3-minute and 5-minute charts in different/same panes perfectly aligned to
each other.
For that you must EXPAND arrays after using TimeFrameSet.
Here is example how you should do that properly in AFL,
including setting title:
_SECTION_BEGIN("Weekly MACD");
TimeFrameSet( inWeekly );
intname = Interval( 2 );
weekmacd = MACD( sh = Param("Short", 12, 1 ), lg = Param( "Long", 26, 1 ) );
weeksig = Signal( sh, Lg, Param("Signal", 9, 1 ) );
weekhist = weekmacd - weeksig;
TimeFrameRestore();
Plot( TimeFrameExpand( weekmacd, inWeekly ), _DEFAULT_NAME(), colorRed );
Plot( TimeFrameExpand( weeksig, inWeekly ), "Signal", colorBlue );
Plot( TimeFrameExpand( weekhist, inWeekly, expandPoint ), "Hist", colorBlack, styleHistogram );
Title = Name() + " " + intname + " " + Date() + " {{VALUES}}";
_SECTION_END();
