Re: [amibroker] Re: SetOption( field, value ) - Periodicity

[Mark Hike <markhike@xxxxxxxxx>]

It would be nice to use setOption() to change the periodicity setting.

Even though you can use time frame functions to switch back and forth in your formula different time frames (as Mike pointed out), I found that the portfolio loop always use the periodicity setting no matter what time frame you set in the code. This has caused me some problems since I often forget to set the periodicity back to daily after set it to 1 minute to run first pass before portfolio test.

One solution can be using OLE LoadSettings() function to modify the periodicity (I haven't not tried it myself), but it is overkill and can be less efficient, especially you test thousands of symbols.

Hi Mike,

I know this settings. But this are not the settings I am searching for. If I want to plot intraday 5min candles e.g. S&P Mini 9:30-16:15 or 24hours I can just change this in the FILTER tab.

Regards, dubi
