Hi,
Is it possible within the EA (MT4) to only work on user input TimePeriod i.e to only work on the 1 hour chart.

The reason simply is because whenever I change, to a lower timeperiod for analysis, my EA places more trades which I didn't want it to do. I only want it to work on 1 timeframe, hour.

Never a good idea to switch timeframe while an EA is running on chart.
MT4/MT5 EAs/Indicators/Alerts coder
just put EA on 1H Timeframe and don't change timeframe and if you want analyze additionally open another chart in same currency

If you have the .mql4, at the beginning of the EA you can write something like:
Inserted Code
if (Period()!=60) return;
There are difference ways to do it, you could also set to check the condition only on the hourly candles before OrderSend()

Thank you everyone. I understand not good to change TF with EA running, I was trying to keep objects on chart but it was not good.

JojoFX I will look into this, might save me :-)
