Custom Time Frames

Is their anyway to change the time frame of the charts in MetaTrader to be something else other than the default ones they list. For example how can I display a 4 min chart or a 8 hour chart.

Thanks, Steven

far as i know theres no way to do that
maybe its possible for a coder to code a script or ea to do this

open m1 chart in offline mode, convert to 4m or h8
and redo this every minute?

You can only use the time frames that are programmed into the platform. Use the search feature for answers to questions like this and you will save yourself a lot of time.

Hi Steven

Although you can't change the timeframe, you can create alternate time period charts using the periodcon indicator, or synthetic candles using the Candle Aggregator.

Mason's v5 is the best version.

Good luck!
