Custom Timeframe On Mt4

Hi everybody
is there a way to use 5 seconds TimeFrame on MT4?
thanks
Alex

nope. 1 min is as low as you can go.

Using offline charts you can go as low as 1 second per bar.

thank you guys!

but offline charts wouldn't help too much if you want to trade the timeframe live!

No, CG. Offline does not mean it can't be "real time".

Five second bars.

Note: For those worried about spreads, the "spread indicator" in this is showing the highest "Best Ask" - the lowest "Best Bid" during the 5 second interval, it is not showing true instant spreads. Real moves up or down during 5 seconds exagerates the indicator.

How could you see live data on offline chart? How Could you get accurate indicators values? And the most important How could you apply Expert Advisors to the offline chart?

1. See previous attachment...

2. Sometimes indicators require a little extra thought to make them operate correctly.

3. Don't care about EA for this, I just want accurate (pip levels) charts for manual trading on the ECN.

I currently collect and display 5-second, 13, 55, 233 tick, 5 and 13 pip range bars, and 1 and 5 minute charts, for up to 29 pairs. For longer timeframes, I just go with an MT4 Dealer feed.

If necessary, I drop ticks on a prioritized basis in order not to fall behind in the processing. I drop ticks from the pairs I am least interested in first. Dropped ticks is hardly a problem because drops occur when the rates are extremely high, like 20-30 ticks per second (per pair).

Assume you guys are talking about period converter?

I was thinking so! but when I saw the clip I want to forward the question to phy? How did you do it?

The "Period Converter Optimized" contains all the hints necessary to format the data and display on MT4.

Writing the history files is an external process.

Here is the console window for the tick collector.

I think the simple nswer to my question was.. NO.
The offline thing seems too complicated and definitely i wouldn't trust it in my live trading..
I know there's a software for MAC that does visualize the 5sec, anybody knows the name of the software?

Hi everyone, is there a way to add a custom timeframe permanently to mt4? I'd like to add a m4 (4minute) chart to the selection of available timeframes. can it be done?
