Ok,

I have a question about an indicator I am using in an EA
Inserted Code
double myMAA =iMA(NULL,MA_timeframe,MA_length,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);

The question is about the timeframe. If MA_timeframe = 30, am I correct in thinking that no matter what chart timeframe this EA is placed on, it is looking at the '30 minute' chart for signals? if that is true, it wouldn't matter what chart time frame I put it on, the trades should be the same. Right?

correct. If the MA was going to look at the current timeframe, it would have timeframe set to 0.

Thanks as always
