hi everybuddy,
i want to know if its possible to change period of all open charts to same time frame simultaneously.
for ex. if i have eurusd, gbpusd usdchf & eurjpy charts open. all are 15min chart. can i change all of them to say 30min or 1hr or 4hr at the same time. but the trendlines, or horizontal lines or indicators drawn on original chart should remain on all charts.
thnx.

I'm sure it's possible, but I doubt you'll find it somewhere in the forums. The coding for that gets complex. I'm not sure if this will help, but if you hit spacebar, type in 15 and hit enter, you'll get a 15-minute chart for the chart you are on.

I assume you mean for MT4? This is not an advertisment so I will not even name the software, but there is a forex app I got for free from an Asian based broker that has amazing multi chart controls, which worked over time period, indicators, ticker symbols and all sorts of secondary things like clearing trends lines etc from all charts at once.

It is by far the best charting I have seen in terms of speed of use for multiple charts, but I have never seen it offered at other FX houses, and certainly none of the big ones.

Yes, it is possible. Try the attached script.

And no, the code is not very complex at all.

this is a bit late in posting, but i found a Good one for this purpose, on this one you can set how many seconds before it Switches to next time frame and also choose how many timeframes you want it to scan through, also it has adjustable Font Size for when it goes to next TF you can set this Font Larger to easily see it displayed.:
this is an Indicator, goes in Indicator Folder.
