Trouble converting 1min data

Hi,

I have a problem converting my 1min data to 5, 15 etc min data. I drag the period multiplier scrip on my 1 min data chart then it loads the ExtPeriodMultiplier screen and i change the value to 5 or whatever and it finishes. But the chart does not change at all. ive tried it with different values such as 1440 but theres no difference from the 1min chart. Am I doing something wrong, as I am quite inexperienced with MT4.

thanks,

Arcane.

Hello,

I did it previously but didn't remember the correct step. Here is what I can remember:

1. close all chart
2. open 1 min chart
3. then choose the period extender to 5
4. after it finished, close MT4
5. restart MT4 and open 5min chart

Hope that helps.

ok cheers, ive got it sorted now I didnt realise that it creates a new chart in a file. I thought it just modified the original one.
