Hey Pips4life,
I'm pretty sure you can't but I just wanted to see if there's any way to aggregate bars from over the weekend. So say you wanna aggregate bars from Friday to the following Tuesday. Is there any way to aggregate just those 3 bars? I know you can add 2 days for the weekend but then the rest of the data is effected as well.

hi pips4 life,

Is it possible to include the SYMBOL name (like EURUSD, USDJPY etc) in the CSV file that is generated. If i want to use this data to be imported into other trading softwares, it is necessary to have a symbol name which saves time. Can you please suggest what code changes can be done to achieve this?

Thanks

If I can rephrase this question; how do I use the period converter for multi time frame back testing? I can get multiple time frame backtesting to work for unconventional timeframes i.e. 5 min master tf with 35 min child, but if I try to have a 5 min master with 30 min child, it doesn't produce an offline chart because the 30 min chart already exists. This is no good to me because the online charts wont move in sync with the master tf...

Hi

I am wanting to create an historical chart of GBPUSD showing candles between 1/01/2007 - 5/4/2010. Would the indicators posted on this thread be able to do this, or alternatively please could anyone tell me how I can create this chart?

Many thanks
Mike

Hi NaughtyPip,

Was this hard to get working? Here's what I've tried . . .
Get MT4i ready with to run with model set to "Every tick"
Press Start
Un-pause
load my chart template
add the P4L PeriodCon 509 indicator
but I don't get an alert such as "P4L PeriodCon 509,EURAUD,H1 o File->Open_Offline of chart: EURAUD,H2 (offline) (Time shifted 0min) and KEEP this Source H1 OPEN!"

Any info would be greatly appreciated. I will eventually want the h4 to be running but tried the h2 first.
Thanks
Robin

Hello! Thank you author! I have a question. If I make a daily chart with timeshift I want I get a chart with little bars on Sunday. On really data feed I get from my broker there are not such bars. Can I turn off it? And price have 5 digits but on changed chart price is rounded to 4 digits. Is it OK? Appreciate your help.

I think the topic of 5bars/wk vs. 6bars/wk is already covered in post#1. If you have 5bars/week now, you're likely on a GMT+2 broker. If you have 120 hrs/week, any timeshift whatsoever is going to create a Sunday (or small Friday or Saturday) bar. That's how it works. While it would be possible to make modifications to the code to combine the small-#hours-Sunday bar into Monday (making just Monday a bar with >24hrs of data), that's not what the code does now, and I have zero plans to change it to do so. (I doubt it's an easy fix).

Regards to 4 digits, it's suppose to maintain the original 5-digits. You gave no details -- e.g. pair name, timeframe, offset, broker name, etc. -- so I can't even speculate.

Yes, I alredy read 1 post and found there info about 5 day week, but thank you for your answer. I did different timeshift from -4 till +4 and only in 1 case got 5 day week, when shift +1. So for me more comfort -4. Now I try to understand how this timeshift reliable for my trade. Will be this good or bad use such modified chart? About digits: I made scrieenshots. But rounded price is not critical for me. More important is trade on chart with timeshift, is it properly? But your work is very cool, much appreciate.

Is it possible to post P4L PeriodCon 509. MQL simply so users can change parameters in the source code to load up by default. As you can imagine this handy little thing can operate dozens and dozens of custom charts on a good system, so it could take a lot of tedious clicking out the process!

Just a few posts earlier, I just had this exchange:

From post #1:

2014-02-14: Uploaded "P4L PeriodCon 509.ex4" (still v1.11)

Changes: None. It was simply compiled using build 509, and it appears to be compatible with the new builds >=600.
Fyi, the posted v1.11 .mq4 file is NOT compatible with the new builds. It will require code changes. Should you need to make custom edits, you can use your own (old) copy of 509, or find the 509 MetaEditor posted...

If you download "P4L PeriodCon.mq4" from post#1, clearly it is v1.11 and that's the latest, unchanged version, and compiles in 509 only.

When saying uploaded in 2012 doesn't bode well for one searching for the 2014 update. No matter anyhow, it was a minor request as the executable is still amazing. Thanks.

hi guys

i am having a bit of trouble with D2 chart. my broker is standard Ny daily close broker GMT instaforex GMT +2

in my mt4, the D1 chart prints exactly 5 daily candles during the week, with no weekend candles.

i am not applying any timeshift to the below it is set at default - 0

In the d2 chart below, it is printing the weekend candle, every other week. Is there any thing i can do in the settings to make it similar to the D1 chart i.e. no weekend candle?
