Hi everyone,
I know this is a really basic question but for some reason I can not find how to save a template for different time frame.
For example if my template name is "sampleTemplate.tpl" and I would want to have it slightly modified for display on 5M chart, I know that the name should be adjusted to something like "sampleTemplate_5M.tpl" or similar but I am not sure what exactly...
Thanks for help...

Just save your template with a different name.

Thanks,
So there is no need to have for example different Default template for each timeframe?

I was sure there was but could be wrong as well...

Make life easy on yourself and adjust the indicators for only the timeframe you want to see using the visualization.

That way, you only need 1 template and can toggle through the timeframes without needing to keep swapping...this way, as long as you are looking at the timeframe, you won't be confused by the different settings to templates that you have.
