Horizontal line of lower timeframes don't appear on higher time frames

[ahm.montaser]

Hello guys,

I am plotting 4 horizontal lines on the chart(for monthly, weekly, daily and hourly time frames) each at the close price of the last bar at the corresponding time frame

the problem is when I'm at the hourly timeframe all the four lines appear when I move to the weekly time frame for example, the lines of the lower time frames disappear (the hourly and the daily) if I moved to the monthly, only the monthly appears although everything is hard coded in the afl formula that I apply to the chart

any idea what might be causing this , help is truly appreciated ,thanks in advance.

The lines do not disappear. They just have prices of weekly, monthly interval then (if those latter ones are selected chart interval). Because with timeframe functions you can compress from shorter to longer interval not vice versa.

Please read docs:

Please note that you can only compress data from shorter interval to longer interval. So when working with 1-minute data you can compress to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ....N-minute data. But when working with 15 minute data you can not get 1-minute data bars. In a similar way if you have only EOD data you can not access intraday time frames.

AFL Function Reference - TIMEFRAMESET

If you want to view shorter interval line(s) on longer interval then store price(s) to static variable when shorter interval is selected.

I've used it

Where is the code? No one can see what you did.
YOU want something. Not others or me.
You can't expect other people writing copy&paste ready code all the time.

@Tomasz

Post the code that you wrote

Use code tags so your formula is properly displayed. If the code produces some unexpected output, please include the snapshot of chart or Analysis and explain why do you think it is incorrect

If you want to comment on somebody's else code you need to provide original reference (where did you get the code from)

@Tomasz

One must not forget about absolute basics like:

1. including exact VERSION numbers (don't say "latest" - it means nothing)
2. including minimum, but working reproducible example of the formula that shows the problem that can be copy-pasted and run without modification
3. better yet, in case of Analysis (backtest/exploration/optimization), save entire PROJECT FILE (File->Save As...) into .APX file and attach it so one can just load the project (this includes formula and settings)
4. specifying exactly WHAT DATA you are using (or better yet do the test on Yahoo data, so it is reproducible by anyone, not only person having access to some esoteric data).

In short your post must make it EASY and QUICK for anybody to reproduce the issue you are having without ANY effort. Remember it is you who is asking for help. And it is your task to make it easy to help you.
