Why users don't read docs, was: Why amibroker is giving exploration

[pradeep_muthappa]

I have this code supposed to give me the result for 5 min timeframe. But it only explores the daily timeframe and fails to reset time to 5 mins. Please help me resolve this issue...

_SECTION_BEGIN("sqeeze");

tf1 = in5Minute;
TimeFrameSet( tf1 ); // switch to 5 minute time frame

pClose = Ref(Close, -1);
p2High = Ref(High, -2) ;
p2Low = Ref(Low, -2) ;
p3High = Ref(High, -3) ;
p3Low = Ref(Low, -3) ;
Buy = p2High < p3High AND p2Low > p3Low AND pClose > p3High;
Sell = p2High < p3High AND p2Low > p3Low AND pClose < p3Low;
Filter = Buy OR Sell;

text1 = WriteIf(Buy,"Buy5m", "-" );
AddTextcolumn(text1, "Buy5m", 1.0);
text2 = WriteIf(Sell,"Sell5m", "-" );
AddTextcolumn(text2, "Sell5m", 1.0);

TimeFrameRestore();

_SECTION_END();

How to use this site

Search the forum It is good idea to search the forum before asking same questions over and over. To search the forum just use magnifying glass icon in the upper right corner [image] Also it is good idea to use Google and add +site:amibroker.com to your search term to limit the output to content of amibroker.com web site. Doing so will include results from Knowledge Base and Users' Guide Enter the AFL code properly It is of utmost importance as improperly formatted code results in syntax err…

You failed to read the docs.

It has been explained dozens of times on this forum AND in the manual
Multiple Time Frame support that (quote):

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.

Note that this sentence is not burried somewhere. It literally pops up in ORANGE boxes straight into your face when you open the documentation, so it is impossible to not see it.
