special time frames

[Dr.Amiin]

Hello, I want to use "ENUM_TIMEFRAMES" but I don't want it to show all the time frames, only some special time frames (For saving time in optimizing) Like this screenshot

In mt4 you can only use them, on mt5 you have more to choose.

Actually, now I look again this is a pre-set enum list.

[Dr.Amiin]

@amiinkiaei yes it is pre-set enum list but i can't use it in time frame section (in blocks) in mt5

[jstap]

That is already fixed in your indicator? You can create one for your EA but it will only use the three already set.

@amiinkiaei I did not understand what you mean but the photo above is related to this project

Use this ENUM_TIMEFRAMES instead of enum, call it whatever you want, and use this PERIOD_CURRENT in value
This will give you the full list in a drop down

[Dr.Amiin]

@amiinkiaei i know but when i use ENUM_TIMEFRAMES it show all of time frames in mt5 but i don't want this i want only some special time frames

[jstap]

Not sure how you would set up a enum to do this

[Dr.Amiin]

@amiinkiaei Who can do this?
i really need this

[jstap]

You can try this: https://fxdreema.com/shared/lsmeC5aJb I do not know if it will work but it compiles, let me know what happens.

[Dr.Amiin]

@amiinkiaei thanks
why you changed this PERIOD_M1 to this M1_PERIOD

[jstap]

Just to keep the text used a little different, encase using the same as standard causes a conflict.

@amiinkiaei
Check
https://docs.mql4.com/constants/chartconstants/enum_timeframes

Actually, it is the number represented by the string that matters
