Signals from multiple Timeframes

How can I use signals from charts from multiple time frames?

I essentially want the main on/off trigger for the trade to be on a larger time frame than the chart that the system will be trading on.

I do not see a way to do that in any of the instructions.

Thanks!

Create a custom signal in

Create a custom signal in RTL using:

MPD=1

Set MPD to the periodicity that you want and in the MPD menu under "Data Source: Indicator" select "Signal" from the drop down menu and choose the signal you want.

Another thing Chad taught me a number of years ago - if the MPD signal is from a larger periodicity and it's going to be placed on a smaller periodicity chart, the signal will plot multiple times. For example, if I want a signal from the 5min chart to plot on the 1min chart, using the logic above, there will be five signal markers on the 1min chart. If you want it to plot only one signal marker, then use:

MPD=1 and MPD.1!=1
