Configuring TimeFrames   The ability to configure multiple timeframes is one of the strengths of Stormtracker V4.0. The timeframes range from Monthly, Weekly Daily, to multiple intraday timeframes configured by the user.   There are 3 fixed(can't be removed) timeframes, Monthly, Weekly and Daily.  The user can add intraday timeframes by right-clicking in the Intraday timeframes Area and selecting the number of minutes in the bar. User Tips: You can only add/delete timeframes when you are NOT scanning. Typically users will configure the scanner for the intraday timeframes they use and this configuration doesn't need to be changed after that.  If you delete a Timeframe, studies in the timeframe will be deleted. In addition conditions and complex conditions and modules related to those studies in the timeframe will be deleted.  When you delete a timeframe with dependencies, a warning will come up telling you that the dependencies will be deleted. This warning can be disabled by configuring the "Prompt to Delete Dependencies" setting in the Configure window, to "no"

Since the Monthly , Weekly and Daily Timeframes are fixed and cannot be deleted , the above Fixed Terms are always available in Stormtracker.

Note:  To find the values of the open, High, low, Close X bars back of Timeframes besides the Daily Timeframe, use the Open, High,Low,Close Volume Study .  To find the value X bars back of an output indicator, use the offset study

Studies can be based from combinations of these fixed terms, as discussed in the section on configuring Studies.

Intraday Timeframes: Each Intraday Timeframe has terms Open High Low and Close and Volume, that are  sandwiched by an abbreviation for the timeframe, constructed by joining the letter I and the number of minutes in the Timeframe bar.

For example the 3 minute timeframe would have terms sandwiched by I3:

I3OpenI3      3 minute bar Open
I3HighI3       3 minute bar High
I3LowI3        3 minute bar Low
I3CloseI3      3 minute bar Close
I3VolumeI3   3 minute bar Volume

The Hourly or 60 minute timeframe would have terms sandwiched by I60:

I60OpenI60    60 minute bar Open
I60HighI60     60 minute bar High
I60LowI60      60 minute bar Low
I60CloseI60    60 minute bar Close
I60VolumeI60 60 minute bar Volume

Studies can be based from combinations of these terms, as discussed in the following section on configuring Studies
