I have read in the documentation that users should limit the number of timeframes used in a strategy to 2 because of an identified problem. I was wondering if this was still the case. If so, is there any estimate of when this limitation might be relaxed. I am interested in the possibility of using 3 timeframes in a strategy. For instance, I could imagine using weekly indicators to determine a longer term trend, daily indicators to actually decide when to buy or sell and then intraday indicators to finesse the entries and exits.

Thanks,

Dave

Yes, it's still the case and you can find it in the QuickRef:

Warning!

Due to a bug that results in inconsistent synchronization, until Version 5.4 is released, use SetScale/Synchronize for only one other timeframe in a script.

Thanks. I'll be looking forward to 5.4.
