Using a User-Selected Timeframe with the XKRI Histogram Indicator

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This brief note describes a higher-timeframe version of the XKRI Histogram indicator. It adds a timeframe input, with a four-hour period shown as the default, so users can choose the chart period from the indicator’s parameters. The document also states that the base XKRI Histogram indicator file is required and must be installed in the platform’s indicators directory.

The page gives no trading rules, entry or exit criteria, market rationale, or performance evidence, so it explains configuration rather than a tested strategy. It does not describe how signals behave when the selected timeframe differs from the chart timeframe, or whether the indicator repaints or updates only after a bar closes. Those implementation details and any trading use would need to be evaluated separately.

Key ideas

  • The indicator exposes a timeframe parameter for selecting the period used by the XKRI Histogram.
  • A four-hour timeframe is shown as the default setting.
  • The base XKRI Histogram indicator file is a required dependency.
  • The note describes setup but provides no trading rules or performance evidence.
  • Signal timing and behavior across different chart timeframes are not explained.
