Clone a Script

[ryebank]

I would like to clone the following script so that i can use the exact same framework but define different conditions depending on time frame for example 60 minute, 1 day 1 week etc..

Can someone who is familiar with programming in NT tell me what needs to be changed so that I can create multiple instances of this indicator, I'm sure it's just a question of renaming a few of the functions but through trial and error I can't seem to find the correct ones to change...

ryebank, you would right click in the script and select then 'save as', enter a new name to which a copy will be saved to, you could then modify this script and have the original one still present.

[ryebank]

and

the new script i save can be added as well so both scripts can be run on the same chart?

if this is the case then it's easier than i thought, however i think i 've already tried this

anyway i'll try again tonight, thanks for the help

Yes, it should ryebank, please give it a try and let us know then.
