Time Frame Modification

[AlphaOptions]

Is it possible to modify the standard time frames in NT? For example, there are no choices for 20 min nor 4h and I would particularly like to see these? Thank you.

Hello AlphaOptions,

Thanks for your post.

You would not be able to add additional items to the interval drop down menu however, We have added the ability to quickly change the interval from keyboard shortcuts, please see the example below.

* Select your chart, start typing directly on the chart, 20M and press 'Enter'

The above will change your chart to a 20 minute chart. 'M' is the suffix for minute.
You could use 240M for a 4 hour chart (there are 240 minutes in 4 hours)
Available suffixes:
Suffix interval:
M
Minute
T
Tick
V
Volume
R
Range
S
Second
D
Day
W
Week
MO
Month
Y
Year
RE
Renko

This can also be changed from the Data Series window.

* Right click in your chart -> Data Series -> set the 'Type' to Minute and Value to 20 > Press 'OK'

For additional information and a list of available suffixes, please see the following section in the link below.
