Hi Sierra,

I have a study in my default study collection that I only want to run on chart periods of 30, 60, 120 minutes.

Instead of creating multiple study collections for different bar periods, I was looking through the ASCIL hoping to find a Sierra chart bar period.

What I want to do is to code the indicator to check if the chart period is 30, 60, or 120 minutes --> If yes --> run the indicator (to show alerts), else --> ignore.

I can't seem to find the bar period in the ASCIL. I only found stuff relating to daily bar periods.

Am I missing something?

thanks!
