I was looking to create a dynamic watchlist with the following condition:

Close is below the 20 period SMA on 60 Minutes Bar
and
Close is Above the 20 period SMA on 5 Minutes Bar

As you will notice, two time frames are involved in a single criteria.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Mark

To perform this, create your dynamic watchlist, choose the lower time-frame (5 minutes) then add the following formula:

var1 = close > sma(20);
tf = 60*60; // 1-hour in seconds
var2 = TimeframeApply(tf, close < sma(20));
filter = var1 AND var2;

Will it work in TradingSystem Strategy to have 30m timeframe for Buy rules & 5min timeframe for Sell rules?

If you want to backtest this rule then you should decompress the time-series to synchronize dates. You can plot it on a chart to see the difference.

var1 = close > sma(20);
tf = 60*60; // 1-hour in seconds
var2 = TimeframeApply(tf, close < sma(20));
var2 = TimeframeDeCompress(var2);

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
