main_period
Type: simple String
Returns the base timeframe chosen for the script itself.
Inside request.*() expressions this value still points to the outer script's timeframe rather than the temporary request timeframe.
multiplier
Type: simple int
Multiplier of resolution, e.g. '60' - 60, 'D' - 1, '5D' - 5, '12M' - 12.
Type: simple int
Multiplier of resolution, e.g. '60' - 60, 'D' - 1, '5D' - 5, '12M' - 12.
period
Type: simple String
A String representation of the script's main timeframe.
If the script is an indicator that specifies a timeframe value in its declaration statement, this variable holds that value. Otherwise, its value represents the chart's timeframe. The String's format is "<quantity>[<unit>]", where <unit> is "T" for ticks, "S" for seconds, "D" for days, "W" for weeks, and "M" for months, but is absent for minutes. No <unit> exists for hours: hourly timeframes are expressed in minutes. The variable's value is: "10S" for 10 seconds, "30" for 30 minutes, "240" for four hours, "1D" for one day, "2W" for two weeks, and "3M" for one quarter.
Type: simple String
A String representation of the script's main timeframe or a requested timeframe.
