If you are working with MetaTrader 4 as your charting tool and would like to use different timeframes, this could be a very useful tool.

Description
Use this script to make nonstandard timeframe of symbol based on standard timeframe. For example, to make 3-hours timeframe H3 for selected symbol you should:
1. Open H1 chart.
2. Attach to chart ‘Period_converter_opt.mq4′ MQL4 file from ‘Custom Indicator’ folder of ‘Navigator’ window.
3. On ‘Common’ tab check ‘Allow DLL imports’ checkbox.
4. On ‘Inputs’ properties tab please set ‘PeriodMultiplier’ variable value to 3 (you’ll get H1*3 = H3).
5. Click OK.
6. Open H3 chart in offline mode (’File – Open Offline’). H3 chart will be updated real-time (by default) while H1 chart with attached ‘Period_converter_opt.mq4′ running.
