Get Value of MACD on different TimeFrame

Question

How can you get the value of the Macd Line and Signal Line real-time from different timeframe. Like for example I am on a 4HR chart and I want to get the value of the Macd Line and Signal Line from the 1 hr timeframe.

I know how to get the value of the two lines it is just that I cannot solve or find the value from the other timeframe. [macdLine, signalLine, histLine] = macd(close, 12, 26, 9)

Answer 1

You can use security function to access higher timeframe data, but trying to access lower than your chart's timeframes will lead to unreliable results in Pine Script version < 5, as TV doesn't support intrabar data there. In Pine Script V5, an additional request.security_lower_tf() function was added to handle this case.

You can also include tuple in the security function calls

Daily MACD, signal and histogram data from the Daily chart.

[macdLineD, signalLineD, histLineD] = security(syminfo.tickerid, "D", [macdLine, signalLine, histLine])

Security function could lead to repainting, check this article how to avoid the issue - https://www.tradingview.com/script/cyPWY96u-How-to-avoid-repainting-when-using-security-PineCoders-FAQ/

non-repainting version use the previous resolution value with lookahead argument set to true:

[macdLineD, signalLineD, histLineD] = security(syminfo.tickerid, "D", [macdLine[1], signalLine[1], histLine[1]], lookahead = true)

Answer 2

With security Functions. security(syminfo.tickerid,"{Your timeframe},
