Multi-timeframe rules
A multi-timeframe alert combines supported conditions that each evaluate on their own timeframe. For example, a four-hour moving-average crossover can be combined with a one-hour confirmation rule.
One alert has a single root condition. Each supported leaf rule includes its own timeframe. With an ALL rule, every leaf must match. With an ANY rule, at least one leaf must match. Nested arbitrary expression trees are not supported.
This reviewed example combines an EMA 13 cross below EMA 50 on 4h with EMA 13 remaining below EMA 50 on 1h.

}Multi-condition alerts require the appropriate plan. Indicators also need enough historical candles to warm up. Missing indicator values evaluate as no match.
Add the first condition and timeframe.
Add the confirmation condition and its timeframe.
Select ALL or ANY when entitled.
Review the complete rule and save it.
Multi-timeframe conditions increase specificity but do not make an outcome more certain. All conditions are evaluated according to their documented data and timing semantics.
