It is possible to mix time frames a combo condition, but the results can be a bit odd and I don't normally recommend it.
To create a Combo Condition, both Conditions need to be on the same Chart.
It is possible to Plot Indicators and create Conditions with different Bar Intervals in the same Chart. You either need to use the PriceScripting method to create them (keeping in mind that the results will be returned based on the Bar Interval of the Chart itself) or Edit their Block Diagrams to add a Time Frame Parameter to the Indicator, Condition or Parent of the Indicator or Condition. The following topics all explore this to some extent (and are presented in chronological order).
Multiple timeframes on one page?
rules based on different time frames
Seeking Price Rule Based Upon Price Bars With 2 Different Time Frames
Adjustable Time Frame Indicator
Volume filter
Weekly Slow Stochastic On Daily Chart
Two time frames
Create Combo Rule Using a Rule from a Weekly and A Daily Chart
Various questions
Combining BackScanner rules
New PriceData method. Get Pricing data for any symbol/timeframe
set a scan time fram
In this case, you could probably just add a Price History with Bar Interval, set the Bar Interval as desired and add the MACD of Indicator to the Price History with Bar Interval instead of using the normal MACD indicator which would be based on the main Price History plot.
You should be able to Open an attached Indicator directly into a running copy of StockFinder 5 (and save it from within StockFinder 5 if desired). You could also Save it to the \My Documents\StockFinder5\(Your Username)\My Indicators\ folder and then load it like you would any other Indicator (or Copy and Paste it there from wherever it Saves if you can't specify the destination directory when Saving).
