Unleash Your Timeframe Ideas
Flexi Bar is a live period converter for MT4. It generates an offline chart and lets you select any time frame, from a single second to weeks, with a single second resolution. So you can easily select not only charts with period of M10, H2 or H8, but you may have also 1-second, 5-second, M2, M90, actually any timeframe.
In addition, With the session switch on you can fix your timeframes to fit into trading sessions, like H4 starting with your broker session.
The quality of time display depends on a tick recording supply (ticks are recorded by all indicators from Omnia series).

Unique Features
What are additional features of Ovo offline generators?
- the generator is an indicator rather than a script or EA, which makes it more comfortable for deployment
- input setting is adjustable from multiple places: from the input dialogue, or from the entry box of an indicator sub-window, or from the offline chart using additional indicators (Omnia Remote, Omnia Auto Range). Settings on the offline chart makes the range switching as flexible as switching between timeframes.
- safe timeframe switching of the feed chart (no need for sacrificing the feed chart for a single timeframe)
- generator can detect and optionally break chart into trading sessions
- generator uses all available timeframes for the initial model, and it is not bound to a single selected timeframe
- when starting up, the indicator selects the chart starting anchor from the user-defined chart candles count
- a single indicator can serve multiple identical offline charts (a single chart ID in multiple windows)
- detects significant drop-outs in feed and rebuilds the offline chart after the feed updates
- displays consistent candle tick volume calibrated to regular timeframes, so you may rely on the tick volume in your analysis and EAs
- guards for a change of the feed server, so it updates the chart if you switch between accounts
- works properly with symbols having MQL unfriendly names (like “EURUSD..”, i.e. trailing double dot in the name)
- reports unexpected time gaps in the MT4 history, reports inconsistencies between symbol timeframes
- excludes phantom (no volume) ticks
- fixes incorrect input for a non-trivial instrument tick size
- can decrease chart refresh rate on demand
- indicator development is still open, you may expect fast fixes for new Metatrader builds
I know this was stated years ago but as far as I can tell it was not addressed. When using Flexi Bars, the candles open at different times. For example, when I make a 6hr chart for GBPNZD, the bars times are 02:00, 08:00, 14:00, and 20:00.
However, when making a 6hr chart for EURGBP, the bar times are 04:00, 10:00, 16:00, and 22:00.
Is there a way to get all of the currency pairs to end at the same time?
good indicaor i downloaded the trail version..very nice wondeful indicator ,it made my entry and exit simple..i will purchase it as soon as it expires..
Hello! when using like S1 or S5 here this a way to fill the gaps?
Not sure what you mean. What gaps?
Hello, How can I fix the delay on a 5 second or 1 second chart? For example on a 5 second chart, the timer counts down to 0 so a candle or mark should show but it doesn’t. and then when it catches up the next timer may say 2 seconds then a candle shows. And on the 1 second its like it freezes up.
Hello DJ, when there is no tick, the candles won’t appear, it is the standard behaviour of candlestick charts.
can I use this indicator with Trade Assistant MT4 ?
I would expect that you could, trading fuctions from the offline charts are allowed.
can i use this on meta 5?
I can pay through skrill. Let me know the procedure please.
A real shame there is not MT5 version MT4 is prehistoric
So is MT5, and it still it does not support custom charts like MT4. I cannot code such comfort custom charts there.
Any updates on this issue? All data comes from the same broker and server.
Hi, I’m just testing this indicator and I notice a lot of gaps between prices, that is not from market open gap. Is that a bug? Can it be fixed? Thank you.
When there is an unusual gap, turn on the verbose option in inputs to check the consistency of your local charts.
Hi Milan,
I am mid-senior fx trader and recently stumbled upon your product, – remarkable work.!
I am considering purchasing your flexi chart module.
long story short, – i am unable to consistently recreate bars that look exactly as the original MT4 period converted does. My system is calibrated and back tested on such.
The reason of my inquiry is that i seem to not be able to make flexi chart work properly. It does spawn the requited candles, but they seem to differ quite a lot form the standard offline chart derived out of default period convertor i am currently using.
I am currently developing my own terminal solution in c sharp and i have encountered the same exact problem whilst composing new data points.
I suspect that flexi chart struggles to find the original anchor point to start the arrays while using odd numbers. I
My goal is to run 45M, 135M, 405M, 1215M.
-further constrains are, run as little displayed numbers on the chart as possible for I run heavy recurrent calculations and that as we know does not run well on single core solution. I aim at 300-500 max bars.
I fiddled with flexi bars settings and spend hours trying to get the right results. – no success. its always off by some amount. I also tried to fiddle with max bars in history and displayed, that of course had an effect, – yet did not find the right solution.
If you investigated how it behaves around 135,405 and 1215 compared to normal offline chart and gave me some input, i would much appreciate.
Thank you for your dedication to fx.

Hello! Do you have shortcut for changeing timframes?
A keyboard shortcut? No, just the OmnniaRemote indicator.
Hello. I would like to by omnia remote indicator. I seen that is 120 dollar. Omnia remote box contain flaxibar generator? Do I need to buy flexi bar separately?
OmniaBar contains flexibar, the remote as well.
I downloaded the flexibar indicator, as I am wanting to trade 2 minutes candles. That said, after I downloaded the indicator, and refreshed the platforn, the indicator did not show up in my indicator list. I can see it in the Data-Folder” but not able to get it to add to my charts.
Indicators belong to ‘indicators’ folder.
I put them in the idicators folder, which I can see it when I got to the data folder, because that is where I installed it, in the data folder, in the indicators section.
Maybe you can help me. For some reason, I was unable to get the indicator on my main computer, but was able to on another one. I am new to this alternative option, so how exactly do I initiate the flexibar indicator. Do I open an offline chart, and then add it, or open one of my templates then add it? I have tried all the above, but am struggling. I am trying for a 2 minute candle, and if possible, maybe a 10 sec or 15 second candle. Thank you
Please watch and follow the video above. Hopefully it makes it more clear.
I did that, but for some reason it will not work on my trading computer.I can install it on one computer, but not the other. Do you know anything why it may do that? Could it be a setting or something from MT4 specific to a computer?
No idea, I never encountered such behaviour. Check if you are not using MT5.
Just to give you an update.
I deleted then reinstalled MT4, and still had the same problem.
I then removed all my indicators, and then added just the FlexiBar indicator, and it worked. I then placed all the other indicators in, and FlexiBar indcator was not in the navigator list again.
I then removed everything, and only put back some of the most useful indicators, and now it seems to be working.
Apparently something about all the indicators, or some of the indicators affected my ability to use it.
It seems to be a good indicator, and I will try it out for a while, and more than likely purchase the license.
How many indicator are there in the indicators folder?
Not sure how to count what I had previously, and still have on another computer, but I had a lot, probably 4-500.
There may be a limit on the MT4 file nodes display. Try to organize files in subfolders if it helps. Otherwise you should lower the number.
I really do like this indicator, but am curious why my timers on the charts show 1 hour, even though I open it in the M1?
Not sure if you can open the offline chart in M1 and what “my timers” means.
The countdown seems to work properly on all MT4 versions up to v. 1440 with OmniaRemote.
I just purchased the FlexiBar, but I do not know how, or where to put the activation code. Do you have a video to show me, or simple instructions? Thank you
Never mind. i figured it out.
Milan,
I got the flexibar from you, and I really do like the ability to use any timeframe I want. What I have notice though, the prices on it, is kind of herky-jerky, and not keeping up with the actual price. I compared it to another MT4 platform from the same company, using the same account, and the one not offline, is very more responsive and active than the offline charts. Do you have any suggestions to make the price on the offline charts not lagging as much?
Thank you
