# Timeframe Interval Selection Fix ## Problem When requesting a "4h" (4-hour) chart timeframe, TradingView was interpreting this as "4 minutes" instead of "4 hours", causing the wrong chart interval to be selected. ## Root Cause The timeframe mapping was prioritizing hour notation ("4h", "4H") which TradingView was misinterpreting as minutes. ## Solution Modified the timeframe mapping in `lib/tradingview-automation.ts` to: ### 1. Prioritize Minute Values For hour-based timeframes, always try the minute equivalent first: - "4h" now maps to: `["240", "240m", "4h", "4H"]` - "1h" now maps to: `["60", "60m", "1h", "1H"]` - "2h" now maps to: `["120", "120m", "2h", "2H"]` ### 2. Added More Hour Timeframes Extended support for common trading timeframes: - 2h = 120 minutes - 6h = 360 minutes - 12h = 720 minutes ### 3. Enhanced Fallback Logic Added a custom interval input fallback that: - Converts timeframes to exact minutes (e.g., "4h" → "240") - Looks for custom interval input fields - Enters the minute value directly if standard selection fails ### 4. Improved Debugging Added detailed logging to track: - Which timeframe values are being tried - The order of attempts - Success/failure of each method ## Key Changes ```typescript // OLD - Would try "4h" first (interpreted as 4 minutes) '4h': ['4h', '4H', '240', '240m'] // NEW - Tries 240 minutes first (unambiguous) '4h': ['240', '240m', '4h', '4H'] ``` ## Fallback Strategy If regular timeframe selection fails: 1. Try keyboard shortcuts 2. **NEW**: Try custom interval input with exact minutes 3. Look for `input[data-name="text-input-field"]` and similar 4. Enter "240" for 4h, "60" for 1h, etc. ## Testing The fix ensures that: - ✅ "4h" request → 4-hour chart (not 4-minute) - ✅ "1h" request → 1-hour chart (not 1-minute) - ✅ All common timeframes work correctly - ✅ Fallback to custom input if needed - ✅ Detailed logging for debugging This fix addresses the core issue where timeframe selection was "stuck" at wrong intervals due to TradingView misinterpreting hour notation as minutes.
