getting the period from the context on the 4 hour produces this error.
 public String convertPeriod(Period timeframe) {
        console.getOut().println("timeframe passed = "+ timeframe+" "+timeframe.name());


The period.name is null.

This produces the following bug
"06:05:41 timeframe passed = 4 Hours null" So if one is trying to key off this and test for period of chart indicator is attached to for instance, it fails.

Could you provide mt4 code so that we could convert it to java for you?

Simple code here...
public String convertPeriod(Period timeframe) {
        String rc = null;
        if (period == Period.ONE_MIN) rc = "1";
        if (period == Period.FIVE_MINS) rc = "5";
        if (period == Period.FIFTEEN_MINS) rc = "15";
        if (period == Period.THIRTY_MINS) rc = "30";
        if (period == Period.ONE_HOUR) rc = "60";
        if (period == Period.FOUR_HOURS) rc = "240";
        if (period == Period.DAILY) rc = "1440";
        if (period == Period.WEEKLY) rc = "10080";
        if (period == Period.MONTHLY) rc = "43200";
        return (rc);
    }

thanks

So it sees it is the 4 hour period correctly, but the name is null. Looks like a bug to me... So rc remains null and null is returned instead of 240.

Code sample is too small. Please send full strategy.
