is it possible to program in an EA so that a signal generated off of a longer period say 4hour is used when the EA is still running on a 5 min chart?

the success of implementing this in my EA depends on the signal being used to alter the order placed at that point in time.
Unfortunately I still am quite limited in my programming skill. I appreciate it if you would post appropriate code in mq4 if you can so I can insert it and test it to see which works best. I think I can get it inserted ok, might need a little help with that still
