Use this:

Code:

string tf()
{
   switch(Period())
   {
      case PERIOD_M1: return("M(1)");
      case PERIOD_M5: return("M(5)");
      case PERIOD_M15: return("M(15)");
      case PERIOD_M30: return("M(30)");
      case PERIOD_H1: return("H(1)");
      case PERIOD_H4: return("H(4)");
      case PERIOD_D1: return("D(1)");
      case PERIOD_W1: return("W(1)");
      case PERIOD_MN1: return("MN(1)");
      default:return("Unknown timeframe");
   }
}
