If you want to use a higher timeframe in your strategy, you have to use the `resize()` function.

This can be done in 2 ways:

**Resize a close and use this to calculate the ema**
This will update **every** candle

:::BlockQuote
close1H = resize(close, "1H")
ema1H = ema(close1H,21)
:::

***

**Resize an entire function**
This will only update every **resized** candle

:::BlockQuote
res = resInput("MTF", "1D", \["4H", "6H", "12H", "1D", "1W"]) 
def std = resize(res) 
\{ stdev(close, ma\_len) 
}
:::
