Plot Previous 5-min High and Low in 5 Sec Chart

Postby Spaceant » 04 Jun 2013

Hi,

I am attempting to plot the above in a 5-sec chart. Any idea to plat that?

Say,
High = 1000, from 10:10:00 to 10:14:59
Low = 950. from 10:10:00 to 10:14:59

I want to plot these two values on the 5-sec chart starting from 10:15:00 to 10:19:59

Regards,

Sa

Can you draw a chart mock up?

I'd do it the easy way and add a 5 minute chart as data 2(hidden) and reference the high and low of data 2 and plot it as an indicator...on the 5 sec chart..

Thanks for your input, that is really simple and handy. Could it be backtested using this as an indicator?

This is just a quick example..
Start with a 5 sec chart on data1 and a 5 min chart on data2.
then if you add the study that I attached , you should see a similar screen to the one I have attached..
