Is it possible to plot a simple indicator...say HLC/3 from 600 tick on the 3600 tick chart?
So in other words, as the next bars 600 ticks HLC/3 plots...it re-draws the new HLC/3 on the 3600 tick chart?
Thank you if reading.

Not sure what you want.Is it possible to plot a simple indicator...say HLC/3 from 600 tick on the 3600 tick chart?

Can you draw a diagram?

So you would like to get it updated 6 times in the current 3600 tick bar ?
Or do you mean you would like to get the 3600 tick bar HLC/3 drawn in the 600 tick chart ?

Re: Plotting an indicator from 600tick on the 3600tick chart
I assume that, as Bensat points out, you want to have it updated 6 times on a 3600 tick chart.So in other words, as the next bars 600 ticks HLC/3 plots...it re-draws the new HLC/3 on the 3600 tick chart?
One way to do this (example to get you started) would be:
Code: Select all
Variables:
IntraBarPersist tickCounter(0),
IntraBarPersist plotValue(0);
if (BarStatus = 2) then
tickCounter = 0;
tickCounter = tickCounter + 1;
if (Mod(tickCounter, 600) = 0) then begin
// This code block is executed every 600 ticks.
// When added to a 3600 tick chart, it simulates
// the bar on close calculation that otherwise
// would happen on the close of the 600 tick chart.
// Calculate the new plot value to 'redraw' the plot
plotValue = (High + Low + Close) / 3;
end;
Plot1(plotValue);

Re: Plotting an indicator from 600tick on the 3600tick chart
Thank you TJ, Bensat & JoshM.
I wanted to see if I could get the 600 ticks HLC/3 updated 6 times and to re-draw it 6 times on the 3600 tick chart? So the 3600 tick chart will have this HLC/3 moving automatically as the new 600 tick's HLC/3 was printed.
I will see if this code will work when I get live data.
Thank you very much.

Hello tryingitout,
If the symbols is the same, you can add 600 ticks as data2, base your indicator on data2, set it to update only on bars' closes and move the visual plot to your 3600 ticks data1.
