Unfortunately not. There were recent topics about it (for instance here) but we haven't heard if, and possibly when, this feature is going to be added.

(I can't give a specific recommendation for hourly continuous futures data, but most data feeds offer continuous futures.)

Bar magnifier for portfoliotrader probably will require 10x the computing power. Not so much the clock speed, but memory speed.
