            int idx2 = idx1 + (index - idx1) / 2;
            int x = idx2 - idx1;

            double open = (MarketSeries.Open[idx1] + MarketSeries.Close[idx1 - 1]) / 2;
            double high = Functions.Maximum(MarketSeries.High, index - idx1 + 1);
            double low = Functions.Minimum(MarketSeries.Low, index - idx1 + 1);
            double close = MarketSeries.Close[index];

            var color = close > open ? colorBull : colorBear;

            ChartObjects.DrawLine("Wick" + idx1, idx2, high, idx2, low, color, WickThickness, LineStyle.Solid);
            ChartObjects.DrawLine("Body" + idx1, idx2, open, idx2, close, color, BodyThickness, LineStyle.Solid);
        }
    }
}

This indicator plots chart X times bigger than original. Therefore if you attach it on t34 chart with period of 5, you will get t170 chart.

I hope it helps.

Thanks but it's not the same thing. It has to be more Ticks otherwise the other indicators would not work with live data or would be out of sync.

Hopefully this can be added soon. It really shouldn't be too hard to give the user an option to specificy their own tick and time frames?

Hello, 

We are making very good progress on supporting this feature. Actually it is a very time intensive feature because tick data is so rich and resource intensive to both store and deliver to the trading platforms, nonetheless we will endevour to deliver this ASAP because we know how important this is. 

Many thanks,
