How to add chart candles to an indicator?

Hi All, 

I'm creating an indicator in a separate panel to the main chart. Is it possible to put candles in the indicator in the separate panel? 

Thanks v much,

I'm curious why you want to do this instead of just having the indicator overlay on the main chart?

 

If there isn't another way, the one way you can do it is read the tick data for each bar and draw your own candles. That will take up a lot of cpu processing time on cTrader's part, which you'd probably want to have to more quickly respond to your trade instructions.
