multiperiod candles >> 2000tick over 5 minute in the same panel
is it possible? trying visualize the time it takes for 2000 ticks to complete, doesn't have to be Multiperiod candles, even a line under the tick bars would be useful or anything else, the horizantal lines would even work if the were constant,,

Maybe try this:

and

Gives you this:

NB that's in the Globex session, so in RTH you would almost certainly want to have the 5 min or shorter duration as the Box series.

I recently converted to tick charts from minute chart. They work great, flow much better, much smoother, less whipsaws etc.

Hi ratfink,,

I get a message box asking to implement equidistant bars, on the properties menu, however the option is grayed out meaning the it's not available, do you have equidistant bars, is that how you created the chart?

if i could impose can you recreate the chart with the box being the time 5min or 60min with 2000tick OHLC bars within the box bars, is that possible???

many thanx in advance

Hi Angelo,

The equidistant bars setting is always false when there is more than one data series on a chart and is not connected with this Globex/ETH view that we made, you only need to set the Data Series dialog as shown for the two series.

However, I have just tried to create the reverse effect (5 min box, ticks inside) I mentioned for RTH and it is only possible to get an ugly result with gap jumps between the tick bars rather than variable sized boxes, so it would appear that in-built Ninja is not useful for this idea when we are in the busy RTH session. Maybe someone else on futures.io (formerly BMT) knows of an add-on way to do what you require. Sorry

Cheers
