Does anyone know of a charting system (custom or otherwise) that will allow the user to put candles of different time frames right next to each other? For example; a 24hr candle would start at the left, followed by two 12hr candles, followed by four 6hr candles, followed by 8 3hr candles, followed by 24 1hr candles. This would essentially be a daily candle chart with an extra large chunk of data attached to each daily candle. Sounds crazy I know but it's for a system I'm working on and any help would be appreciated!

There is an indicator that allows an outline of a higher TF around lower TF.

If you were using 5min candles then three would fit into a 15min outline.

PM me if this is not clear. Is that allowed???

That is actually what I was originally thinking of but thought it was a little to complex. Will it only do two time frames in one candle?

P.S. I dont think PM'ing would be a problem.

Hi Rex, the indi is set to whatever you want...say 1hr. You then decide what TF to use, so 1min =60 in outline.

I suspect that you would need to use multiple outlines.
A 15m outline appears four times within the hour and with a 5min TF you have 3 candles in each of your 15m.

The indie may be called 'candle within candle'

BTW the PM business was because I seem to remember that the Mods may think I am spamming for addresses...no, that is about e-mails. OK senior moment!

OK, thanks Phreddy, that sounds very interesting. I would like to check it out. Do you know where I can find it, or should I just search the net?

What I'm really after though, is something that can represent multiple time frames, say 1hr candles inside 4hr candles inside 8hr candles etc. etc.

Here you go. You might change the code to solid lines. I have only used it in the background so changed it.

I will look through my demos when I have time...had to go out earlier, have to make lunch next ...

Did think that a dashboard would give you the direction... depends what you are looking for by way of information.

In the meantime I will look at Stevewide's contribution whilst the pancakes are cooking...

Had my pancakes, had my nap, looked through an old demo and there they were: Custom Candles. Only trouble now is to send them to you.

Can I just copy and paste? Lets try...no, didn't work...How do you do that Stevewide?

Very much appreciate it Phreddy and Stevewide! I'll download and give'em a try. If I can make the system work with this tool I'll let you guys know asap.
