Create a candle stick bar of a higher time frame using a lower one

[sandman]

Could someone please point me in the right direction. What I would like to create is a 15min candle stick bar using a 5Min data Series. The reason is that if I simply import a 15Min Data Series into a 5Min chart, then the 15min candle stick bar is centered imperfectly. Perhaps something like this exists already. If so, where please? I checked something called an MTF indicator but it just shows a totally blank 2nd panel.

Hello Sandman,

Thanks for your post.

I'll take a stab at what you are looking for, please see attached and advise. If that doesn't meet your needs please post a chart example to clarify if you can.

Thanks Paul. That's close but it's boxes not candle stick bars. Difference is that while the 5min bars snuggly fit into the 15min box, the box is a box not a candle stick bar with tails and wicks.

Hello sandman,

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry but I know of no other way to accomplish your goal. Perhaps other forum members may be able to assist.

I know this is an old post, but I am looking to achieve what PaulH posted above. Using a higher time frame box on a lower time frame chart. Does anyone know how to do this or lead me in the right direction? I have been able to recreate it the opposite way showing the lower time frame on the higher time frame chart, but I would like it reversed do to other indicators being used.

Hello gldfinger4,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

Below is a link to an example of a higher time frame plotted on a lower time frame in NinjaTrader 8. The concept would be the same for NinjaTrader 7, however I don't have an example for NinjaTrader 7.

If you wanted to render these are candlesticks, this would have to be custom rendered.

The HeikenAshi indicator included with NinjaTrader 7 has code of custom rendering candles in the Plot() override.
