Overlay Different Timeframe Indicator

[clinto69]

I suspect my Topic Title is incorrect. But I have been trading the ES using a 555 tick chart and I would like to move over to the MES. Of course I cant use the 555 tick on the MES at this time. But is there a way to overlay, for example, the EMA from the ES 555 tick chart onto my MES 40 tick chart?
Hope that makes sense.

Hello,


Thank you for your post.

This is certainly possible.

First, create a chart with two sets of data--

• Select File -> New-> Chart from the Control Center
• Select the ES 06-19 Instrument, and configure the Data Series with Type: Tick Value: 555
• Under Chart style, select "line on close" and set the Color to "Transparent" (to hide the line)
• In the Instrument Search bar on the upper left, search for MES
• Configure this data series to have a Type: Tick and Value: 40
• Under Visual-> Panel select "1"
• Click OK

Next, you will configure the Indicator--

• Right-click on your chart and select Indicators
• Find EMA in the "Available" list and double click on it
• Under "Data" under Properties on the right-hand side, click on the box next to "Input Series" and select the ES series.
• Click OK
• Click OK again to accept the Indicator properties
