Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately that is not supported, but is on the list of possible future considerations.

I suggest checking the indicator file sharing section as there is at least one custom multi-time frame indicator in there. Not sure it will work with other indicators like stochastics.

Go to reference samples and look for:
Strategy: Plotting from within a NinjaScript Strategy

It is a PITA (Pain In The A$$) method but it works. Drawbacks of doing it this way is that you can not run Chart Trader and a Strategy on the same chart. Also there is no AutoScale(True/False) control over the plots ( or I should say that I have not figured it out). If you are doing a Multi TimeFrame SMA and the SMA Val on a 60 Min chart is 40 points above the most recent close on a 1 Min Chart it makes the bars look really really small. There is a work around but it requires a lot of coding and then the plots look dysfunctional. Also pay attention to the CalculateOnClose (True/False) setting in the protected override void Initialize() of the base indicator, in your case the Stochastics. It will determine if the value plotted is for the most recent closed bar or the most recent tick on the faster chart. Try both.

Hopefully NT 7.0 will take care of this problem.
