Custom candlestick chart without overnight

[chumpsky33]

Is it possible to create custom charts that are based on candlesticks that removes the overnight gap, like on the 5 minutes chart open of the new day is the same as close of the previous day, even if in reality there was a price gap between them, like a continous day?

and is it possible to add indicator on the custom chart with the new values?

Hello chumpsky33,

That is not something you can do in the user interface, you could create a bars type which does that type of logic.

Can you explain a little further on the bar types with this logic, thanks

Hello chumpsky33,

You can explore the existing bars types that are included with the platform by using the NinjaScript editor, there are no bars types that include that feature so those would only be useful to see how to make a custom bars type. To do what you are asking you would need to essentially create a synthetic datapoint, rather than using the real open price at the start of the session you would have to reference the previous bars price and create the datapoint using that price.
