Unbind from timeframe

[YevhenShynkarenko]

Hello!
Can I unbind my indicator from the main data series? For example I want to see dynamic of changing ask or bid price? And I want to plot every change in my indicator. Not to save only "on bar close" value. F.e. I want to plot T&S via line in my indicator.

How to do this? Thank you.

Hi YevhenShynkarenko, thanks for your note.

The plots will always be tied to the series they run on, you can run your indicator OnEachTick and set a plot value for every bid/ask update, but there will still be one plot index for every bar of the series. There are other ways to plot such as the OnRender method, There are examples of histogram plotting such as the Volume Profile indicator, this is the best example I could think of that will help.

Thanks. Maybe I can create my own data series?

Hi YevhenShynkarenko, thanks for your reply.

Yes, you can add any additional data series to the script, but if you plot based on this series then it will mess up the spacing of the bars. If you have a lifetime license you can pull up the OrderFlow Market Depth Map as an example of what you might be wanting to do. Although the code for this is not available, I believe this is the closest example of some indicator that is not necessarily tied to the primary data series.
