Is it possible to plot values and signals on candlestick chart from volumetric bars data series indicator.

I case you mean by candlestick chart a chart that is based on time, you can add a second data series the chart and use it as the input series to indicators on your primary chart. However I don't know if the visualization of the second data series can be suppressed.

A second option is to rewrite the indicators that require a custom input to add the data series you desire.

            else if (State == State.Configure)
            {
                AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Volume, 2000);
            }

            ....

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            if(BarsInProgress != 1) {
                return;
            }
