Hello Christopher Leggit,

Without coding anything you could add a 5 minute series to the chart and use this as the input series for the indicator.

Below is a link to a video that demonstrates.

In code, the approach for the higher timeframe on a lower time frame would still work for a lower time frame on a higher time frame, however the values between the primary bars would be lost.
