Overlaying Time Based Moving Average on a Tick/Range Chart?

[Pray4bass]

Found some moving averages that seem to have some consistency, based on certain timeframe candles, but I prefer the granular picture from tick-based and range-based charts for entering and exiting trades. Anyway to overlay some time-based moving averages onto a Tick or Range chart? Thx.

Hello Pray4bass ,

Thank you for reaching out.

You may be able to accomplish this by using a "Hidden Data Series"

Below is a link to our YouTube site that has a video on how to use a hidden data series to drive an indicator.

Here are my instructions for you:

First open a chart and add the Instrument of your choosing as a data series and then add it once more to have 2 data series of the same instrument.

The first data series, add is as your desired Tick based chart.

The second, add it with the Time based interval that you want your EMA indicator to plot.

For the 2nd data series, in the "Chart style", use "Line on Close" instead of "Candlesticks"

And set the Color to Transparent:




Also set the second data series to the same panel as the first






Now Click on and Open your chart.

This chart will only display the Tick data.

But you can add an EMA and have it calculate using the Time based data:
