Default MultiTick Frame / MultiTimeFrame

I am familiar with the multitime frame method on the "MultiTimeframe & Instruments" in the Help menu. When adding a second timeframe data to a chart it distorts the primary time frame. This is particularly true on tick charts. Can the second time frame (or tick frame) run in the background and still show an indicator or arrow on the primary chart?

Alternatively, can indicator results from one chart be imported into a second time frame chart.

For example, if I have an Oscillator on a 5000 tick chart of the ES, and it prints an arrow when it turns, can that arrow be seen on all charts? Or a specific chart. This is true for hand drawn lines and arrows by enabling the "all charts" on the drawing object menu. - Can you do this for an indicator drawn object?

Thanks,
Mike

mkoning,

There is no supported way for indicators from one chart to access or change another chart unfortunately.

What sort of charts are you loading that causes this distortion? What is your ultimate goal here?

I would be happy to offer advice, or procedures you can use to accomplish what is possible.

mkoning, unfortunately creating Global Draw Objects from NinjaScript is not possible, we have an enhancement suggestion added though for this item into our product management system and I've counted your vote and request in.
