Default Time spaced vertical bars on a Range chart

How can I get Vertical lines on a Range chart at specific time intervals (1, 2, or 5 min intervals)?

See the example below: In the YM case, the vertical lines represent two minute time boundaries. This is a great assistance when using a range chart alongside an intraday bar chart. It clearly shows how each bar formed, etc. The ES has 5 min lines.

I know that there are vertical lines on any chart but they are fixed width intervals, and on a range chart, that does not make much sense to me.

BTW, please note on that example, that there are three colors for both price & volume: up, down, and NO Change. No change is just as important as up or down.

Hmm .. I would think this requires custom coding to place the vertical bars at the appropriate bar locations

OK, Dierk, I made an indicator to do this but it behaves oddly on existing charts.

I continued the discussion in Indicator Dev.
