How to add an indicator based on time-based bars to a tick chart?

[aviat72]

I want to trade on a tick chart but have some indicators available which are based on time-based bars. Unfortunately this requires a chart which also has the time-based bars added, since that is the only way you can add the indicator.

But this messes up the tick-chart since the time-based bar becomes the bar used to define the axis.

Is there a way to workaround this limitation and have the tick chart have equidistant bars with the time bar based indicator plotted on the tick-chart? I do realize that the spacing will be messed up on the indicator plot, but that is fine.

aviat72,

The only workaround for this is to instead of relying on the primary series you attach the indicator to you add a secondary series of the series you want to use for the indicator and run it that way. Your code would need to skip all BarsInProgress = 0 events and only process BarsInProgress = 1 events.
