Time and ticks or volume

[eDanny]

Quick question. If I were to plot, say, a line at the close of the first half hour of the day (10:00 AM) on a 1 min chart how could I plot the same line on a tick chart or volume or range chart and have it be at the same price? And, if I did, it would disappear or change with a chart refresh wouldn't it?

You could use the GetBar() method to determine how many bars ago a 10 AM bar is. As for price, the line is drawn at whatever price you set the line/plot at. It would not disapear as you change the chart, the indicator logic would just be recalculated on the new data.

I guess what I'm saying is the close price of a bar at a certain time on a time chart is not even the close of a bar on a tick chart or vol or range chart. How could I get the same price on any chart?

I don't think you can guarantee that since you can only get price values based on time and there is no guarantee on an tick based interval chart that you would have a 10:00 AM bar.
