Guys,
I cannot find this indicator that a few people have made some versions of.

It is the indicator that will create "boxes" or "simulated"candlesticks" on top of a SMALL AND FAST Tick chart -- and the "boxes" simulate a Higher Timeframe box.

For example -- You like trading from the 5 minute bar

but then you wanted to see what is going on the tick chart

You open a tick chart

and then SUPER IMPOSE these boxes or simulated candle sticks -- that will simulate the 5 min candles.

here is a picture of one that I found in the forum

The anaMultiPeriodBoxes -- I tried looking in LizardTraders website but I can't find them there either.

I know someone else had another indicator that would simulate the higher candlesticks on the chart.

@OpalDragon


Perhaps this Multi Period Candles

Its added to NT8 as a Chart Style.

You add the Multi Period Candles as a second Data Series:-

Issue may be it is a “Chart Style” not an Indicator.
Add another Data Series, then Properties / Chart Style / scroll down and select “MultiPeriodCandles”.

There's more detail by creator “Botts” under NT8 downloads. He was very generous and made other downloads available as well fwiw.
