Hello,

with the running write bar study I´m getting chart data about 5 Min VAL and VAH.
This is only after a 5 Min update, but how can I get the running values for 5 Min chart?
I need to know the moving values for 5 Min unit after every 1 Min.

How can I get this or what to set up in Sierra?
thanks

If you need the values at every 1 minute, then you would need a 1 minute chart. You can not get updates every 1 minute for a 5 minute chart.

Hello,

yes, I understand how it works with M5 & M1 charts, but is there any option to get running M5 charts data.
I see them on the chart and for example POC is moving in other price levels as the M1 chart.

So I have to always wait for new M5 candle? Also in case that the changes I see directly on the chart.
thanks

You would have to create a custom study and write out the data from that study based on the 1 minute increments. Refer to the following:
