Utilize tick and time bar simultaneously

Hi,

I typically like to have a chart up that uses tick bars, and other charts/DOM that utilize time bars. I know to use a tick chart, the Data/Trade Service Settings - "Intraday Data Storage Time Unit" is set to 1 tick. My question is, is there a way to have some charts/DOM use a "1 tick" setting, and other charts use a "1 second" setting?

No, it is not possible to have the data stored in two different formats. It also would not be efficient, as you would then have 2 files for the same data.

Thanks for the info. Would keeping the "Intraday Data Storage Time Unit" being set to 1 tick have a large impact on the DOM?

It will have nearly no impact on the Trading DOM. The Trading DOM has only a small dependency on the data storage time unit, and only if you are actually displaying any studies on the Trading DOM.

The Chart DOM itself has no dependency on the data storage time unit, as there is no connection to that data within the DOM.
