Hello. I'm using various interconnected studies to show a TICK-NASDAQ as a Cumulative Adjusted Value instead of how it's usually presented (value inbetween -1000 and +1000) so I can better see the trend and the momentum, I would like to have it shown as a candlesticks instead of as a simple line. I have tried messing around with different studies, but the only way I have found currently is to use the 'Period OHLC-Variable Period' study in order to produce what looks like candles. But it's messy and not what I want. I'm sure there's a better way, but I can't find it. What I would want is a study that would take the value from the Cumulative Adjusted Tick, and 'cut' it into periods, of let's say 30 seconds, so I would effectively see the data as 30 seconds candles. I hope I'm clear enough, I have included a screenshot of what my Study currently looks like. |

Use the Study Overlay - OHLC study The Cumulative Adjusted Tick study would be on a short duration bar chart, and overlay it with the Study Overlay - OHLC on the longer duration bar chart. Study Overlay - OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) |

We are not exactly what you have, but look at the Spreadsheet Formula - Bar study that allows you to specify how the Open/High/Low/Close of the study are created.
