I think I understand. My concept is to create a study that will calculate high/low or whatever else you want from another study on the time frame you are using. Then you can either just look at it plotted on the study, and/or you could overlay the study on a bigger time frame and set the study to display as the main price graph, which will give you a snapshot of the lower time frame every x minutes. A couple things. First, are you only using minute charts and/or always using the same charts? Reason I ask is because it is a little simpler if I can use a bar input parameter vs. time input parameter, e.g. 6 bars if you want to see 5 minute chart on a 30 minute chart. But if you are changing time frames frequently or using other types of charts then it would be better to use time. Second, is there anything else you want to see beside the high/low? Final thought, if you want to plot on the higher time frame chart and are frequently changing the higher time chart, e.g. from 30 to 60 to 240 minutes, etc. then I may be able to use the value of the higher time frame chart as an input the for lower time frame calculation so it would automatically change the lookback period on the lower time frame chart to be viewed on the higher time frame chart. For example, if you are using a 5 minute base chart and you change the higher chart from 30 to 60 minutes, then the lookback period on the 5 minute chart would automatically change from 30 to 60 minutes as well. I've never done it so I am not sure if that is possible or not, but if it's desireable, then I can try to do it. Let me know.
