Q: Is there a way to capture the real-time values either on the chart or using some other technique/study? Thank you.

No, there is not a way to do this in the way you are thinking. When you overlay a bar, it is overlaying the information for that bar as it is at that time.

The only way to do what you are wanting would be to add the EMA to the 1 second chart and set the length to be what you are wanting (i.e. if you were using a length of 6 on the 1 minute chart, then you would need to set the length to 360 for a 1 second chart (6 bars x 60 seconds per bar = 360).
