It seems that the recommended way to access another timeframe is to have a separate chart. I'm curious, however, if there is some way I can get access to a 1-tick timeframe without doing this. The VWAP study sorely needs some options such as end date/time, "moving vwap" option (like a moving average, which will calculate the last X bars, instead of cumulative from the beginning), and if I can incorporate mouse events, a "Draw VWAP" that functions much like "Draw Volume Profile."

Additionally, from the above code samples it looks like perhaps if I'm referencing a smaller time frame (say, referencing a 1-tick chart from a 3000 V chart), then I am only able to get the nearest match, not every tick, but I have not checked this yet. So, is it possible to access each individual trade without using another chart?

You do have to reference a separate 1 Tick chart. However, the current study does not do that, it uses the sc.VolumeAtPriceForBars ACSIL member to access the data that it needs.
