Charting Monthly/Weekly/Daily/16minute charts on a single Multipane chart

Hi Chad, is it possible to put a monthly, weekly, daily and a 16 minute chart on a single multipane chart? Clearly MPD is not intended for this purpose. I have tried to do the above, but it's not working. I have posted the chart definition to Linnsoft.com. Please have a look at this for me. Thanks. https://www.linnsoft.com/charts/bd-mwd-28-04-bd

Mixing Periodicity

Not easy to do, but this may give you what you're after.  The primary instrument would need to be 16m* (top pane, and whitespace turned off).  The other panes would be "Time Per Bar: Daily/Weekly/Monthly".  These would be daily/weekly/monthly built from 1-minute data so you may have to extend your 1-minute data retention and do a full download.  When you scroll chart back, the 16m bars will scroll and the d/w/m will stay right aligned.  When adding an indicator to a chart, you have to be careful which instrument (and pane) you're adding to at lower right of Add Indicator window.

Mixing Periodicity

Hi Chad, unfortunately it seems that the d/w/m charts are not updating correctly. The range today(2018/05/04) on the 16 min chart (symbol BD#) is totally different to the range on the corresponding 1 day bar which is date stamped as 2014/07/31 at 12:26. So perhaps it isn't going to be possible to mix the periodicities on a single multipane chart.
