Re: mixing tick charts with other data streams

I'm not interested in backtesting,  I only wish to see where to have a
visual indication  of when a ondition exists in a given mkt or index.
I have a simple audio alert when these things occur but I would like to have
a visual indication on the chart as well.  With Ensign it is a trivial
matter to put the appropriate overlay on a tick chart but not so with TS.

Thanks
