The way I do this is use the 1 minute chart for everything.  An EMA
of length=34 on 13-minute bars is the same as an EMA of length=442
on 1-minute bars (13*34=442).  You'll probably get a "better" moving
average this way too.

Whenever I have multiple timeframes, I always try to figure out if
I can do all my indicators in the smallest time frames.  For stuff
based on averages, it's easy.  For pattern-recognition functions or
swing detection algorithms, it's hard; for those you pretty much
have to use the target timeframe as well as your 1-minute bars.
