I asked last week if anyone would be interested in new TradingView indicators. There were quite a few upvotes when we compare my posts but noone commented. Perhaps these were all bots but so what, I want to learn it and will proceed anyway.

I decided that this series will **NOT** be dead serious. It will be just my road through TradingView.

This time I will not try to bore you to sleep...

and I will immediately fast forward to:

# Creating a SYNTHETIC OHLC CHART

I logged in to TradingView and saw that they provide **STEEMBTC** and **SBDBTC** from Poloniex but there is NO STEEMBTC like the one in the internal STEEM marked.

## How do you create one if it is not available???

Well If you attended elementary school, math in this case is simple:

## How to create a candlestick chart for that?

A recipe in 3 steps:

1. Take STEEM/BTC and SBD/BTC timeseries from Poloniex
2. Divide OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) values as described above.
3. Draw the new thing with nice colors.

## Show me the code

```
//@version=2
// Syntetic STEEM/SBD candlestick chart based STEEM/BTC and SBD/STB from Poloniex
// by @cryptomental
// https://steemit.com/@cryptomental

study(title = "SteemSBD indicator", shorttitle = "SteemSBD indicator")


steembtc_o = security("POLONIEX:STEEMBTC", period, open)
sbdbtc_o = security("POLONIEX:SBDBTC", period, open)

steembtc_h = security("POLONIEX:STEEMBTC", period, high)
sbdbtc_h = security("POLONIEX:SBDBTC", period, high)

steembtc_l = security("POLONIEX:STEEMBTC", period, low)
sbdbtc_l = security("POLONIEX:SBDBTC", period, low)

steembtc_c = security("POLONIEX:STEEMBTC", period, close)
sbdbtc_c = security("POLONIEX:SBDBTC", period, close)

steemsbd_o = steembtc_o / sbdbtc_o
steemsbd_h = steembtc_h / sbdbtc_h
steemsbd_l = steembtc_l / sbdbtc_l
steemsbd_c = steembtc_c / sbdbtc_c

palette = steemsbd_c >= steemsbd_o ? lime : red

plotcandle(steemsbd_o, steemsbd_h, steemsbd_l, steemsbd_c, color=palette)

```

## And that's how it looks like

Last values should be similar to internal STEEM market but based on Poloniex trades.

## Compared to the internal STEEM market:

# What else?

I published the indicator as a public one, you can insert it to your charts now.

I did not consider Volume at all this time, but will probably use this indicator later on as a base for another indicators.

That's it for today... uff I thought the post will take me 30 min and it took 1.5h with all the screeshots ;-)
