If any indicator averages past data, it will lag.

Not sure but I think you can update intrabar instead of on close of bar but am not sure but I can imagine it would be a resource hog

On indicators that have period option like ema etc., you can use a fraction of an hour but I'm not sure that you will get what you want cause I haven't tried it.

Assuming you understand that all indicators are lagging in nature, and just want a more updated plot, you can try this:

Right click on your chart and select indicators from the sub menu.

Select the current indicator you wish to plot realtime.

Under the general tab on the right side of the dialogue box, select 'calculate on bar close', then select 'False'.

Now the indicator plot extends to the recent candle (or bar, if you choose) and actually moves with price.

Hope this helps.
