You can use the aggregation period. Here's an example from the docs to plot the 15m close on your chart.
https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/...gregationPeriod/AggregationPeriod-FIFTEEN-MIN
There are limits to what you can do. You can't plot the 1m on a 5m chart, nor the 30m on a 2h chart. But you can go the other direction and plot the 30m on a 5m chart if you want.

Code: 
plot 15m_EMA = MovAvgExponential(price = close(period = AggregationPeriod.FIFTEEN_MIN));

In this example, I've plotted the 15m ema by calling the price for the function using a secondary aggregation period. This one is simple, but illustrates the point I hope.

Ask more if you need,

I created a label for this based on Ripsters EMA clouds. I’ll jump on the computer later and post it here. It’s mostly complete but any input from anyone else on the forum would be greatly appreciated.

If it’s not posted in the next hour or two send me a DM because I probably forgot haha

What I promised. See if that is helpful for you. I just add one for each time frame needed.

#MACD Histogram Cross
#Justin Turner

Declare Upper;

input time_frame = AggregationPeriod.DAY;

def lookback = 1;
def fastLength = 12;
def slowLength = 26;
def MACDLength = 9;
def averageType = AverageType.EXPONENTIAL;
def showBreakoutSignals = no;
def time_select = (close(period = time_frame));

def value = MovingAverage(averageType, time_select, fastLength) - MovingAverage(averageType,time_select, slowLength);
def avg = MovingAverage(averageType, Value, MACDLength);

def bull_cross = value crosses above avg;
def bear_cross = value crosses below avg;

def bull_lookback = highest(bull_cross, lookback);
def bear_lookback = highest(bear_cross, lookback);

AddLabel (yes,
