Rolling periods for 1 min chart based on 15 min ADX-possible?

Hello,

Problem: I am using a 1-minute and 15-minute chart. I use the ADX from the 15 min chart. I wonder if, instead of waiting for the next 15-minute bar to close, I could have a rolling 15-minute ADX on my 1-minute chart.

Does this make sense? I appreciate any guidance on this. Thanks!

adjust the length to be 15x bigger

The following is a 15m ADX plotted on a 1m chart. The 15m ADX line on the 1m chart is smoothed to approximate the ADX displayed on a 15m chart.
