Fully agree. But when coupled with the graphs in the other window that are
still on the time base, then then price targets and turning points from P&F
coupled with the ability to manipulate the indicators to see what the price
would need to be in the future to achieve indicator/oscillator objectives
and you start to get a man-in-the-loop optimisation type solution.

I have no idea if it will be better than just using simple but very well
understood approach. But it sounds interesting to me which is why I asked
for them some time ago.
