what period are the fractals set to, it shows me different fractals from the default indicator on ctrader !

excellent indicators, is it possible in your opinion to insert a multi timeframe, for example observe the H1 fractals on a 5 minute TimeFrame ?

this indicator would look great combined with the zigzag.
For example, in the entire zig zag leg it would form a line, like this image below.

buggy, it deletes trendlines you draw by hand
