Multi-Timeframe Indicator — BTCUSD + ETH 4h

// Multi-Timeframe Indicator — BTCUSD 1h with ETH 4h SMA Overlay

// Demonstrates data.loadCandles() with a callback to evaluate an indicator
// on a secondary timeframe's native bars. The ETH 4h SMA(50) is computed on
// actual 4h bars (not forward-filled 1h bars), giving accurate cross-timeframe
// analysis — just like Pine Script's request.security().
