Summary of Changes

- Added a timeframe input tfInput = input.timeframe(title="选择周期", defval="60") to let you choose the source timeframe for the mid-price.
- Replaced the previous-bar mid-price with request.security(syminfo.tickerid, tfInput, hl2[1], barmerge.gaps_off, barmerge.lookahead_off) , so it uses the selected timeframe’s last completed bar.
- Moved the request.security(...) call outside conditional blocks to satisfy Pine’s dynamic request restriction.
- Updated color selection to key off tfInput in getRayColor() , mapping 5/15/30/60/240/D/W to the corresponding colors.
- Preserved line drawing behavior: when rayLength == 0 it extends to the right; otherwise it draws a fixed-length segment; rayStyle and rayWidth still apply.
- Indicator short name is MPR ; the title is simplified to a concise name.
Behavior

- Regardless of the chart timeframe, the ray’s price level is the midpoint of the previous bar from tfInput . For example, on a 5-minute chart with tfInput set to 60 , the ray uses the previous 1-hour bar’s midpoint.
- The ray’s X anchor stays at the chart’s bar_index - 1 ; only the Y level comes from the selected timeframe.
Notes

- barmerge.lookahead_off ensures values come from completed higher-timeframe bars.
- If you want the ray’s X anchor to align to the selected timeframe bar’s close time, we can add time-based bar_index alignment.
