I am developing pinescript indicator with multi timeframe support

indicator("My indicator", timeframe = "")

I want to plot somevalue with offset

plot(somevalue, offset = 5)

This works fine if indicator is on the default chart timeframe, but if it is on some other custom timeframe the offset value is wrong. The offset argument is always measured in the number of bars on the chart's timeframe. But script's logic runs on a higher timeframe.

//@version=6
indicator("My indicator", timeframe="")
somevalue = close
offset = 5
plot(somevalue, offset=offset)

I need to calculate the ratio between the indicator's timeframe and the chart's timeframe and then multiply my offset by this ratio. How to accomplish this? timeframe.main_period and timeframe.period both return indicator's timeframe. How do I get chart timeframe?

One example of such indicator is built-in Williams Alligator. It technically has multi timeframe support but it is not displayed correctly if timeframe is different from Chart.
