Pros and cons

Pros

Built in; you choose the exact range to profile
TradingView documents how it picks lower-timeframe data (from 1S up to 1D) to stay under 5,000 bars

Cons

Detail depends on the lower timeframe it can request, which changes with range length
On futures and spreads it uses a different data-selection rule, per TradingView
